Founding Designer

What We’re Building

At General Intelligence Company (GIC), we’re building highly-capable autonomous agents for startups. Our goal is to enable the one-person, one-billion-dollar company. Our agents don’t just automate workflows—they replace them. We need a talented designer to help make our interface intuitive, functional, and fast.

Our system is powerful, but we need someone to refine the experience. We’re looking for someone who thinks like a designer but codes like an engineer—someone who can translate raw intelligence into a seamless user experience.

What You’ll Do

• Own the frontend user experience and build wireframes for our agents product.

• Create beautiful software.

• Build fast, clean, and modular UI components.

• Work directly with our founding team to define user interactions.

• Own a design system on a complex app.

• Optimize for speed, usability, and accessibility.

• Work in fast, iterative cycles — we maintain no backlog.

• Talk to users, conduct UX audits, implement feedback.

• Translate our core principles into product:

  • Cycle time is key. You ship quickly and iterate.

  • Quality matters. Your work stands on its own.

  • No backlogs. Build what’s needed, when it’s needed.

  • FITFO. You figure things out independently.

  • Ownership mindset. You think and act like an owner.

    
    

Who You Are

• You have a 2+ years of experience in UX/UI design.

• You have designed live production-quality software.

• You have a strong aesthetic instinct and can articulate good design.

• You notice things about the world with good and bad user experience in your every day life.

• You have a portfolio of software and design you can share.

• You move fast and have experience in high-velocity teams.

• You thrive in high-agency environments and take initiative.

• You’re excited by AI and shaping the future of work.

What’s Different About GIC?

• Real ownership. You won’t just push tickets—you’ll shape the product.

• Small, elite team. Work directly with founders and have a major impact.

• Craft matters. Speed is key, but quality is never sacrificed.

• In person, in New York City.
