Product Designer

Ando • San Francisco, CA

About The Position

We’re looking for a founding product designer who has strong visual instincts & a very very high attention to detail. What we're doing at Ando Teams are already building agents and using them across Slack, email, and other tools. But these platforms weren't designed for human-AI collaboration. The answer isn't a better Slack though; we're rethinking communications from the ground up to support better collaboration between humans and agents. About our brand & visual identity If architecture shapes how we live, then software shapes how we work. And the digital spaces we spend most of our working lives in are failing us. Tools like Slack were designed around messages, not meaning. The result is a torrent of pings, fragmented threads, and shallow context. Slack is an environment where people spend hours each day but rarely feel clarity or calm. Tadao Ando took concrete, a basic building material, and transformed it into spaces that elevate human experience. He stripped away noise to reveal what matters: light, space, and human connection. Similarly, we're taking everyday work communication and transforming it into a unified, calm platform where both humans and AI can do their best work. Visually, this translates to clean lines, neutral tones, and purposeful spacing. Every element has a reason for being where it is on the screen, and we endeavor to create a digital space that humans feel at ease when using day in and day out. We really care about our work and about using AI in our daily lives.
