Role overview
SoftwareLondon, United KingdomPre-Seed (VC-backed)
At Mozart AI we’re reimagining how music is made. Our vision is to make music creation as universal and engaging as listening is for billions today. Our mission is to build products and experiences that turn musical intuition into studio-quality songs that are easy to share, monetise, and earn recognition for great taste.
We’re a venture-backed company supported by some of the best investors in the world, including a tier-1 VC (undisclosed for now), as we build the future of music creation.
Backed by EWOR, New Renaissance Ventures, Atlantis Ventures, Felix Jahn, Stefan Glaenzer.
What you will do
- Execute a full consumer rebrand and ship a unified design system across product, marketing, and motion within your first 60 days.
- Run at least four design-led cohort experiments per month, using data and first-principles thinking to drive signups, activation, and paid conversions.
- Directly bridge the design-to-code gap by writing React and Tailwind CSS, ensuring every pixel in production perfectly matches your high-fidelity interactive prototypes.
Who this is a fit for
- A consumer-focused designer with a portfolio of emotional, high-engagement brands (e.g., Spotify, Instagram) rather than B2B SaaS or administrative dashboards.
- An AI-native power user who treats tools like Cursor and Claude as a core part of their design discipline to ship frontend code and interactive prototypes quickly.
- A musician, producer, or beatmaker who speaks the language of creators and possesses deep intuition for what makes music-making tools feel fun and approachable.

Why this role is remarkable
- Join a tier-1 venture-backed team (Balderton) as the first design hire, owning up to 0.8% equity and defining the entire visual and creative identity of the brand.
- Solve a unique dual-mode design challenge, building a product that serves both "tourist" casual creators and professional bedroom producers without compromising on power or accessibility.
- Ship at extreme velocity using an AI-native toolchain (Cursor, Claude Code), where your designs move from Figma to production in hours rather than weeks.
