Role
Who you are
- You've shipped real product work. Not just screens. You've taken ambiguous problems, figured out the right shape, and shipped something people use. We care more about the quality of your thinking than the logos on your resume
- You have opinions about AI and creativity. You've thought about where AI should lead and where humans should steer. You have a point of view on what makes AI-generated output feel good versus feel generic. You're excited by these questions, not intimidated by them
- You're a builder. You prototype, you ship, you iterate. If you vibe code side projects or have a broad toolkit of AI tools, even better. We value people who make things
- You think in systems. You see the patterns across features and want to create the shared foundations that make everything better. You're not just solving one screen at a time
- You make the people around you better. Design at Mutiny isn't a service org. You'll be in the room shaping product strategy, pushing back when something doesn't feel right, and pulling engineers into design conversations early
What the job involves
- This is a founding design role. You'll lead design for our core product and shape the creative agent that sits at the center of everything we do
- You'll work directly with Henrik (Head of Product & Design), our engineering team, and our CEO Jaleh to define what Mutiny looks and feels like
- We're a small team backed by Sequoia and YC
- The people using Mutiny (Uber, Amplitude, Qualtrics, and others) are progressive teams that are early adopters of AI in their workflows
- They have high standards and strong opinions about what works. You'll hear from them constantly
- Build the product into a system for GTM teams
- Right now our creative agent does a few things really well. Your job is to help us expand it into the complete toolkit that teams on the forefront of AI actually need
- That means designing new surfaces, rethinking existing ones, and figuring out how AI can take over the boring, tedious parts of GTM work so people can spend their time being more strategic
- You'll own the end-to-end experience, from the first interaction with the agent to the final published asset
- Teach our AI to have better taste
- The output quality of our creative agent matters as much as the experience around it
- You'll work closely with our engineering team to refine how our models generate creative work: better defaults, smarter constraints, stronger adherence to brand guidelines
- The goal is an AI that's genuinely creative but also knows how to color inside the lines when it needs to
- This is part design, part curation, part building the feedback loops that make the system get better over time
- Build systems that help the whole team ship great design
- You won't just design features
- You'll build the design systems, component libraries, and internal tools that make it possible for product and engineering to ship well-designed work without a bottleneck
- Think of it as designing the infrastructure of quality: the patterns, the guardrails, and the shared language that keep everything feeling cohesive as we move fast
- Impact: Your work will shape the core creative workflows that define our product strategy for the next 18 months
- Velocity: We move fast, ship often, and learn directly from customers
- Collaboration: Partner with a high-caliber, supportive team committed to building the future of enterprise GTM
- Growth: Be part of a fast-scaling startup where design has a seat at the table and drives product direction
Application process
- Our process typically takes 2–3 weeks end-to-end
- Intro call: 30 minutes with Henrik. We'll talk about your work, what excites you, and whether the challenge feels like a fit. No trick questions
- Show your work: A Loom walkthrough of 2 projects (5-10 min), then a 1-hour in-person portfolio conversation. We want to understand how you think, not just what you shipped
- Meet the team: Three 30-minute conversations with your PM, engineering, and CX counterparts. Real conversations, not panel interviews
- Final chats: A conversation with Jaleh, our CEO. She cares deeply about design. This is about mutual fit, not a test
Our take
For many businesses, personalizing their messaging and media for multiple audiences can be very extremely difficult, meaning that most advertising spend is wasted. Mutiny solves this problem by giving marketers access to a suite of AI-powered personalization tools, allowing a company to serve thousands of different versions of its website, tailored to each individual visitor based on a user's demographics and market segment.
Mutiny is one among many companies operating in the highly competitive marketing optimization space, including several others that use AI tools such as Constructor and Intellimize. However it is unique in that it provides a self-service function whereas other AI tools offer a slower and less flexible managed service. This has allowed Mutiny to carve out a significant niche in the sector, gaining DropBox, Snowflake and Carta among its growing customer base.
Mutiny raised significant funding in a 2022 Series B round. This capital is being used to onboard talent, doubling the size of the team. It is also investing heavily in its technology to ensure that its AI remains accurate in determining customer preferences. As companies continue to invest more and more into their online marketing spend, Mutiny is in a strong position to continue its rapid growth.

Company benefits
- You will create a name for yourself by bringing a level of design polish never before seen in this category while developing a spicy brand (in an otherwise boring space).
- You will get exposure to real business problems every company faces (growth) that you can take with you to start your own company (or to help scale another).
- You will have fun, plain and simple. There is a reason our first company value is that work should feel like play.
- You will experience a new way of working. Our team is fully distributed across the US and EU. But we come together as a company for quarterly offsites (usually in super fun places). This combination of experience-based working is a competitive advantage we plan on leaning into.
