Founding Design Engineer

Our mission at Credal is to harness frontier AI for everyone building a better future.

We accelerate the most complex, sophisticated operations of the most impactful institutions, while weaving security and governance into every part of our product. Our customers include the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services, MongoDB, Comcast NBC Universal, Lattice, Wise (Transferwise), Checkr, and incident.io among others.

We’ve raised over $10m to date with a ton of runway. You’ll join a team of Thoughtful Doers™ from places like Palantir, Cruise, Meta, Uber, and Google.

📍 Credal is in-person in our spacious NYC office with meals provided.

We're looking for the person who will define what design means at Credal. You'll be the first design hire and you'll own the function.

Credal sits on top of some of the most complex and important machinery in enterprise software: permission inheritance across a thousand data sources, agent registries, governance policy, audit lineage. And we're building it on the frontier of AI, where the conventions for how any of this should look and feel haven't been established yet; so there's real room to explore and define them across the industry. Our customers include some of the most important institutions in the world, and we're actively relied on every day by thousands of employees at customers like HHS, Flatiron Health, Comcast, and Wise.

Today, our engineering is ahead of our storytelling. The gap between what we've built and how clearly a user grasps it in the first thirty seconds is the single highest-leverage problem we can hand to one person. That's this role.

Translate company strategy and user needs into visual language. Concretely, that means product UI and user stories. You turn a go-to-market bet into something people immediately understand.

Own and evolve the design system. The rules, components, patterns, and principles that allow our engineering team to iterate quickly without sacrificing legibility.
