The Problem\nLack of connectivity is the most fundamental problem in the physical economy.\nThe physical economy runs on networks of interconnected companies, but on systems that were never designed to talk to each other. Every time two companies need to exchange data, someone builds a custom integration by hand: business analysts, integration engineers, QA. Manual, every time. (Google EDI if you haven't. It's wild.)\nA lot of companies have tried to fix this. Nobody has. We think AI agents are the way.\n02. What We're Building\nTemper is an agentic integration platform for the real economy. Specialized AI agents handle the full lifecycle: gathering requirements in plain English, generating integration code, testing, deploying, and keeping integrations alive in production. When something breaks, the agents fix it.\nWe have paying enterprise customers and real integrations running in production. There's more demand than we can keep up with.\nSeed-funded with over $8M raised. Earliest team of under 10.\n03. What You'd Design\nYou'd own two product surfaces.\nAgentic UX: the interface where people and coding agents build integrations together. Think conductor.build.\nPlatform UX: the mini-cloud our integrations run on. Think Vercel or Railway. Deploys, runtime, observability, logs.\nYou design it and you ship it. Design engineer means exactly that.\n04. The Founders\nDaniel (CPO) grew up in his family's trucking business. Built the freight product at Hive, Europe's leading eCom logistics startup, from 0 to $M. Hardware-native engineer who taught himself to code.\nHeinrich (CEO) ran 100+ person warehouse operations at Amazon, then consulted on system integrations at KPMG. Built Hive's largest revenue line from zero.\nNick (CTO) built Lilith at 16, led an offensive security program for a nation-state, entrepreneur for 8 years. In eCom, he led the tech that scaled a company from 0 to $100M in 3 years.\nDaniel and Heinrich built Hive from pre-seed to 400+ people. They've been living this problem for years.\n05. The Role\nYou'd be our founding designer, working directly with Daniel (CPO) and alongside some of the strongest engineers working in HCI and agent systems today.\nYou'll own design end-to-end across the agentic ADE, the platform, and the brand, and set the design language every future hire builds on. You're in the codebase, not handing off Figma files. We need your taste, not just your output.\n06. You Might Be a Fit If\nYou know the difference between fine and excellent, and you ship excellent.\n\nYou implement and ship production frontend yourself.\n\nYou've designed real B2B SaaS products: dense, technical ones.\n\nYou're plugged into agentic and HCI design. You know what good agent UX feels like.\n\nYou hold strong opinions and change them when the evidence says so.\n\nYou move independently.\n\nYou want to do the best work of your career.\n\nYou want a true early-stage, in-person experience in San Francisco: fast-paced, high intensity.x\n\n07. What We Offer\nTop-quartile compensation and meaningful equity\n\nTop-tier office in San Francisco\n\nM4 MacBook Pro and whatever else you need to move fast\n\nFull health coverage\n\n08. The Process\nScreen (20 min): Quick chat, mutual fit.\n\nDeep dive (45 min): Your career, what you've built, how you think.\n\nTechnical (60 min): Design a system with us. No leetcode.\n\nPaid work day: A real task from our backlog, in person.\n\nOffer: Under two weeks from first call to offer.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3435,"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":["Apple Macbook","Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Recruiting & Staffing","Freelance & Talent Marketplaces"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T09:03:12Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.248,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":103,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/temper-founding-product-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/temper-founding-product-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T23:41:18Z","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":9692,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"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":174356},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=174356"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftemper-founding-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%2Ftemper-founding-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%2Ftemper-founding-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/temper-founding-product-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftemper-founding-product-designer"}]}
