Ando is a messaging platform where AI agents can take on work alongside human. We’re rebuilding Slack from the ground up around two core ideas: durable memory and agents as first-class participants. While we are pushing the frontier, we still have classic messaging challenges to address. Ando has to feel faster, lighter, and more delightful than the tools people use today. The bar is high. People need to want to spend hours of their working lives in Ando, and then convince their teammates and friends to do the same. We’re looking for brand designers who are excited by that challenge, and who want to play a pivotal role in shaping our creative vision alongside our founder. About our brand & visual identity - Architecture is a form of art people are compelled to experience simply by living in a city. Slack and team messaging are similarly inevitable surfaces in our daily digital lives. Our goal is to build a digital platform where people feel at ease spending much of their day. - This company is named after Tadao Ando, a Japanese architect known for blending brutalism with light and glass. His work also captures a sense of peaceful silence (something we hope to achieve and use to differentiate from Slack), and his buildings often house Turrells, Kusamas, and more. All of this inspires the visual elements of our platform: minimal, unobtrusive product design that lets us focus on the layers on top, such as the rhythm of messaging, sounds, etc. What you’ll do - Touch everything from motion to interaction to sound design. It’s not just pixels here… - Redesign and expand upon our existing brand materials, e.g. logotype, palette - Create delight in details - Pay attention to colors & typography - Choose and liaison with third party contractors where needed, find world class sound, shader, & illustration talent - Go from generative, wide-ranging conversations with our founder to deep reference gathering, to execution - Help drive the core narratives of our company and our users - Work closely with our product designers - Use Ando every day Qualifications - Strong portfolio - show instead of tell - High degree of curiosity with new tooling, e.g. Claude Code, Paper, Unicorn, etc - Bonus points for being an enthusiastic reference-gathering machine Benefits - Free Equinox membership & other health perks - Generous equity grant vested over 4 years - Health, dental, vision insurance
