Designer / Design Engineer

We’re hiring a designer to own product and web design at Manicule. We build software and AI workflows that help technical companies create documentation and content.

You’ll work directly with the founders, turning complex workflows into clear interfaces and shaping how we present the product on the web. This role spans early exploration, interaction design, visual polish, and working with engineers to get the details right.

What you’ll work on

• Product flows, dashboards, and interfaces for managing AI-powered work.
• Our website, landing pages, and product launches.
• A consistent visual language across the product and website.
• Prototypes and implementation reviews to take designs through to shipping.

What we’re looking for

• Experience working with SF startups or technical companies, especially developer tools, AI products, or B2B software.
• A portfolio showing strong product design and web design.
• Good judgment around typography, layout, interaction, and information hierarchy.
• Comfort working from an evolving brief, asking useful questions, and moving quickly with a small team.
• Clear communication and the ability to own work independently in a remote environment.

If you also build interfaces in React, Next.js, or CSS, we’d love to see that work. Frontend implementation experience is a strong plus.

To apply

Apply through YC with your portfolio, availability, and a short introduction. Include one product project and one website you’re proud of, with a brief explanation of your role and what shipped.
