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 raised a Series B funding round in 2024 and just launched the beta of our next flagship AI model, EVI 3, a foundational speech-language model that drives an empathic AI assistant for any application.

Our models understand subtle tones of voice, word emphasis, facial expression, and more, along with the reactions of listeners. EVI 3 uses the same intelligence to handle transcription, language, and speech, understands and responds with the expressive, emotionally intelligent voice in real time - using any voice and personality you create with a prompt. It is rated higher than GPT-4o on empathy, expressiveness, naturalness, and speed, instantly speaks with 100K+ unique voices and styles, streams language, emotion, and reasoning - all at once, and is fast enough to feel truly conversational (<300ms latency). Try it at demo.hume.ai

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 WIRED, Forbes, and Venturebeat.

  • Assist our Head of Design in executing on 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.
