You won't get along with us
- If you only want to design in Figma
- If you prefer mockups over shipping
- If you skip quality to move fast
- If you need process to make progress
- If you don't want to do marketing
- If you want a short-term role
Why we need your help
Hyprnote is product-led. Design execution is our bottleneck - visual quality depends too much on the founder. We need someone to own design across product and marketing.
Small team. High trust. Craft over hype.
Curious about how we're doing?
We're also backed by Y Combinator, Pioneer, and TRAC, with participations from awesome angels like Tobi Lütke (Shopify), Zach Lloyd (Warp), Henri Stern (Privy), Thomas Wolf (Hugging Face), James Hawkins (PostHog), Dane Knecht (Cloudflare)... the list goes on.
What you'll be doing
Own visual quality across product, website, and marketing. Design and ship real UI. Create assets for launches and content. Build a design system that actually gets used.
Success: the product feels calmer + more solid, marketing doesn't wait on the founder, design decisions feel obvious.
Who we want to meet
A designer who codes and ships. Fast, independent, uncompromising on quality. Interested in marketing and storytelling. Prefers responsibility over rigid scope.
How we work
Remote-first. Async via 
Hyprnote on. Everything runs through
