About The Position

TypeSafe is a frontier model lab building reliable and general AI systems for economically valuable automation. Their mission is to usher in a new era of Transformative Artificial Intelligence (TAI). They are rethinking the LLM stack from first principles to build a new kind of general frontier model designed for real-world reliability, decision-making, and autonomy in production. The team is small, fast-moving, and composed of individuals from OpenAI, Google Brain, and Meta/FAIR, backed by top-tier investors. Since mid-2024, they have been engineering the foundation for what comes after the current “state-of-the-art” — a model that actually gets things done. This role is for a product designer who thinks like an engineer, enjoys designing complex developer workflows, understands AI system behavior, and is comfortable prototyping in code. The designer will collaborate closely with engineers and researchers to shape the experience of building, testing, and operating their model in their console and other future product areas.

Familiarity and passion for LLMs and AI tooling – you vibe code to prototype, leverage gen AI products, and try out new AI tools frequently.
Comfort reading code, debugging, and collaborating closely with engineers.

Responsibilities

Design end-to-end UX for the developer platform, with a focus on improving the experience for new users.
Create interfaces that make complex AI workflows clear and approachable, whether that tooling is in evaluations, debugging, or observability.
Define the design language and influence the UX strategy for TypeSafe products.
Translate complex AI system behavior into clear, understandable UI.
Occasionally build prototypes or internal tools using modern LLM APIs.
