You'll craft beautiful experiences that intelligently and intuitively blend agentic workflows and "traditional" ui. We're looking for designers who want to push technology while deeply empathizing with real customer problems. You'll work across all teams at Durable to define and deliver what the future of AI UX looks like. You'll be responsible for execution, holding everyone to a high standard of quality. This is not a role where you'll spend your day in Figma. You'll be prototyping directly with the latest models, experimenting, learning their capabilities, and uncovering powerful opportunities to push innovative UX to our customers. What we're looking for: - 4+ years of product design experience on shipped B2C products, with a portfolio you can speak to in depth - Comfortable producing in code or with AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, or equivalent) - Fluent with the current generation of AI creative tooling (image gen, video gen, voice) and opinionated about where they're useful - Experience designing AI or generative experiences: prompt interfaces, automated output, multi-modal interactions - Systems thinking: design patterns and component libraries that scaled beyond the features you built them for - Bonus: you have an eye for exceptional brand design and motion and want to help us push the Durable brand further (in product and across marketing) - Bonus: startup experience or having launched something of your own Fine print This role is based in Vancouver. We currently work in-office two days per week on Mondays & Thursdays. Compensation is $150,000–$190,000 CAD base plus equity, for Vancouver-based candidates, depending on seniority. Actual salary takes experience, location, and other factors into account. ## About Durable ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Durable builds an AI platform that turns natural language descriptions into production-ready, self-maintaining software using explainable neurosymbolic AI. - **Entity Type**: Private (VC-funded startup) - **Headquarters**: Louisville, Colorado, United States - **Founded**: 2022 - **Founders**: Nima Keivan (CEO & Co-Founder), Fernando Nobre (CTO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: AI-powered software development, enterprise automation, generative AI - **Target customers**: B2B, enterprise teams needing custom integrations, workflows, and automations without heavy engineering overhead - **Mission or purpose statement**: “Transform access to custom software using explainable AI capable of human-level reasoning and dialogue” – democratizing custom software creation for everyone. ## Products & Services - **Durable Platform (core product)**: A SaaS platform that accepts plain‑English problem descriptions, investigates the user’s systems, generates concrete requirements, writes production code, deploys it with one click, and automatically maintains the automations (error detection, API compatibility monitoring, change approval). Integrates with 30+ enterprise tools (Salesforce, Slack, GitHub, Jira, Stripe, etc.). Built on proprietary neurosymbolic AI, not just LLM wrappers. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding – at least $250k non‑dilutive grant from Colorado OEDIT (awarded November 2023); overall VC‑funded (amounts not specified) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Not named in available data; described as “VC‑funded startup founded by repeat founders” - **Growth Signals**: - Small but highly skilled team (4–5 employees) with backgrounds from Amazon, Intel, Cloudflare, etc. - Awarded non‑dilutive state funding in 2023 - Active product development and hiring (Machine Learning Internship posted) - Growing LinkedIn following (+4.1% yearly) ## Competitive Advantages - **Neurosymbolic AI approach**: Combines deep learning (handling noisy data) with symbolic AI (explainable reasoning, data‑efficient learning) – a differentiator from pure LLM‑based competitors. - **Real production code, not agent chains**: Generates actual deployable code with full version history, testing, and CI/CD – not prompt wrappers. - **Self‑maintaining**: Automatically detects and fixes errors, monitors API changes, and submits updates for approval. - **Enterprise‑grade security**: SOC2 Type II, Google CASA Tier 2, SSO/SAML, RBAC, audit logging, dedicated infrastructure, 99.9% uptime SLA. - **Natural language control**: Users edit requirements in plain English; code updates accordingly – no tickets, no sprints, no waiting. ## Strategic Focus - **Current priorities**: Scaling the neurosymbolic AI platform to handle more complex enterprise use cases; building out integrations; expanding the team (hiring ML interns); maintaining a product‑focused, research‑driven culture. - **Direction for growth**: Democratizing custom software creation so non‑engineers can generate reliable automations, while keeping advanced customization available for developers. ## Why Work Here - **Culture highlights**: Small, tight‑knit team of high‑enthusiasm, low‑ego individuals. “Play hard, work hard” ethos – office located in Louisville, CO (15‑20 min from Boulder), with easy access to hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and trail running. Group dinners, dartboard tournaments, and conversations ranging from causality to baking. - **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: On‑site in Louisville, Colorado (employees work from physical offices). Not remote‑first. - **Notable perks or engineering culture**: - Work on cutting‑edge neurosymbolic AI (not just LLM prompt engineering) - Tech stack: Python, TypeScript, React, PyTorch, FastAPI, Node.js, Kubernetes, Docker, Prometheus, etc. - Emphasis on research and production‑grade science - Internship program available (Machine Learning Internship) - Founders are repeat entrepreneurs with deep technical backgrounds ## Sources 1.
