The Opportunity

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

• Experience designing consumer-facing products, mobile-first
• 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.
