About this role
ABOUT US
At Applied Labs, we’re building the platform for reliable AI agents that automate complex work. We are primarily an in-person company based in New York City.
WHY THIS COULD BE A FIT
- Trajectory: 10x growth in 4 months; strong momentum
- Ownership: High autonomy; own outcomes end to end
- Challenging problems: Build high-craft experiences that explain complex AI simply
- Team quality: Early team from Harvard, MIT, Gemini, Meta
- Speed and taste: Move fast without lowering the bar
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Own the Applied Labs web and brand surfaces from concept to production, including marketing site, landing pages, launch pages, and lightweight interactive storytelling
- Design and build directly in code, translating high-fidelity design into production-quality UI with excellent typography, layout, motion, accessibility, and performance
- Create reusable components and templates that raise consistency and speed across the website and brand experiences
- Build and maintain a high-quality pipeline for on-brand design assets, including images, short-form video, motion graphics, and illustrations
- Use modern AI tools to accelerate output and iteration, including coding agents and generative image and video models, while maintaining a strong human taste and QA bar
- Partner closely with founders in NYC to set the quality bar for how Applied Labs looks, feels, and communicates, and to execute quickly on new narratives, experiments, and launches
- Establish the standard for future hires through your documentation, component patterns, asset specs, and creative workflow
YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU
- Have shipped polished, customer-facing web experiences and can point to real work in production
- Are fluent in both design and frontend implementation, and you prefer eliminating handoffs by owning the whole loop
- Care deeply about craft details, including typography, spacing, responsiveness, motion, and interaction feel
- Can prototype quickly, validate with real feedback, and iterate without losing coherence or quality
- Use AI tools effectively to speed up coding and creative production, and you can critique and refine outputs rather than accepting them as-is
- Are product-minded and narrative-driven, and you ask what the user needs to understand, feel, and do next
- Prefer in-person collaboration and fast decision cycles
BONUS POINTS
- Experience building or extending a design system in code
- Comfort with animation and micro-interactions, including motion guidelines and implementation
- Strong writing and editorial taste for landing page messaging and information architecture
- Experience producing brand assets using generative image and video workflows while keeping results consistent and on-brand
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
- Competitive salary + significant equity
- Flexible (Unlimited) Paid Time Off
- Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits for you and your family
- Fancy lunches, plus snacks, coffee, or boba
- Relocation support to NYC if needed
