About the Role
SageOx is defining a new category of AI-powered tools for software and product teams. As the Design Leader, you will have ultimate responsibility for making every interaction with our product intuitive and effective, shaping both the product's user experience and the future of design in the AI era. This role requires broad thinking across design and product, with industry-defining strength in at least one area, and the ability to build the systems and guidance that enable others to make good design choices.
Responsibilities
- Make the product wow by bringing it to life so customers feel its power with clarity and ease.
- Build the machinery of design by creating harnesses, tooling, and guidance for humans and agents.
- Define what design means in the AI era, including how we talk about it, storytelling, and attracting designers.
- Shape the product, including Ox Console, Ox Desktop and Mobile apps, and onboarding for multi-person teams.
- Develop the design system: components, tokens, and guidance for humans and coding agents.
- Improve agent experience: how agents discover and experience SageOx.
- Enhance SageOx in the real world: Ox Dot packaging, unboxing, onboarding, gadgets, and the meeting-room experience.
- Develop the brand: visual brand language and the brand system for features and products.
- Create marketing materials: website, social media visuals, and event marketing.
- Work closely with founders to translate their vision into a strong visual experience.
- Build out and manage the Design team over time.
- Own design by building the system: harnesses, rules, design systems, and approaches.
- Ensure design decisions made by engineers, marketers, founders, and agents are good.
- Ship to production yourself from week one, including designs and code.
- Make SageOx tangible in the real world, from packaging to the first day in the room.
- Build self-serve design tooling, such as agent skills.
- Champion designers who use SageOx.
- Run small design experiments against real usage with explicit keep or kill decisions.
- Prototype interaction patterns for human-agent teams.
- Use AI tools hands-on every day and use SageOx to run your own design work.
- Lead or observe design-partner sessions, analyze customer data, and watch teams use SageOx.
- Map where people get lost, lose trust in agents, or light up.
- Stay plugged into AI and design trends.
- Raise the bar by pushing the thinking and ambition of the team and founders with prototypes.
- Connect with startups and advocate for SageOx.
- Be a voice in the industry on how design is changing in the AI era.
- Tell the story of design at SageOx to attract great designers.
Requirements
- Mission alignment: desire to help turn humans and agents into high-performing teams.
- Daily, hands-on AI fluency: design and build with agents now.
- Strong, opinionated taste and the courage to challenge founders.
- Industry reputation as a respected designer with rock-star depth in at least one area and range across others.
- A builder and collaborator who ships to production and works side-by-side with engineers, founders, and agents.
- Deep connections to the local startup ecosystem and emerging practices of design in AI-pilled teams.
- A track record of leading design at a high-bar product team, including building the system around design.
- Work that shows how design changed a product.
- Comfort spanning digital and physical products, or the curiosity to learn fast.
- Driven by curiosity, courageous in experimenting, and humble in success.

About the Company
- SageOx's mission is to turn humans and agents into high-performing teams.
- We build shared memory and tools for software and product teams that build through AI coding agents.
- We are defining a new category, and a new category has no visual or interaction vocabulary to inherit.
- When execution is cheap, the quality of the product, its taste, its thoughtfulness, and its ability to direct human attention to what matters most are what create trust and make people come back.
- SageOx lets everyone ship to production independently.
- The future of UX is likely deeply personalized.
- Foundation model builders are investing heavily in distilling taste into models.
- We're betting that within 12 months, foundation or specialized models will often have better taste in writing, design, art and music than many of the most accomplished people in those fields.
- As a leader at the very edge of a rapidly changing field, you should be prepared for, and excited by, tremendous change.
- The ground will shift under your feet constantly, and you'll give up significant control in exchange for achieving what was impossible before.
