Our Mission
About the role

You will lead design for Grit, working closely with the founder and other engineers to conceptualize interfaces for programming the future. Your work will answer questions like:
When most code is machine-generated, what do new developer interfaces look like?How do we teach developers a new way of programming?What is the most effective way to educate the next generation of developers in an ML-first world?How can program graphs be represented with less complexity, allowing rapid comprehension?What parts of the developer experience should still be artisanal when software is built at industrial scale?Your work will consist of building interactive prototypes, including designing new concepts from scratch and implementing your ideas with code. Yes, we know that’s rare—since this is a developer product, we find developers have the best intuitions for how to design it.
