Role overview
Software
Every major technological shift has fundamentally transformed how humans experience stories. The printing press and books brought stories to the masses. The camera and cinema made stories visual spectacles. The internet and streaming put infinite stories in our pockets.
AI will do the same. Instead of passively watching stories unfold, people will be able to live inside them — making decisions as the protagonist while AI generates the next scene in real time, responding to every choice.
But AI storytelling today is stuck in "slop territory". We're building the best AI director for unscripted entertainment in 2D today but soon for real-time video.
This powers a UGC platform where millions of creators can craft immersive experiences with nothing more than a story worth telling, and countless players can step inside these worlds and live them.
The goal is to build the most immersive kind of entertainment ever, and democratize creation beyond the usual suspects (Hollywood and AAA gaming studios).
We are well-funded (backed by tier 1 SF and European funds) with strong industry connections.
What you will do
- Lead the end-to-end design process, from conceptualizing complex AI-driven workflows to delivering polished, high-fidelity interfaces for a global creator community.
- Collaborate directly with the founders to draw the product roadmap and translate abstract storytelling concepts into intuitive, immersive user experiences.
- Iterate rapidly based on user data and feedback from active cohorts, ensuring the platform remains engaging for power users who currently spend hours daily on the site.
Who this is a fit for
- Proven experience as a product designer in a fast-paced startup environment, ideally within gaming, social platforms, or complex creative toolsets.
- Exceptional ability to work autonomously without a pre-defined roadmap, demonstrating a high degree of comfort with ambiguity and foundational decision-making.
- Strong portfolio showcasing excellence in both UX logic and UI aesthetics, with a passion for entertainment, RPGs, or the intersection of AI and human creativity.
Why this role is remarkable
- Shape the future of storytelling by building an entirely new category of entertainment that moves beyond passive viewing to active, AI-generated participation.
- Join a world-class founding team, including an ex-DeepMind AI researcher and a former VC principal, backed by top-tier global venture capital firms.
- Enjoy high autonomy and ownership in a culture that values intellectual honesty, excellence, and the ability to make foundational product decisions from day one.
