Tilt)\nAgora Intelligence is building the audited methodology layer agents call before touching portfolios. Our product, Tilt, is GitHub for rules-based investment methodologies: an open platform and marketplace where investment strategies are created, tested, audited, and distributed - by humans and AI agents alike. As AI agents begin managing real portfolios, they need a trusted source of verified investment logic before they can act. Tilt is that source.\nWe operate across two connected surfaces: InvestOS, an open standard that lets any brokerage or platform plug verified methodology into its own AI experience; and Tilt, the reference implementation of InvestOS. Tilt is an agentic harness where investors, portfolio managers, and creators can author, remix, and publish strategies. We're a small, senior team (from BlackRock, Bloomberg, BGI, and Quant Funds) backed by Portage Ventures, Lerer Hippeau, Cumberland Investments (and more), working with major brokerages and financial data providers.\nWhat We're Building\nInvestOS - an open standard for rules-based methodologies and its reference implementation.\nWe believe any idea - a theme, a trend, a thesis - can be turned into an investable view. On Tilt, anyone can express a view as a rules-based basket of assets in seconds, backed by evidence and scored against what actually happens. Whether you're modeling a thematic strategy, tracking an emerging technology, or capturing the public-market footprint of a private company, what used to take an index committee months now takes an API call - 100× faster, at a fraction of the cost. We also transform views found on the open web, into rules-based strategies. This lets us measure the performance of any opinion or prediction about the future. The unit is a tilt: a creator-authored view of the world.\nThe bigger bet: as AI agents take on more of investing, they'll need an open, trusted standard for how investment views are expressed, verified, and combined. When anyone can generate a strategy in seconds, the strategies aren't the asset. The system that versions, tests, and grades them is. We're building that standard - and the platform where those views are made. We’re also building the learning loops for when views resolve against reality, as measured by markets.\nWho We Are\nWe're a team of ~25 senior-to-principal engineers, designers and AI/ML researchers. More than half the team are former founders. We move fast, challenge assumptions, and believe AI should fundamentally change how financial products are built. We have no management hierarchy and work remotely with 4 one-week hackathons per year. “Full stack” to us means you own a slice of the product, including its roadmap and go-to-market.\nThe Opportunity\nCreating an investable index from a conversation with AI isn't a traditional design problem. Users aren't filling out forms or clicking through dashboards-they're collaborating with an intelligent system to express a thesis, understand how it's constructed, and iterate on it over time.\nWe're looking for a Principal Product Designer who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys solving complex interaction problems, and wants to define what AI-native investing feels like.\nYou'll work directly with the founders and engineering team to shape both the product and the company. This isn't a role where you'll be handed requirements. You'll help identify opportunities, influence product direction, and set the standard for design across Tilt.\nWhat You'll Do\nLead the end-to-end design of new product experiences, from early concepts and user journeys through polished interfaces and launch.\nPartner closely with founders, product, engineering, and research to define what we build-not just how it looks.\nDesign AI-native workflows that make complex financial concepts intuitive and approachable.\nRapidly prototype ideas, validate assumptions, and iterate using customer feedback, analytics, and experimentation.\nSimplify sophisticated workflows into experiences that feel fast, clear, and effortless.\nHelp establish and evolve Tilt's design system while maintaining a high bar for craft and consistency.\nRaise the quality of product thinking across the company by contributing to product strategy, user research, and design reviews.\nUse AI throughout your design process to explore concepts, accelerate iteration, and improve execution.\nWho You Are\nYou have significant experience designing and shipping digital products with measurable customer impact.\nYou're an exceptional systems thinker who can move comfortably between product strategy and interface design.\nYou enjoy turning ambiguous problems into elegant, intuitive experiences.\nYou have a strong foundation in interaction design, information architecture, visual design, and prototyping.\nYou're comfortable presenting ideas, challenging assumptions, and defending design decisions with evidence.\nYou collaborate exceptionally well with engineers and enjoy working through technical constraints together.\nYou care deeply about craft but know when speed matters more than perfection.\nYou're excited about AI and actively use it to improve your workflow.\nWhat Sets You Apart\nExperience designing AI-native products or developer tools.\nExperience in fintech, investing, enterprise software, or other technically sophisticated products.\nA portfolio demonstrating exceptional product thinking, interaction design, and visual craft.\nExperience working at an early-stage startup where you've helped define the product-not just design it.\nYou've built or significantly contributed to a scalable design system.\nYou're naturally curious and enjoy learning new domains, technologies, and ways of working.\nWhat We Offer\nDirect partnership with the founders and a team where more than half are former founders.\nVery competitive compensation and meaningful equity.\nComprehensive health and dental benefits.\nA remote-first, flexible work environment.\nThe opportunity to help define the company creating a new category in capital markets.\nHow to Apply\nApply through Bookface and include:\nA link to your portfolio.\nA short note about a product you've designed that you're most proud of, including the problem you solved and your role in the outcome.\nA few sentences on why you're interested in Tilt.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6305,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":11,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible
