Ando is a messaging platform where AI agents can take on work alongside human. We’re rebuilding Slack from the ground up around two core ideas: durable memory and agents as first-class participants.

While we are pushing the frontier, we still have classic messaging challenges to address. Ando has to feel faster, lighter, and more delightful than the tools people use today. The bar is high. People need to want to spend hours of their working lives in Ando, and then convince their teammates and friends to do the same.

We’re looking for product designers who are excited by that challenge and want to build something that'll touch millions of humans and agents.

About our brand & visual identity

  • Architecture is a form of art people are compelled to experience simply by living in a city. Slack and team messaging are similarly inevitable surfaces in our daily digital lives. Our goal is to build a digital platform where people feel at ease spending much of their day.

  • This company is named after Tadao Ando, a Japanese architect known for blending brutalism with light and glass. His work also captures a sense of peaceful silence (something we hope to achieve and use to differentiate from Slack), and his buildings often house Turrells, Kusamas, and more. All of this inspires the visual elements of our platform: minimal, unobtrusive product design that lets us focus on the layers on top, such as the rhythm of messaging, sounds, etc.

What you’ll do:

  • Do a lot of reference-gathering, contribute to the buildout of our core UI / UX, mature our design system, write code, use the latest and best in design tooling, and most importantly, dogfood our product every day

  • Review user analytics and observe what users do, vs just what they say. Then iterate quickly on designs

  • Keep raising our bar for craft and help us make Ando a product people love

Qualifications

  • Strong portfolio, with experience designing around LLM quirks and functionality

  • Recent experience coding with agents

  • Bonus points if you love prompt engineering

Benefits

  • Free Equinox membership & other health perks

  • Generous equity grant vested over 4 years

  • Health, dental, vision insurance
