About Limitless 👋
At Limitless, our vision is to free the human mind from its biological limits. Limitless is a web app, Mac app, Windows app, and a wearable that records what you've seen, said, or heard and makes it useful. For example, if you’re in back-to-back meetings you don’t have time to take notes, track action items, and draft follow ups - Limitless automatically does all of this for you.
The product we have today is just the first step toward our audacious vision. We have raised over $33m from top-tier investors including Sam Altman, First Round Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and NEA to help make that vision a reality.

Privacy and transparency: How can we be most transparent with data we capture, how and when we capture it as well as provide as much user control over this data as possible?Accessing information: How can we best help people find what they’re looking for—via search or by asking with AI—in a way that gets out of your way and feels like an extension of your OS. Cohesiveness: How can we best design experiences unique to the platform and customer needs as we continue to expand to more platforms?What will be your responsibilities 📓

Strong experience collaborating closely with software engineers in a fast-paced environment on a consumer-facing interactive application. You know that designs aren’t finalized in Figma, they’re finalized in code and you devote enough time and attention to getting details right in the finished product. A strong sense of balancing craft and speed by understanding customer needs and business goals to deliver a cohesive, considered high-quality product. You know when to go the extra mile, and when to ship something today and learn quickly from customers.Deep understanding of systems design and platform conventions, but know when it makes sense to respect the system vs challenge it.Nice to have: Other creative experience such as icon design, illustration, 3D design, motion graphics, et cetera.What cultural values you need to embody 💥
✅ Decisive: Bias for action and learning.🧠 Resourceful: Prioritize well in order to maximize impact with the least effort.📈 Craft: Good judgement & consideration when deciding something is done enough.✋ Candor: Give candid feedback, receive it well, and speak up if you disagree.🗣️ Communication: Be transparent, create clarity out of ambiguity, and do it with zest.🙏 Collaboration: Help each other out, have empathy, and listen well.Internally we aren't fixated on titles & levels since that can lead to needless hierarchy that distracts from the team's collective success. We recognize that not all companies operate that way so we say "Senior / Staff" to indicate we want people with substantial amounts of experience.
If you're interested in this job, we strongly encourage you to apply: we'd love to see you on our team working toward our audacious vision of freeing the mind from its biological limitations.
