## Job description

## ABOUT MACROSCOPE

Macroscope aims to be the source of truth of what's happening for any company that builds software. Our mission is to give leaders clarity and engineers time.

We help leaders understand how their products and codebases are evolving—what’s changing, who’s working on what, and where progress is happening—grounded in the ultimate source of truth: the code.

Macroscope is founded by former entrepreneurs who have started and sold multiple companies, and operated as product/engineering executives at public tech companies. We're fortunate to be supported by the best VC firms and angels in the business, including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Thrive Capital, Google Ventures, and Adverb.

## ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring a Brand & Motion Designer to own how Macroscope shows up in the world. Every week there are new launches that deserve high craft visual concepts and polished videos to broadcast them.

This is a full-time, in-house creative role. You'll own visual marketing assets, motion design, and video production end to end: animated launch videos, short-form video social content, and a creative pipeline that makes it scalable.

You'll work directly with the founders and our growth marketer, with full creative ownership of the craft.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own all visual marketing output: UI motion graphics, social video, and ad campaign materials.
- Proactively find stories—understand the product, watch what the team is shipping and turn it into meaningful content, rather than waiting for briefs.
- Balance high production value launch moments with a scrappy, always-on cadence of social video between them.
- Build and own our motion pipeline leveraging coding agents and custom design tools to scale visual craft with product velocity.
- Evolve and maintain our brand across every surface.
- Own the story end-to-end: Pitch, design, shoot, edit, animate, and publish yourself.

## WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- Every feature ships with a launch videos that matches the quality of the product.
- A steady, recognizable cadence of video and motion content that reinforces our visual identity.
- Stories surface from inside the company because you found them, and brought them to life.
- The motion asset pipeline is fast and repeatable instead of a bottleneck.
- The brand feels coherent and unmistakable everywhere it appears.

## WHO YOU ARE

- 2+ years in brand, motion, or video design, with a portfolio of shipped work—launch videos, social content, and motion graphics you made yourself.
- Full-stack creative: comfortable across animation, editing, design tools, and ideally code-driven video like Remotion or similar.
- A smart storyteller —you can find the narrative in a technical product update and make people actually care in 30 seconds.
- Experience with developer or technical audiences strongly preferred; you know the difference between content that developers respect and slop they scroll past.
- Creatively autonomous: scrappy, fast, self-directed, and happy owning everything from concept to publish.
- You use AI tools throughout your creative workflow, and you're curious about staying up to date with the latest and greatest.

The base pay for the Brand & Motion Designer position ranges from $150k/year to $300k/year. Pay is based on several factors and may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

## ABOUT YOU

- You are extremely high agency. We are a small startup and we intend to keep an extremely flat organizational structure for as long as possible. Instead of relying on people managers, product managers and heavy processes, we rely on exceptionally talented individuals with high agency to be self-motivated towards contributing to our mission.
- You want to work at an early stage start-up. The default state of any startup is failure. The only way to overcome the daunting odds of making a startup venture successful is for a densely packed group of insanely hard working and talented people to work together to building something useful to and loved by customers. If you're not willing to work extremely hard on something high risk, this startup isn't for you.
- You act like an owner. You put immense care and craft into what you build because you take responsibility for all parts of the product. You don't walk past broken windows.
- You care about what we're building. Life's too short to work on something you're not passionate about. We are a small group of ambitious people who want to build something insanely great that we want to use, and that we think every company will want to use. If our mission and product doesn't resonate with you, we understand and would encourage you to find something that does.

- **Mission or purpose statement**: Replace status meetings with on-demand insights, merge code faster with fewer bugs, and bring everyone closer to the product without interrupting engineers.

## Products & Services
- **Macroscope Code Review**: AI-driven code review that finds bugs, suggests fixes, and can auto-approve low-risk PRs. Uses Abstract Syntax Trees (AST) and multiple LLM models (OpenAI o4-mini-high, Anthropic Opus 4) for high signal-to-noise detection. Pricing: $0.05 per KB reviewed (10KB min).

- **Integrations**: GitHub, Slack, Jira, Linear. Supports custom review rules written in markdown.

## Market Standing

- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lightspeed (lead, Michael Mignano), Adverb, Thrive Capital, Google Ventures (GV)
- **Growth Signals**: Launched publicly in September 2025; claims to catch 5% more bugs than next-best tool with 75% fewer false positives; customers include multiple notable startups; SOC 2 Type II compliant; team of ~24 employees (22 in product/tech); usage-based pricing model gaining traction.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Deep code understanding via AST**: Uses a graph-based representation of the codebase to find hard-to-detect bugs while avoiding false positives.
- **Self-learning**: Incorporates feedback from developer reactions, responses, and accepted review comments to improve over time.
- **Ticket-aware reviews**: Pulls context from Jira/Linear to evaluate PRs against linked tickets.
- **Auto-approval of low-risk PRs**: Frees up human reviewers for high-impact changes.
- **Founder pedigree**: Team previously built Periscope (acquired by Twitter) and Magic Pony (acquired by Twitter), giving them deep experience in scaling developer tools and consumer products.

## Strategic Focus
- Replacing status meetings and patchwork tooling with a single AI-driven understanding engine.
- Scaling code review to handle the increasing volume of AI-generated code.
- Expanding integrations and custom rule capabilities for enterprise customers.
- Maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio in bug detection to avoid developer fatigue.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Fast-moving startup founded by serial entrepreneurs with a proven track record. Emphasis on building the product the founders wish they had – practical, low-friction, developer-first.
- **Work policy**: In-office / OnSite in San Francisco, CA. Hybrid arrangement with typical time on-site “In-Office” (likely office-first culture).
- **Team**: Small but experienced team (22 product/tech employees) with founding engineers and a dozen other talented teammates.
- **Perks**: Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI for developer productivity; direct impact on product direction; usage-based revenue model provides clear customer value; SOC 2 Type II compliance indicates strong security posture.
- **Engineering culture**: Strong focus on code quality, AST-based analysis, and multi-model AI architecture. Engineers work closely with ML models and have autonomy to improve the system.
