Founding Designer at Quest AI - VC-backed AI mentor platform
Quest AI is hiring a Founding Designer to build a first-of-its-kind AI mentor that actually knows you. Backed by $6M in pre-seed funding and led by repeat founders who sold their last company to Google, Quest is tackling the unsolved challenge of 'morphing UI'—interfaces that adapt to a user's unique psychology. As employee #4 or #5, you'll own the entire design stack from brand to motion, working in-person in San Francisco to define how the next generation of AI feels. If you're a high-shipping consumer designer ready for true creative ownership, this is your chance to set the standard.
