Our mission is to build the world's most human AI phone agents. Thousands of businesses rely on Bland AI to automate customer conversations while delivering an experience customers actually enjoy. We're growing quickly, and marketing plays a critical role in how the world experiences Bland. Every website interaction, campaign, product launch, piece of content, and brand expression is an opportunity to make Bland feel differentiated, credible, and world-class. We're looking for a Brand Designer (Web) to help define how that experience looks and feels. ## What you'll own The Website (~60%) Own the design and day-to-day evolution of [bland.ai](http://bland.ai). Keep the site current with product launches, case studies, new messaging, and company updates. Continuously improve the design, user experience, responsiveness, accessibility, and overall quality of the site. You'll work closely with Engineering to bring designs to life on the web. You don't need to be a software engineer, but you should be comfortable working with a modern website and using tools like Claude Code to make design changes, iterate quickly, and ship improvements yourself. You'll own the creative quality bar for the website as it scales. You'll establish strong QA practices for anything that ships and regularly audit the site for visual inconsistencies, responsive issues, broken experiences, and stale content. The goal is simple: make [bland.ai](http://bland.ai) one of the best-designed websites in enterprise technology. The Brand System (~25%) Help define and evolve Bland's visual identity across typography, color, layout, motion, iconography, illustration, and other brand elements. Build guidelines, templates, and systems that allow the broader marketing team to produce great work quickly and consistently. You should know when to build a reusable system and when to break the rules for something worth making exceptional. Launch & Campaign Work (~15%) Design landing pages, launch pages, campaign experiences, and other high-impact marketing creative. Work closely with Product Marketing to turn positioning and messaging into experiences people actually want to look at. We're particularly interested in work that goes beyond static layouts—using interaction, motion, and the capabilities of the web to make a launch memorable rather than merely clean. This is the part of the role with the most room to be ambitious. You'll work closely with Marketing, Growth, Product Marketing, and Engineering. ## What we're looking for Exceptional Design Taste You have a strong point of view on design and an unusually high bar for quality. You understand typography, composition, hierarchy, spacing, motion, and visual systems—and you know what makes a website feel premium, modern, and intentional. Web-First Design You love designing for the web. You understand that great web design isn't just about making beautiful layouts. It's about interaction, movement, responsiveness, hierarchy, usability, and how an experience feels as someone moves through it. You should have a portfolio that demonstrates strong digital and web work. Strong Design Fundamentals You have 3+ years of experience in brand, marketing, digital, or web design. You may have a traditional design background, an unconventional path, or anything in between. We care much more about what you've made than where you've worked. Technical Curiosity You don't need to be an engineer. But you should be comfortable working with a website and collaborating closely with engineers. You should be able to make smaller changes yourself, understand what's possible on the web, and use modern tools like Claude Code to bring ideas to life. You don't need to know exactly how everything works. You need to be curious enough to figure it out. Builder Mentality You ship. If something on the website looks wrong, you fix it. If a page feels outdated, you improve it. If you see an opportunity to make something better, you don't wait for someone to write a spec. High Standards + Good Judgment You care about the details, but you also know how to move quickly. You can tell the difference between work that needs another few hours of refinement and work that is ready to ship. Opinionated, Low Ego You have strong opinions about design. You're also willing to change your mind when someone has a better idea. You care more about getting to the best answer than being right. ## Compensation & Perks - $120,000–$170,000/year - Meaningful equity + bonus - Comprehensive benefits - Beautiful office in Levi's Plaza, San Francisco - Work at one of the fastest-growing AI companies in the world This is an in-person role in San Francisco.

Supports inbound and outbound calls across voice, SMS, iMessage, and web chat. Unified memory across channels and real‑time observability. - **Conversational Pathways**: A proprietary programming language that enables users to create branching, deterministic call flows to reduce hallucinations. - **Forward Deployed Engineering**: Professional services that build the first production agent end‑to‑end in 2–6 weeks, integrating with the customer’s CRM, telephony, and scheduling tools. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (latest round: Series C) - **Key Metric (Funding)**: Over $100M total raised (Series C announced in 2025) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator (S23), Team Ignite Ventures, Max Levchin (PayPal co‑founder), Jeff Lawson (Twilio co‑founder) - **Growth Signals**: 522M+ calls resolved to date, 47M+ calls per month, ~100 employees, $2M ARR achieved within four months of the initial pivot. Certifications include SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, PCI DSS v4.0, and GDPR – enabling adoption in highly regulated verticals. ## Competitive Advantages - **Full‑stack ownership**: Bland built its own voice models, LLM, text‑to‑speech, and speech‑to‑text – not a wrapper around third‑party APIs. This provides lower latency (~400ms) and full control over model behavior. - **Compliance‑first design**: SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR out of the box. Self‑hosted and on‑premises deployments available for sensitive workloads. - **Proprietary orchestration**: The Conversational Pathways language allows deterministic, auditable call flows that reduce hallucination risk. - **Rapid deployment**: Typical go‑live in 30 days with dedicated Forward Deployed Engineer support. ## Strategic Focus - **Regulated industries**: Deepening traction in healthcare, financial services, and insurance where compliance and data residency are critical. - **Global expansion**: Multi‐language support (40+ languages, real‑time translation in 23) and data residency options in US, EU, and APAC. - **Channel expansion**: Unifying agent memory across voice and messaging to offer a single omnichannel AI assistant. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: “We hire for obsession, not pedigree.” Emphasis on work ethic, accountability, and direct ownership. Flat structure with minimal approval chains (“No committees. No approval chains. Ship the right thing, measure the result, iterate.”) - **Engineering focus**: The company built its own models and infrastructure – ideal for engineers who want to work on frontier AI problems rather than stitching together APIs. - **Location & flexibility**: Based in San Francisco with remote (US) options for some roles. The office environment is startup‑intense; the co‑founder famously slept on a closet floor during the early pivot. - **Notable perks**: Not explicitly listed, but the company highlights a “build it yourself” ethos, early‑stage equity, and direct impact on a product that processes tens of millions of calls per month. ## Sources 1.
