ABOUT SYNTHETIC
Full job description
ABOUT SYNTHETIC Building a software product has never been easier. But running the business side is still tedious as hell. From contracts, to billing, to getting paid, to keeping the books, Synthetic https://synthetic.ai handles the financial side of a software business from start to finish, so founders can get back to building. The software companies that we're selling to have intense accounting pain. They have a QuickBooks account, a Stripe account, and an unholy menagerie of spreadsheets and agent workflows holding it together. Instead of trying to throw an AI agent at broken software to try to fix it, we rebuilt all the software from the ground up. We rebuilt contracts, accounting, billing, invoicing, and payments. Then we wired up agents that do the busywork in between. The result is a tailor-made solution for software companies that "just works" out of the box. We can guarantee our customers that the numbers are correct, because we own every system that touches the numbers. And it looks visually stunning.

We recently raised $10M from investors like Khosla Ventures and Tobi Lütke. We're here to build a company that wins big, which is why we work in-person in our San Francisco office 6 days a week. But we care about winning, not larping, so we're flexible on hours. ABOUT THE ROLE We'll be launching the product soon. We're hiring a design engineer to join our 7 person team and own how Synthetic looks and feels everywhere. This is our second design hire, and you'll work alongside our first designer. You'll report directly to the founder. You can work from anywhere in the US, Canada, or Mexico. We bring everyone on site in San Francisco one week per month. This role spans brand, marketing, and product:
- Brand. Help define what Synthetic looks and sounds like, and keep it consistent everywhere it shows up.
- Marketing. Design and build our website, landing pages, and launch materials alongside our growth marketer.
- Product. Build and tweak features in TypeScript on SvelteKit, side by side with our engineers. We work fast. When you ship work it'll be in front of real customers within days or hours. JOB REQUIREMENTS
- Taste.
- You ship your own designs in HTML/CSS/TypeScript, not just Figma.
- Range. You have work across brand, marketing, and product you're proud to show off.
- A pragmatic approach to building fast at an early-stage company.
- A severe bullshit allergy. COMPENSATION
- $250K – $300K USD salary
- 0.7% – 1% fully diluted equity
- Health benefits (US only)
- This role requires work authorization in the US, Canada, or Mexico. We don't sponsor visas for this role. Check out our SF in-person role instead.
