Staff Design Engineer

At Tasklet, we’re building the cloud agent OS for work. Our product is redefining how knowledge workers interact with software — instead of switching between dozens of apps, our users work through a single AI agent that orchestrates everything. Our UI is minimal, chat-centric, and deceptively simple. When more UI is required, it is generated with AI on the fly. We believe we can be the main app that most knowledge workers use for everything.

We’re looking for a staff-level design engineer to own the entire design surface of Tasklet. You’ll be responsible for ensuring our product feels excellent, including keeping the UX simple & intuitive and making sure we get the details right. The ideal candidate is an AI-pilled IC who can do both the design & the bulk of the implementation work themselves.

This is a foundational leadership role with generous equity — we need someone truly world-class.

Compensation

• $260k → $350k salary
• 0.35% → 0.70% equity
• Competitive benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k, 4 weeks PTO, free lunch, etc)

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end design of Tasklet — navigation, discovery, visual design, and interaction patterns
• Make AI agent interactions feel simple and intuitive, even as the underlying system grows massively in power. You’ll need to define the visual language and interaction model for a new category of product — there is no playbook, you’ll write it.
• Build what you design. We need a designer who can ship production code, not someone who just hands off mockups.
• Get the details right & make Tasklet feel truly excellent. Raise our level of polish until we people rave about our design. Inspire the rest of the team to keep raising the bar too.

Our ideal candidate

• You’re a designer-engineer hybrid who ships production UI, not just Figma files
• Exceptional visual design taste and deep interaction design intuition
• You’ve designed complex products that feel simple — ideally for a product used by a lot of users
• Strong opinions about AI UX and how humans should interact with agents
• Strong enough engineering skills to implement most of your designs easily yourself
• You could easily get a design engineer role at a top AI lab — but you want the outsized impact of a startup, and you believe Tasklet can win
