The little details make the big picture. We are looking to hire a Principal Product Designer with the ambition to go far beyond "good enough".
As a Principal Product Designer, you will talk to users, develop user experience strategy and design, ​​and take ownership of the little details that take a product from good to great. The role is hands-on; we're looking for someone who loves their craft.

Things that might make you a good fit

  • Familiar with dev tools: our users are software engineers, so it helps if you have been (or are) a software engineer, or have designed dev tools before.
  • 2y+ experience hands-on UI/UX or product at a startup
  • High-energy: you love what you do
  • Ambition: you want to make something great
  • Creative: you have many ideas and you love bringing them up
  • Attention to detail: you noticed that we forgot the ":" after "2y+ experience", and it bothered you.

Magic's culture

  • Integrity. Words and actions should be aligned.
  • Hands-on. Most of us have previously led engineering teams. At Magic, there are no managers. We all spend the vast majority of our time on engineering. If you want to solve hard problems, Magic is the right place for you.
  • Teamwork. We move as one team, not as N individuals.
  • Focus. Ethically deploy AGI. Everything else is noise.
  • Quality. We have high standards for ourselves and our products. Magic should feel like magic.

Benefits and perks

  • Benchmark-based compensation in the 75th or 90th percentile, including base salary, equity, and benefits
  • Flexible working hours
  • In-person (SF or Vienna) or remote
  • A small, fast-paced, highly focused team
About Magic
Magic is a public benefit corporation dedicated to building and safely deploying aligned, superhuman AGI.
FAQ:
What's your motivation?
Automation has led humanity from subsistence farming to becoming a globally connected society. AGI is the ultimate chapter of the story of human tool-building, presenting the potential to decouple productivity and ingenuity from human labor. What if the last 50 years of technological progress happened in 2 days? We want to make this a possibility.
Funding?
We've raised $28M from tier 1 investors.
How do we balance deploying the technology today with ambitions for AGI?
We think deploying AI within the right interfaces is just as important as the technology itself. Building an AI pair programmer helps us do both at the same time. We aim to launch gradually improving AI assistants while pursuing work on what will ultimately become AGI.
Do you train your own models?
Yes
Do you care about the product?
It's funny that this is an FAQ, but many AI companies neglect UX and focus only on their model. Yes, we care.
Can I work from anywhere?
We welcome applications from anyone around the world. We'll look at visa requirements case by case.
I don't meet all the criteria, should I still apply?
If you feel you have something to contribute to the mission and you're a high-energy person, absolutely. We make exceptions for exceptional people.
