Senior UI/UX Designer — Design the interface that makes browsers and websites obsolete

The browser has had thirty years and it still cannot handle this sentence:

"I want to visit Paris with @Merlyn and @Sander."

Not because the information doesn't exist, but because nothing on the internet was ever built to take that sentence seriously — to parse the intent, pull Merlyn and Sander's worlds into it, book the flights, check three calendars, split the cost, curate the outfits, lock the restaurants, and send the invites.

The @ is the new address.
Every brand, every person, every experience has one. This is why websites will become obsolete.
That is what iAM does. And it goes live in +- 2 weeks.

What this means for design
The interface that makes all of that happen is called the Stage.
It assembles around human intent in real time.
One sentence, one screen, and everything executable.

The system is unlike anything on the internet, and the design needs to match that. We are defining a completely new visual and interaction language for how a billion people will navigate their lives.
We are building a design-led company because the Stage lives or dies on how it feels.
We already have a foundational UI and UX direction set by our Head of Product.
What we need now is someone to take that foundation and push it into something the world has never seen.
We are 2.5 weeks from MVP and moving straight into pre-seed conversations after that.

What you will own

The Stage interaction model. Define how intent becomes interface.
How a single sentence transforms into a screen that feels instantly clear, instantly trustworthy, and instantly actionable. No friction, no confusion, no generic AI aesthetic.
The design system. Build it in Figma.
Components, typography, spacing, states, motion rules, theming.
Engineering ships from your system.
The interaction blueprint. Clickable, implementation-ready prototypes that go straight to production with minimal interpretation.
You work directly with the head of product and team of founding engineers.

What you design, they build.

The design language of the @.
One design system for millions of Stages. Brands, people, experiences, commerce. The system needs to be simple and uniform enough that every Stage feels instantly like iAM — and flexible enough that every @ feels like its own world.

What you need to bring

5+ years designing product experiences that ship, not just concepts.
You have built or owned a design system and enforced consistency across a product.
Strong interaction intuition — restraint, clarity, premium feel.
You design for conversion, trust, and outcomes, not decoration. Founder-level pace — you move fast, decide fast, iterate fast.
If you code — React, Next.js, Tailwind — that is a strong plus. If you have designed AI-native products, even better.

The deal

• We are 2.5 weeks from MVP and moving straight into pre-seed conversations after that.
• 1% founding equity 1 year cliff, standard 4 year vesting.
• Full market salary immediately upon pre-seed close.
• Remote, everywhere.
• Full creative authority from day one Incorporated into the founding team upon signing
• This role is equity-only until the raise. The right person already knew that before they got here.

When applying, tell us:

• Share 1 to 2 shipped products that show taste and systems thinking.
• Describe one surface you designed that increased trust or conversion and how you knew it worked.
• What does the Stage need to feel like — and what would you never let it become?

iAM is equity-only, pre-seed, remote-first, and building what comes after the browser.

The next internet is not coming. It is already being built.
