Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone who wants to help define the future of human-computer interaction. We punch above our weight so we value extreme ownership, accountability, and proactiveness
- 3–6+ years of experience designing software products, preferably in productivity, AI, or developer tools (added bonus if you have experience designing for native desktop apps or integrating AI into UI/UX)
- Solid experience with frontend fundamentals and frameworks (Next.js, React)
- Strong portfolio showcasing product thinking and user-centered design across multiple platforms – we appreciate an eye for detail and passion for building beautiful, functional interfaces
- Fluency in design tools like Figma (added bonus if you’ve worked with motion design or prototyping tools) – we’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running day one
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous startup environments with tight feedback loops – we ship features fast, so we need someone who can keep up
- Ownership mentality (no task is too small for you) – it’s all hands on deck here and we need everyone rowing the boat
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset – we’re extremely lean so we’re looking for a team player who works well with others
- Type-A tendencies – maybe you’re extremely detail-oriented. Or maybe you take pride in shipping high-quality products. Whatever it is you do, you give it your all
- Must be based in or willing to relocate to NYC – although we’re flexible with days off & schedules, we have a 100% in-office culture during the week
- And even if you don’t fall neatly into any of these buckets, we’re looking for scrappy and motivated self-starters above all. Hustle is expected, grit is required
What the job involves
- We're looking for a thoughtful, hands-on Product Designer to join our team at Highlight AI and help shape the future of intelligent desktop experiences
- In this role, you'll help shape our design system and take ownership of key features across our cross-platform assistant, designing elegant, intuitive interfaces that make powerful AI capabilities feel natural and accessible
- Own the end-to-end design process—from concept to production—for core product experiences across our desktop platform (macOS + Windows)
- Design intuitive, elegant interfaces that allow users to harness AI with minimal friction
- Conduct user research, gather feedback, and iterate quickly
- Help evolve our design system and visual language to support a scalable, high-performance desktop experience
- Push the boundaries of desktop UI/UX by exploring voice, context-aware design, and real-time interactions
Our take
Video games have become highly social experiences due to multiplayer gaming, eSports, and social media, spawning a huge market for audiences who enjoy watching gaming-related video content. Gamers commonly stream games and edit the footage to produce memes and engage with friends, but this requires many software tools and a separate platform on which to share experiences.
Medal.tv provides a social platform for gaming video clips, allowing users to record and edit footage, make gaming memes, and share content with friends within the same software. The platform collects in-game data to mitigate cheating and cyberbullying and integrates directly into any Windows or Android game.
Whilst the company will face great competition from platform giants such as Youtube, TikTok, and Twitch, Medal.tv shows the potential to stand out by being specifically designed for gaming content. Furthermore, the platform’s accessible video capturing and editing interface keeps the end-to-end social gaming experience within the same platform, making it more convenient and immersive for gamers than on other platforms.
