# Founding Design Engineer

About Us: We're on a mission to make subscriber churn a solved problem. Backed by a16z Speedrun, we build AI agents that help consumer subscription brands - like Higgsfield and Promova - retain more users, extend lifetime value, and grow fast. We're an incredibly driven team working on a problem that affects every consumer on the planet. If that sounds like your kind of thing, we'd love to meet you. Our co-founders are Azamat Khamidov and Benazir Toleubekova. Azamat built a Telegram AI product from zero to five million users in four months, the first acquisition inside Telegram. Benazir received a full scholarship to Beijing University of Technology at 15. Joined Taobao at 17. At Alibaba, architected the core recommendation engine serving 500M daily users. What You'll Do: This is the first design hire at Sirius, and we're looking for an engineer first - someone who ships production UI themselves and treats design as their specialty within that, not a separate discipline handed off to someone else. You'll set the visual and interaction language for everything we build, and then you'll write the TypeScript that makes it real. You'll be working on a product that touches real revenue f
