About The Position

Shared Context is building the backbone for how Personal AIs will learn about the world of humans, schedules, and social relationships. We envision a future powered by software that learns, is malleable to the user, and orchestrates resources to further user goals. Our experiments and products push the boundaries of how we interact with AI. We are funded by leading VCs and are a startup-in-residence at IDEO. We are looking for a Design Technologist to join us on this creative and industry-defining journey. You will work directly with the founders to shape product direction through making, prototyping, and shipping. You should be a hybrid designer-builder with strong product instinct, sharp taste, and a bias toward action. You can turn rough notions into fast, testable prototypes, build polished demos, and use code to explore new interactions and experiences. You should be excited by ambiguity and know how to learn quickly by making. We care deeply about design, UX, and human-centered thinking, and are looking for someone who wants to help raise the bar on craft, interaction, and feel.

Requirements
