About the role

Brand designer with engineering mindset to define and operationalize visual language and messaging for Applied Compute, spanning website, blog, case studies, GTM assets, and public-facing materials; collaborates with founders to prototype, build, and polish interfaces on top of research and infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Define the visual language, voice, and design philosophy for Applied Compute: from the website to the decks.
  • Turn our research into interactive experiences.
  • Find the visual vocabulary for abstract infrastructure across models, weights, traces, inference, and continual learning.
  • Establish the systems (components, templates, primitives) that let a small team ship consistently across sales collateral, GTM assets, and launches.
  • Push our engineering and research teams on craft, and partner with them closely on storytelling.

Qualifications

  • Strong brand and visual design chops, with a portfolio of public-facing work.
  • Technical fluency. We publish frontier work on post-training, RL, and async training, and would be excited to work with someone who finds this research exciting.
  • An engineer's instincts about our audience.
  • Hands on keyboard. We'd be eager to work with someone who has strong opinions and wants to execute them personally.
  • High agency and comfort with ambiguity in a fast-moving market.
