Founding Designer
Product, Brand & Creative / Defining How Trayo Looks and Feels
About Us
We're a fast-moving, VC-backed startup building an AI-powered product for enterprise teams. We work at the intersection of data, automation, and user-facing workflows, helping customers make faster, higher-confidence decisions.
Our founding team brings rare depth across both scale and startup execution:
- Our CEO previously led multiple large-scale analytics services (hundreds of millions in ARR), owning P&L, product, and GTM, and helped scale a major product from early stage through IPO. Her background spans enterprise software, go-to-market strategy, and AI/ML-driven data platforms.
- Our CTO is a multi-time founder with successful acquisitions and deep technical leadership experience building developer products and business software used by millions of customers.
Why This Role is Special
Trayo is looking for a Founding Designer to own design across product, brand, and creative marketing. This is a rare role for someone who can be the company's main designer: shaping the product experience, defining the visual identity, and creating customer-facing assets that help us explain and build a new category.
You will define how Trayo looks, feels, and is experienced by customers. You'll work directly with the founders, product, engineering, and customers to shape both the product and the company's creative identity from the ground up.
What You'll Own
- Product design for AI-native enterprise workflows
- UI/UX for complex data, signals, accounts, stakeholders, and actions
- Brand identity, website, sales decks, and launch assets
- Creative marketing visuals for campaigns, social, and customer storytelling
- Design systems and patterns that help the product scale
What We're Looking For
- Strong product designer with excellent UI/UX taste
- Also strong in brand, visual design, and storytelling
- AI-native in how you work and create
- Comfortable turning ambiguity into clear, polished experiences
- Fast, hands-on, and excited by early-stage startup building
Bonus Points (not required)
- Experience with B2B SaaS, AI products, data products, or enterprise workflows
- Prior founding or 0→1 design experience
- Comfort moving between product surfaces and brand systems
What We Offer
- Competitive salary + meaningful equity
- Small team, high trust, real impact
- Hybrid flexibility; collaboration hub in San Mateo
