Senior Product Designer

About Us

At Tavus, we're building the human layer of AI. Our mission is to make human-AI interaction as natural as face-to-face interaction, enabling the human touch where it has been previously unscalable. We achieve this through pioneering research in multi-modal AI models for human perception and understanding, combined with state-of-the-art human avatar rendering and communication models. Our models power everything from text-to-video AI avatars to real-time conversational video experiences across industries like healthcare, recruiting, sales, education, and more. By enabling AI to see, hear, and communicate with human-like authenticity, we're creating the foundation for the next generation of AI employees, assistants, and companions.

We're a Series A company backed by top investors, including Sequoia, Y Combinator, and Scale VC. Join us in driving the future of human-AI interaction. Check it out for yourself

The Role

We are seeking a talented, passionate, and initiative-taking AI Product Designer to join our team. Initially, you'll lead the design of our developer portal, which today primarily serves highly technical users. However, this role extends far beyond the portal - you will play a crucial role in shaping the future of human-computer interaction, enabling users to create meaningful AI-first products such as digital employees, caretakers, and more, emphasizing authentic human connections and interactions.

You will collaborate with a diverse team in a fast-paced environment, contributing to all stages of the design process, from concept to implementation, to bring novel interactive experiences to life.

Join our small, creative team of designers, engineers, and product enthusiasts dedicated to thoughtfully bridging the human-machine divide.

This role is based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

What You'll Do

• Lead the design of key products, starting with our developer portal and expanding into an innovative builder experience.
• Craft intuitive interfaces and engaging user experiences that resonate with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Develop sketches, interactive prototypes, and polished designs to help users realize their AI-powered visions.
• Continuously refine user journeys and interactions, ensuring clarity, usability, and delightful experiences.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to explore and implement innovative solutions that redefine human-computer interaction.

Who You Are

• You have 4+ years of experience designing digital products, with a compelling portfolio showcasing thoughtful builder interactions.
• You're relentlessly passionate about human-computer interaction, driven by enabling meaningful human connections through technology.
• You have strong visual design, interaction design, and prototyping skills (Figma, HTML/CSS, etc.).
• You excel at distilling complexity into intuitive, elegant solutions.
• A self-starter with an owner mindset, you thrive in an early-stage startup environment with a lot of ambiguity and resource constraints.
