Founding Product Designer
Do you want to design something truly new — something you’re proud of, slightly uncomfortable, and genuinely meaningful?
Something fun, futuristic, and yes… a little bit wild.
My name is Nick. I’m the CEO of voiceERP. And we’re reimagining what it's like to work as a frontline employee.
At voiceERP, we’re building Viki — an AI manager for hourly workers.
Think Siri -- except she’s your boss. And she speaks without being asked.
It’s ambitious. It’s strange. And if we get it wrong, it absolutely could feel like a Black Mirror episode.
That’s why this role matters so much.
Who we are
We are a seed-stage company backed by Salesforce VC and Pejman Nozad / Pear (the #1 Seed Investor according to Forbes). Just a few months since launching, thousands of Amazon delivery drivers are already being managed by Viki every single day.
Drivers talk to her. Joke with her. Ask her questions. And, most importantly, she helps direct their work in real time.
The Role
We’re looking for a highly empathetic, design-driven, detail-obsessed early-career product designer / product associate to help us define how an AI “manager” should look, feel, sound, and behave.
You’ll work directly with me and a small, elite engineering team to design the interfaces, flows, and interactions that shape how real people experience AI at work — every single day.
This is not a typical design role. This is not safe, incremental UX.
We’re exploring completely uncharted territory:
- What should an AI boss say?
- When should it speak — and when should it stay silent?
- How do we design authority without fear?
- How do we make something powerful feel human, respectful, and even warm?
If we do this right, we’ll make work feel better. If we do it wrong, we could make people’s lives miserable.
No pressure.
What You’ll Do
- Design interfaces, flows, and interactions for a voice-first AI product
- Create Figma mockups, wireframes, and prototypes engineers can build from directly
- Translate abstract product ideas into clear, thoughtful designs
- Sweat the details — wording, spacing, timing, tone
- Advocate relentlessly for the end user
- Help define the personality and experience of Viki, not just the UI around her
You will have real ownership, real influence, and real responsibility from day one.
Who You Are
This role is about taste and empathy more than resumes.
You might be a great fit if:
- You are deeply empathetic and think constantly about how things feel
- You care about beauty, clarity, and craft
- You notice when something feels “off,” even if you can’t explain why yet
- You are detail-obsessed in a way that borders on annoying / neurotic
- You enjoy responsibility and aren’t afraid of ambiguity
- You want to grow very fast, very early in your career
New grads are welcome. So are people with a couple years of experience. What matters most is how you think and that you are deeply obsessed with beauty.
Why This Is Special
- You’ll work directly with the CEO
- You’ll design something that millions of blue-collar workers may interact with daily
- You’ll help define a new category of human-AI interaction
- You’ll have immediate, visible impact
- You’ll be paid well and trusted early
This is a rare chance to shape something foundational.
