About Blitzy
Blitzy is a Cambridge, MA based Seed Stage Generative AI Start-Up. We are on a mission to automate custom software creation to unlock the next industrial revolution.
We're backed by multiple tier 1 investors, have success as founders at the last start-up, and dozens of Generative AI patents to our names.
Compensation: $100,000-$120,000 annual salary plus equity
Location: One Kendall Square, Cambridge MA 02139 (In-person role)
About The Role
We are looking for a Senior UX/UI Designer to join our team and take ownership of all aspects of design. You will be working alongside our CEO, CTO, Engineering team and GTM team on all aspects of design across the company. You will work directly with the founding team and leverage your experiences and abilities to inform decisions from product, marketing, and strategy. You will help us build the foundation of this company: its culture, its processes, and its practices. You will be employee # 12. There are a ton of interesting problems to solve, so come hungry. If your colleagues describe you as curious, driven, kind, and creative you will be a culture fit.
What Success Look Like
Our hiring process is designed for you to demonstrate a generalist set of capabilities, with a specialization in product design
Successful Candidates Must Have Expertise
Who we are: Our founding team is composed of a Serial Gen AI Inventor and a Serial Entrepreneur. We work hard, have a curious mind-set, and believe in a low-ego high output approach.
We love to move fast on all ‘two-way door’ decisions. A good decision made today is better than a ‘perfect’ decision in 1 week.
We believe in the importance of being an ‘everyday athlete’ so you can bring your best mind to work. We promote getting great sleep, motion/movement in daily, along with whatever other type of restorative activity gets you to optimal mental performance. It makes for a happier and more productive team.
More tactically, we leave the office in time to have dinner at home with our families nearly every night.
What We Ask Of You
Please ask yourself if you are ready for a challenge before applying. Even in optimal conditions, Start-Ups are hard, and are always a lot of work. What you do week to week will change. If this feels exciting, not concerning, that’s a good sign.
They also require a lot of autonomy. We will be in person, and we have relevant experience, but we do not have all the answers. Like every start-up, we continue to discover as we build. If this is exciting, please reach out.
