About the role

What you will do

  • Lead Exa's product design across all platforms and touch points.
  • Explore visual designs in Figma or Claude/Codex/Cursor and translate them into web-native experiences.
  • Iterate on the future of agent-native experiences: how does this new wave of autonomous agents change the way that people discover, integrate, and build with our product?
  • Identify and pursue new areas of product growth; create and iterate on product flows and high-fidelity visuals.

Example projects

  • Work with front-end engineering to develop the flow, layout, and features of our API playground.
  • Design novel onboarding, documentation, and debugging experiences that are seamless with coding agent workflows.

About you

  • Proficiency in design tools like Figma, Sketch, and Adobe Creative Suite.
  • Experience using coding agents to ship projects and iterate on designs.
  • Strong curiosity for the latest tools: coding agents, design libraries, shaders.
  • Expertise in UX/UI principles for complex technical products.
  • A strong perspective and good judgement.
  • 3+ years of experience, with ideally at least 1-2 years of in-house design experience.
  • You thrive in high velocity, high growth, scrappy startup environments.
