What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Designer position at Kalos?
Company Description
Kalos is an early stage, high-growth startup based in San Francisco, CA. We built Blue – an AI Agent that is the world's best performance marketer. Blue works 24/7 to build and optimize ad campaigns to help our customers grow faster.
We are 5 people, and you'd be #6 on the team.
Our early customers include well-known Silicon Valley tech companies, including multiple unicorns. We have more demand than we've been able to service. We're hiring on many fronts and it's time to go faster.
Role Description
As our first designer, you’ll define how modern B2B marketing tools should look, feel, and work — from product UX to visual identity. You'll have an important voice in our brand design, product direction, and vision.
This is a full-time Product Design role. The current team is in San Francisco, and this role is in person at Kalos HQ.
We work hard and we know we're building a generational company. If you're looking for the ride of a lifetime, this might just be what you're looking for.
