Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Leorna is an early-stage startup building a centralized big-data platform that gives AI agents persistent, long-term 'forever' memory. They are seeking a founding design engineer who will use AI to design and ship beautiful, working applications at startup speed.

Responsibilities

• Design and build product UI end to end, from concept and wireframes to production frontend
• Use AI-native tools (Claude, Claude Design, v0, Figma, Cursor, and similar) to go from idea to working app in hours, not weeks
• Own the frontend stack and the design system, and keep it fast, clean, and consistent
• Partner directly with the founder and engineering on product direction
• Prototype, test, and iterate quickly based on real user feedback

Skills

• Strong product and UI design sense AND solid frontend engineering (React/TypeScript or similar)
• Fluent with AI design-and-build tools, and you already build with them every day
• A portfolio of shipped, polished interfaces you both designed and coded
• Startup mindset: fast, scrappy, high ownership, comfortable with ambiguity
• You currently hold an active premium AI subscription of at least $200/month (for example Claude Max, ChatGPT Pro, or equivalent) and use it daily
• This is an equity-only role in the early stage, with cash compensation added after we close funding

Benefits

• Real ownership and meaningful equity
• Remote-first, async-friendly, ship-fast culture
