ABOUT READ AI: At Read AI  [Upgrade to PRO to see link] redefining how teams collaborate by bringing intelligence to every conversation. Our platform supercharges productivity across meetings, messages, and email, so work gets done faster, smarter, and with better focus. We integrate seamlessly with tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack, and more, helping teams stay aligned and move forward, whether they’re in the same room or across time zones. Backed by $81 million in funding from Smash Capital, Madrona, and Goodwater Capital, Read AI is growing. If you're excited to shape the future of AI-powered collaboration and want to make an impact at a product-focused startup, we’d love to meet you. THE ROLE: We’re hiring a Product Designer to help shape the future of our AI-powered assistants and tools. You’ll work on two core areas: - Search Copilot — our AI-powered partner that helps users search, analyze, and transform information across meetings, Slack, email, and documents. - Ada — our emerging AI assistant and digital twin, you’re joining at the moment this product hits the market, and your job is to help make it succeed with real users. Today, these tools are technically powerful, but this role exists to turn them into intuitive, trusted, and deeply embedded parts of the Read experience. You’ll design how AI shows up across surfaces, how users interact with probabilistic systems, and how assistants become true workflow partners. This team moves fast. You’ll ship improvements, prototype new interaction patterns, and collaborate closely with Product, Data Science, and Engineering to push boundaries responsibly. WHAT YOU’LL DO: DESIGN AI-NATIVE EXPERIENCES - Improve and evolve Search Copilot into a core workflow tool, not just an entry point - Expand Ada beyond email into a more capable, embedded assistant - Design for probabilistic systems, balancing power, clarity, and trust - Shape how AI integrates across web and other touchpoints ELEVATE USABILITY & INTEGRATION - Simplify complex AI outputs into actionable experiences - Improve discoverability across product surfaces - Define micro-interactions that communicate confidence, uncertainty, and system state - Reduce friction in high-volume, content-heavy workflows STRENGTHEN CONTENT & COMMUNICATION: - Craft thoughtful microcopy for prompts, empty states, error states, and AI explanations - Design for clarity in ambiguous or uncertain outputs - Partner with PM and Engineering to define tone and behavior for assistant interactions PROTOTYPE & EXPERIMENT: - Rapidly prototype new AI interaction patterns - Explore different input modalities, including voice and conversational interfaces - Collaborate closely with Data Science to test, iterate, and refine experiences - Bring an experimental spirit that inspires the broader design team WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR: - 2–4 years of product design experience - Experience designing for AI-powered tools or intelligent systems - Strong interaction design and micro-interaction skills - Comfort designing for probabilistic systems and imperfect outputs - Content design strength—clear, concise, user-centered writing - Ability to prototype quickly and iterate in fast-moving environments - Strong collaboration skills across Product, Engineering, and Data Science - Comfort operating in ambiguity while shipping consistently in a faced-paced environment - You’re curious about how AI changes interaction models. - You’re comfortable experimenting. - You care about clarity in complex systems. WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS: AI tools often feel powerful but disconnected. This role ensures our assistants become intuitive, embedded, and genuinely helpful across the Read experience. You’ll help define how AI shows up in a real product used by millions—at a moment where the space is still forming. WHY READ AI? - Innovative: We're set to bring AI to the masses by introducing technology designed to improve every interaction. - Massive Impact: AI's greatest impact will be on the ability to allow people to do more, taking away mundane tasks and allowing them to focus on what matters the most. - Growth Opportunities: Read AI is the fastest growing AI-copilot and meeting notetaker in history, and is on pace to be one of the fastest growing consumer AI companies in the world, adding more than 1MM new customers every month. The company raised Series A and B in 2024, and was noted as a Top Company To Watch in 2025 by Inc Magazine. - Leadership: Learn more about CEO and Co-Founder David Shim in this Fortune Good Life profile [Upgrade to PRO to see link] from July 2025; CTO and Co-Founder Rob Williams was recently anointed as one of the most disruptive leaders in AI [Upgrade to PRO to see link] and Co-Founder and VP Data Science Elliott Waldron goes behind-the-scenes on our patents and models in this tech brief [Upgrade to PRO to see link] - Collaborative Culture: Work in a supportive and collaborative environment with a diverse and talented team.
