And almost all of it gets lost.\nPocket fixes that. It's a tiny device with three mics and one button. Press it, talk, and by the time you're done there's a transcript, a summary, and your to-dos waiting on your phone. Snap it to the back of your phone and it captures both sides of a call.\nPeople love it, and it's taking off:\n400,000 devices shipped\n\nOn track for 1 million users by the end of the year\n\n35 people, live across the US and now Europe\n\nWe're growing faster than our design can keep up with. That's where you come in.\nYou own everything a customer touches\nNot a feature or a single flow. Everything:\nThe mobile app, where people relive every conversation seconds after it ends.\n\nThe desktop app, where people search their memory and get real work done.\n\nThe web app, so Pocket is available anywhere.\n\nThe website, where people fall in love with Pocket and buy one.\n\nThe device itself: pairing, recording, and that one button. Hardware and software that feel like a single product.\n\nWho you'll work with\nYou'll work directly with Akshay, our CEO, who is a designer himself, and with our founding product designer. That means a CEO who cares about kerning as much as conversion, and a design partner who has shaped Pocket from day one. No layers, no handoffs, no design-by-committee. You'll take ideas from a rough sketch to a working prototype to production in days, not quarters.\nThe mission: make Pocket the most beautiful and most loved AI product in the world.\nThe problems are wide open\nThe design patterns for AI memory don't exist yet. You'll invent them.\nHow should it feel to search everything you've ever said?\n\nHow does an AI earn your trust when it's listening to your real life?\n\nWhat does a great summary look like when the model is only 95% sure?\n\nHow should proactive assistance show up without getting creepy?\n\nYou'll design for streaming, uncertainty, and mistakes, and for the moments people need to check, correct, or take control. Privacy and trust are part of the product, not an afterthought.\nYou design with AI, not just for it\nIf your workflow looks the same as it did two years ago, this isn't the role for you.\nYou live in Paper, Figma Make, v0, Cursor, and Claude Code. You prototype in real code with real data, because an AI product has to be felt to be judged. A static mockup of a summary is not a summary.\nYou go wild when exploring and obsessive when polishing. And when a fix is faster to ship yourself, you open the code editor and ship it.\nYou're probably a fit if\nYour taste is undeniable. Your portfolio makes people stop scrolling, and you know the last 10% is where the magic happens.\n\nYou're a builder first. Your instinct is \"let me build it and see how it feels,\" not \"let me write a deck.\"\n\nAI is how you already work, and you have strong, specific opinions about which AI products feel great and which feel broken.\n\nYou move fast and care deeply. Scrappy when exploring, meticulous when shipping.\n\nYou take extreme ownership. You spot what's broken and fix it without waiting for a ticket.\n\nYou think across platforms and know what makes something feel native on iOS, desktop, and the web.\n\nYou argue for your ideas and change your mind when the evidence says so.\n\nBonus points if you've shipped a consumer product people love, built something 0 to 1, designed for hardware, or have serious motion or front-end skills.\nWhy this is the best design job in AI right now\nInstant impact. Your work reaches hundreds of thousands of real people the day it ships.\n\nA design-led company. Your CEO is a designer, so design has a real seat at the table.\n\nTotal ownership. Every surface, from a physical device to the website, is yours to shape.\n\nUncharted territory. You'll define how humans and AI share memory.\n\nAtoms and pixels. Very few design roles let you shape both hardware and AI software.\n\nHypergrowth. We're going from 400K devices to 1M users this year, and your career moves at that speed too.\n\nShow us what you've got\nSkip the cover letter. Send us:\n2 or 3 shipped projects with what you owned, the hard calls you made, and what happened after launch.\n\nSomething you built with AI, like a code prototype or a Paper, v0, or Figma Make exploration. Tell us how you made it.\n\nOne thing you'd change about Pocket, and why.\n\nTitles and years matter less to us than what you've built. If this got your heart rate up, apply.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4504,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-25T22:14:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.856,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":230000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/pocket-product-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/pocket-product-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T22:56:00Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14772,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2237730},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2237730"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpocket-product-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpocket-product-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpocket-product-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/pocket-product-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpocket-product-designer"}]}
