Our team tackles some of the hardest creative and technical challenges in generative media.\nWe get to rethink how people collaborate with AI that can actually do creative work with them-defining entirely new interaction paradigms for AI-native video tools. We make that possible by building multimodal agents that turn creative direction into edits, rendering engines that composite multiple layers of video and graphics, and generative video models trained from the ground up that create new media when needed.\nAll of this comes together in Captions, our creative workspace for generating, editing, and designing video. The technology behind Captions is now available more broadly: Tesseract gives any AI agent native video-editing capabilities, while developers can integrate our models into their own products through APIs.\nExplore our work\nCaptions - Our flagship creative workspace \nTesseract - Our professional video engine for AI agents \nResearch - The foundation models we build in-house \nUpdates - The latest from Mirage \nTechCrunch, Forbes, Fast Company - Press\nOur Investors\nWe’re very fortunate to have some the best investors and entrepreneurs backing us, including Index Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Uncommon Projects, Kevin Systrom, Mike Krieger, Lenny Rachitsky, Antoine Martin, Julie Zhuo, Ben Rubin, Jaren Glover, SVAngel, 20VC, Ludlow Ventures, Chapter One, and more.\nPlease note that most of our roles will require you to be in-person at our NYC HQ (located in Union Square) \nAbout the Role\nWe’re looking for an experienced Product Designer to help shape the next generation of AI native video creation at Mirage. You’ll take on some of our most ambitious and complex product challenges, working closely with our executive, Product, and Engineering teams to define not just how our products look and feel, but how they fundamentally work.\nThis is a highly hands-on role with significant ownership, from identifying and framing the right problems to exploring new interaction paradigms, prototyping ideas, and shipping polished experiences to millions of creators. You’ll help turn rapidly evolving AI capabilities into intuitive, delightful products while establishing the systems and design patterns that allow us to move quickly without sacrificing craft.\nAs a senior member of a small, highly collaborative design team, you’ll also help raise the bar for product thinking and design quality across Mirage through strong judgment, thoughtful critique, and hands-on execution.\nResponsibilities\nPartner closely with the executive and product teams to shape product vision, strategy, and long-term roadmap, influencing high-level business and product decisions.\n\nOwn complex, cross-functional product initiatives from concept through launch, driving design strategy and execution across multiple workstreams.\n\nTranslate ambiguous business and user problems into clear, actionable design frameworks, user journeys, and high-fidelity prototypes.\n\nLead and elevate product thinking across the organization by articulating clear design rationale grounded in user insights, data, and business objectives.\n\nDrive and synthesize qualitative and quantitative research to inform product direction, identify opportunity areas, and validate solutions.\n\nEstablish, scale, and evolve a robust design system to ensure cohesion, quality, and efficiency across all product surfaces.\n\nProvide mentorship and design leadership through thoughtful critique, feedback, and guidance to other designers and cross-functional partners.\n\nChampion user-centric decision-making at every stage of the product lifecycle while balancing technical constraints and business priorities.\n\nProactively identify opportunities to improve product experience, workflows, and internal processes.\n\nStay ahead of emerging design patterns, technologies, and industry trends, bringing forward-thinking ideas into the product organization.\n\nRequirements\n6+ years of experience in product design, with demonstrated ownership of complex, consumer-facing digital products (mobile and/or desktop).\n\nProven track record leading end-to-end design initiatives from strategy through launch, with measurable impact.\n\nStrong systems thinker with experience building or scaling design systems.\n\nPortfolio demonstrating strategic problem framing, high-quality execution, and shipped work.\n\nDeep proficiency in modern design and prototyping tools\n\nExperience influencing and collaborating with cross-functional partners, including product, engineering, and executive stakeholders.\n\nAbility to thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and drive clarity.\n\nStrong communication skills and a solid understanding of technical constraints and trade-offs.\n\nBenefits:\nComprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans\n\n401K with employer match\n\nCommuter Benefits\n\nCatered lunch multiple days per week\n\nDinner stipend every night if you're working late and want a bite!\n\nGrubhub subscription\n\nHealth & Wellness Perks\n\nMultiple
