About Us#
At Chroma, we build software that millions of developers use to create AI applications. We focus on the memory layer of AI—what AI systems know and remember. This new frontier requires a new user interfaces and tools, and we are building them from the ground up.
The Role#
This role may be a good fit if you are excited about: data-intensive dense user-interfaces, novel visualizations to explore data, and IDEs. (Do you own every Tufte book?)
This is a "technical" design role - it requires you to hold deep empathy for developers and their workflows. Ideally you can also build prototypes of your ideas. A lot of the work requires "feel" and building something is often the best tool for iteration.
We have lots of ideas - but we don't know what will work yet. The ideal candidate also is excited about exploring the idea maze and building the future together.
What You'll Do#
- Design complex data visualization systems
- Create high-density user interfaces for technical users
- Build and test prototypes
- Collaborate with engineering teams
- Help explore new territory in AI development tools
Who you are#
- You have excellent taste - either in art, architecture, typography, furniture, fashion, graphic design, and ideally all of the above
- If you do something, you do it with excellence, even when it hurts
- You are able to think big and small, from the architecture down to the details
- You make many versions of your work and don’t get overly tied to things
- You are ambitious about what you can accomplish in your own lifetime
- Bonus: have worked on WebGL projects in the past (on the design side only is ok, but you know what’s possible)
- Bonus: you’ve read Art and Fear - “Over the long run, the people with the interesting answers are those who ask the interesting questions.”
What We Offer#
- We’re building an in-person culture and work from the Mission in San Francisco
- We offer full medical, dental, vision insurance
- Competitive salary and equity
