# MTS - Founding Designer

About Aside We’re building Aside, the most intelligent AI browser that handles everyday complex work. Our vision is the agentic operating system for personal workflows, built on a crafted browser user experience. After our viral launch in June 2026, we got 3M+ views, 20K+ users within two weeks. We’re backed by Y Combinator and angels such as Dane Knecht (Cloudflare). The Context Aside is software people live in every day, so design is core to the product, not a layer added at the end. Our challenge is to combine familiar browser interactions with a new kind of AI assistant experience without making either feel bolted on. We’re looking for our first founding designer to define this system end to end, from the first prototype to the last pixel. What you can expect to work on Rethink the browser interface for AI. Combine 30 years of familiar browser conventions with entirely new AI capabilities, while making the product feel native to both macOS and Windows. Design a new interface for agents. Chat alone is not the answer. You’ll define generated interfaces, controls, progress states, review, and recovery for work ranging from cross-tool research and document creation to personalized
