Job description

WHY DELPHI?

Delphi is building the network of digital minds.

For the first time, anyone can create an interactive version of themselves: a living profile that talks, teaches, and answers questions in your voice, with your perspective and judgment, around the clock. The internet gave us static profiles and endless feeds. We're building something alive. People won't just read about you, they'll experience how you think.

This is the consumer shift we're betting on. Today it's thousands of the world's most brilliant minds. Next it's everyone: every thought leader, expert, and professional with a digital mind that scales their wisdom to anyone, anywhere. A new social layer where knowledge is abundant, personalized, and discoverable.

We are trusted and loved by thousands of the world’s most brilliant minds. We have tripled revenue, users, and Delphi interactions in the past 6 months - all organically through word of mouth. We plan to accelerate even further from here.

Delphi’s investors include Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund, Abstract Ventures, Michael Ovitz, Gokul Rajaram, Olivia Wilde, and dozens of founders from Lyft, Zoom, Doordash, and many more. Our team includes founders with successful exits and builders from Apple, Spotify, Substack and more.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Build for consumer - requiring attention to detail and obsession over user journeys.
  • Design end-to-end user experiences for interacting with digital minds—from conversation flows to content upload, from onboarding to complex configuration interfaces
  • Build design systems and interaction patterns that scale across web and mobile
  • Prototype rapidly in code (Figma + React) to validate ideas and ship your own designs to production
  • Think in flows and systems - mapping complex user journeys while understanding state, context, and edge cases
  • Own the details that make experiences feel alive: interaction timing, loading states, error handling, and micro-moments
  • Bridge design and engineering by translating technical constraints into elegant user experiences
  • Define what we should build based on user insights, technical feasibility, and business impact

WHO YOU ARE

  • Systems thinker: You see patterns across features and build reusable solutions. 4+ years designing digital products with strong understanding of design systems and component architecture.
  • Deeply product-minded: You understand how things should work, not just how they look. You think about user psychology, technical constraints, and information architecture - then make it beautiful.
  • Consumer Experiences: understanding of incentives, game mechanics, virality, and retention loops.
  • Technically fluent: Comfortable with modern frameworks. You can prototype in code and speak fluently with engineers.
  • Craft-driven with pragmatism: Your portfolio shows attention to interaction design, typography, and visual polish—but also smart decisions about when to ship fast versus when to perfect details.
  • Builder mentality: You prototype quickly, test assumptions, and iterate based on real usage. Comfort with ambiguity and defining what needs to exist.
  • Clear communicator: You articulate design decisions with reasoning, push back thoughtfully, and align cross-functional teams around a shared vision.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE

We work on hard problems. Our team is full of former founders, and entrepreneurial individuals who are taking on immense initiatives.

We push each other. Work from our beautiful Jackson Square office in San Francisco, surrounded by peers pushing to do their best work.

Benefits

  • Unlimited Learning Stipend: Whether it’s books, courses, or conferences, we want to support your growth and development. The more you learn and improve your craft the more effective we will be together.
  • Health, Dental, Vision: Comprehensive coverage to keep to take care of your health.
  • 401k covered by Human Interest.
  • Housing Stipend.
  • Relocation support to SF (as needed)

If you’re looking for just a job, Delphi isn’t the right fit. But if you want to shape the future of human connection, scale wisdom for billions, and build something that will outlast us all - you’ll feel at home here.
