Senior Product Designer
Creative People, San Francisco, CA, United States
We’re partnering with an early-stage AI startup building a new category of mental health support.
Their mission is simple but ambitious: put a therapist in everyone’s pocket.
The team recently completed the largest clinical trial ever run on an AI therapist, demonstrating outcomes comparable to human therapy and stronger results than existing digital mental health tools. Built by experienced AI researchers and guided by leading clinical advisors, the company sits at the intersection of cutting‑edge AI research and real‑world healthcare impact.
After completing Y Combinator, the team is now entering the next phase: turning a powerful research prototype into a product people use every day.
The Mission
Mental health support is often unavailable when people need it most.
This company is building a voice‑first AI therapist designed to support people in real time - including moments outside traditional therapy hours. The platform combines conversational AI, clinical research, and human‑in‑the‑loop safety systems to create a new kind of mental health experience.
But the interface for this category doesn’t exist yet. This role is about helping invent what interacting with an AI therapist should feel like - designing an experience people trust, build relationships with, and return to regularly.
The Role
Design the core mobile experience for a voice‑first AI product
Explore new voice and conversational interface patterns
Turn a research prototype into a high‑engagement consumer product
Own design across product, brand, and early design systems
Work closely with founders, AI researchers, and clinicians
Help define how trust and safety show up in the product experience
What They’re Looking For
Strong 0→1 product design experience or early‑stage startup exposure
Ability to take ownership and operate independently
Excellent product taste and visual craft
Interest in designing new interaction models around AI and conversation
Curiosity about mental health, behavioral design, or human–AI interaction
If you’re excited about designing products that combine AI, psychology, and human trust, this is a rare opportunity to shape an entirely new kind of experience.
