About the Role

Cypress is building a generational company to enable the future of ownership by creating a platform that continuously models businesses as they run, constructing a living representation that agents can act on and owners can collaborate with. This changes who can own a business, how those businesses are operated, and how far they can go. We are seeking an extraordinary designer to own the entire surface area of how owners interact with our system, transforming dense event streams and simulations into beautiful, clear, and immediately useful views.

Responsibilities

Define the visual language and patterns of interaction for an AI-native product from square one
Design and build owner-facing views that make complex business operations legible and actionable
Create the information design layer between our intelligence engine and the owners it serves
Ship production code in a modern frontend stack
Establish the taste bar for everything the user touches

Requirements

Significant product design experience at organizations where craft and tempo are taken seriously
A portfolio that reveals clear thinking about the underlying problem, not just beautifully arranged pixels
Fluency shipping in a modern frontend stack, and a desire to learn new technologies as needed
Systems thinking. You reason about state, sequence, and context, not just layout
Genuine interest in how AI rewrites the rules of interfaces
High agency. You identify the right problem, propose a direction, and build it

About the Company

Cypress collapses the distance between business reality and understanding.
We are building a generational company to enable the future of ownership.
Our platform continuously models a business as it runs, constructing a living representation that agents can act on and owners can collaborate with.
Cypress Labs is backed by top-tier venture capital and a roster of angel investors with operational expertise.
Founded by Spencer Wilson (MIT, Marshall Scholar, UCL neuroscience PhD, previously Ctrl-Labs and Trisk Bio) and Josh Hone (first commercial hire at bootstrapped Quorum, COO at venture-backed Column).
Design engineers almost never get founding-team equity.
Most join after the product language is already written.
Cypress is an opportunity to invent new modes of interaction for intelligent systems before the conventions are set.
Our team will stay small, and our ambitions will stay big.
We aim for a high revenue-to-headcount ratio and a high-trust, high-ownership culture.
Both co-founders are strong writers and thought partners who care deeply about design and about our customers.
What we need is the ability to rapidly execute and iterate on visual design at the level our products demand.
You'll be the key creative partner we're building with.
Backed by a top-tier venture firm and an angel roster of experienced operators.
Product is already working with early design partners.
