Hume AI
Senior/Staff Product Designer
Hume AI, San Jose, California, United States, 95199
Hume AI is seeking an experienced product designer to join our team and help design the future of AI interfaces. You will help craft a cross-platform consumer interface for our model, an AI voice that is superhumanly helpful, interesting, funny, and empathic. Join us in the heart of New York City and contribute to our endeavor to ensure that AI is guided by human values, the most pivotal challenge (and opportunity) of the 21st century.
About Us
Hume AI is dedicated to building artificial intelligence that is directly optimized for human well-being. We have just raised a Series B funding round and are working on the next generation of our flagship product, a foundational audio-language model that drives an empathic AI assistant for any application.
Our model understands subtle tones of voice, word emphasis, facial expression, and more, along with the reactions of listeners. These behaviors reveal our preferences-whether we find things interesting or boring; satisfying or frustrating; funny, eloquent, or dubious. We call learning from these signals "reinforcement learning from human expression" (RLHE). AI models trained with RLHE can serve as better question answerers, copywriters, tutors, call center agents, and more, even in text-only interfaces.
Our goal is to enable a future in which technology draws on an understanding of human emotional expression to better serve human goals. As part of our mission, we also conduct groundbreaking scientific research, publish in leading scientific journals like Nature, and support a non-profit, The Hume Initiative, that has released the first concrete ethical guidelines for empathic AI (www.thehumeinitiative.org). You can learn more about us on our website (https://hume.ai/) and read about us in Forbes, Axios, and The Washington Post.
In this role, you will:
Define a visual product and user experience.Create compelling user flows and visual designs.Work closely with AI researchers, engineers, and product managers to craft a simple, cross-platform application that enhances users' daily lives.Requirements
Interest in imagining the future of AI interfaces.3+ years of relevant design experience.Expertise in cross-platform applications and interactive experiences.Proficiency with modern design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite, prototyping tools).Familiarity with frontend libraries such as React.
Application Note
Please apply only to the position that best aligns with your qualifications. If you submit multiple applications or have applied within the past 6 months, only your initial submission will be considered.
Annual Salary
$130,000-$230,000 USD
