Head of Design at Overtone

Are you ready to redefine how the world connects? Overtone is looking for a founding Head of Design to lead the creative charge in NYC. Founded by the creator of Hinge and backed by Match Group, Overtone is moving past the 'swipe' to build a more human, AI-powered dating experience. This isn't just an iteration; it's a total reimagining of digital intimacy. If you are a high-craft designer who loves 0-to-1 challenges and wants to own the entire product experience from UX to visual identity, this is your chance to build the next generation of social technology.

Overview

Moving beyond the exhausted swipe model, you will use AI and voice-based tools to create a deeply personal, high-trust experience. You will own the product end-to-end, translating complex human emotions into intuitive, elegant digital interfaces.
