Founding Product Designer

We're building the AI platform for underserved industries.

LLM usage has seen a meteoric rise in the past year, but there is still a significant gap between agentic innovation and its use in the real world. This is especially true for underserved industries like automotive and healthcare, where outdated systems persist due to barriers to entry, legacy software, and high-stakes consequences of hallucinations and failure.

Here at Toma (YC W24), we are bridging this gap by providing a customer-centric platform to deploy and monitor AI agents, even for non-technical users. We recently raised a $17M Series A from a16z and are building the future of human-AI interactions, starting in the automotive industry.

Our Team

We're assembling a team of Avengers : engineers, product managers, former founders, athletes, and leaders from Scale AI, Uber, Braze, Microsoft, Amazon, and more. We consider everyone regardless of their backgrounds or identities. Learn more about us here. This role is in-person in our SF office, 5 days a week.

About this Role

We're looking for a Founding Product Designer who can set the design vision, lead execution, and build the entire design function from scratch. This is a rare opportunity to own end-to-end product design in a fast-moving, high-impact startup.

You'll collaborate directly with the CTO, engineers, and customers to craft a category-defining product. From Figma explorations to polished interfaces, from design systems to brand storytelling... You will set the standard for what design means at Toma.

What you will do

• Own the product design lifecycle : research, wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity UI, and production-ready assets.
• Stand up our design system in Figma and establish best practices for scale.
• Shape user journeys end-to-end, from first-touch onboarding to power-user workflows.
• Define and champion design culture, processes, and tools across the company.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product and engineering to ship beautiful, intuitive features quickly.
• Evolve our brand identity and visual language alongside product design.
• Recruit and mentor future designers as the team grows.
