What are the responsibilities and job description for the Design Engineer position at Monogram?
About
Monogram is the first visual interface for AI.
Our brains are wired for vision. Half of our neural horsepower is dedicated to visual input. Evolution didn't train us to parse bullet points—it trained us to spot tigers in the bushes. That's why we process visuals 60,000 times faster than text and that’s why we are building Monogram, a visual user interface for AI.
Monogram is the first platform that lets LLMs control the entire user experience. By combining voice with UI generated on the fly, we create an experience that’s far more powerful and engaging than a chatbot. We believe this paradigm will redefine how software is built.
This user experience is consistent, as if a single designer crafted entire flows, hundreds of thousands of different interfaces, just for you, just for what you are trying to do at a moment in time, "on the fly", in just 1 or 2 seconds.
We're a deeply technical team of engineers and designers, tucked away in San Mateo, obsessively shaping the next interface for AI. Backed by top-tier investors behind category-defining companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Airbnb, Robinhood, Stripe, DoorDash, Shopify, and Slack.
We're building a consumer app powered by this new technology stack. To do this, we're looking for the best Design Engineers in the world.
What You’ll Work On
You will work on what makes Monogram's User Interface feel so special:
