They've been a great collaborator in helping us shape what the future of agents looks like." — Prashant Mital, Applied AI Lead, OpenAI* **About the role**Modern AI lets software *reason* in real time. That overturns decades of UX assumptions. A chatbot bolted onto old workflows won’t cut it; we need interfaces where humans and agents co-create work, hand tasks back and forth, and build trust in real time. You will lead Basis into that design unknown: design both the screens accountants see *and* the invisible UI “toolbox” agents draw from when they assemble those screens. Imagine Basis 18 months out, then ship toward it one prototype at a time. 📍 **Location**: NYC, Flatiron office. In-person team. **What you'll doBuild** - Design and redesign user-agent interactions across multiple surfaces, from first sketch to polished release - Invent agent-ready UI primitives that agents can assemble, edit, and explain in real time - Partner closely with product design on working agents seamlessly into new and existing products **Understand our many accounting users** - Building really good systems here start from deep user empathy. You will spend a portion of your time actually doing accounting work in Basis and becoming a user **Be a visionary** - Pair with founders to sketch Basis 2027, then distill it into quarterly bets **Learn at warp speed** - Immerse in what makes accounting awesome, emergent abilities of LLMs, and various UX for generally-intelligent software, then turn that insight into product decisions What we're looking for - **Experience:** 4–8 years designing complex SaaS or AI tooling, with at least one 0→1 launch (extraordinary talent with fewer years considered). - **First-principles reasoner:** You break problems to fundamentals and rebuild without legacy bias. - **Agent-native builder:** You already prototype with LLMs and can explain why they change UX. - **Use AI a lot**: You should be using AI for your own work a ton.
