## Job description

🎬 About OpenArt OpenArt is a leading AI creative platform for visual storytelling, used by millions worldwide. We're building an AI creative partner, powered by the best models in the world, so anyone can make videos, images, characters, and whole stories with the speed and imagination that used to take a studio. We believe the future of creativity is AI-native: not a vending machine for clips, but a partner that understands what you're going for, works alongside you, and helps you finish the whole thing, from a single post to a campaign to a film. Our mission is to empower creators to bring their ideas to life. That's the future we're shaping, and we'd love for you to help design it. ✨ What You'll Do

- Own the surfaces that turn a visitor into a creator and a creator into a customer: onboarding, first-run, paywalls, upgrade prompts, pricing, credits, and checkout, from first concept through tested experiment.
- Design the first five minutes: take someone from "I don't know where to start" to a first result they're proud of, shaped by what they came to make.
- Turn business goals into design hypotheses: activation, conversion, expansion, retention. Design and read the experiments with growth PMs and data, and iterate on what moves the number.
- Make the value legible: pricing, plans, and credits that people understand in one read, whether they're buying for themselves or a team. Clarity that converts, never tricks.
- Teach without a manual: reveal what matters when it matters, and let people see what's possible instead of reading about it.
- Turn winning variants into permanent product, consistent with the rest of OpenArt, and build the patterns so each experiment makes the next one cheaper.

🍿 Our Culture At OpenArt, we value:

- Ownership & Impact – Design is where the product gets decided, not where ideas go to get polished. You'll shape strategy, not just pixels.
- Curiosity & Growth – We ask "what if?" a lot, build to find out, and share work early.
- Collaboration & Openness – Ideas come from anywhere, and so does honest feedback. We co-create with engineers, founders, and the AI itself.
- Human-Centered Design – AI feels cold by default. We put warmth in the small places: empty states, microcopy, the moment something fails.

🔎 What We're Looking For Hard Skills

- You've moved a revenue or activation metric with design – onboarding, paywalls, pricing, or checkout, with the before and after to show.
- Experiment literacy – hypotheses, variants, sample sizes, and reading a result honestly, including the ones you lose.
- Strong UI craft at speed – a polished variant this week, ten more this month.
- AI in your daily practice – prototyping in code, Claude, Figma Make or similar, with real opinions on where it helps.

Soft Skills

- Data-curious – you want to know what happened, not just whether it shipped.
- Bias to ship – you'd rather learn from a real test than debate a mock.
- Partner to PMs and marketing – you bring the design point of view early.
- Steady – most experiments lose, and you treat that as information, not a verdict.
- Strong communicator – you can explain why a change should convert, not just that it looks better.

🤩 Example Ideal Candidate

- Has owned onboarding, pricing, or paywalls at a consumer or prosumer product and can tell you the number it moved.
- Writes their own copy and treats an empty state as a design brief.
- Comfortable in a weekly experiment cadence without letting craft slip.
- Excited about creators and storytelling, and about the moment someone makes their first thing with AI.

🌍 Location & Work Setup

- Bay Area (full-time, on-site or hybrid)
- High collaboration with founders and global engineering team.
- Visa sponsorship available.

💖 Why OpenArt? Millions of people arrive at AI creative tools every month, and most leave at the prompt box. We're building an agent that takes that wall down, and your job is the moment right after: the first time someone says what they want and gets back something they're proud of. Here, growth is part of how the product is designed, not something added after, and that first impression is yours to make. ✉️ How to Apply Send your resume and portfolio to sultan@openart.ai.

## About OpenArt AI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: OpenArt is an all-in-one AI creative platform that enables users to generate, edit, and remix images, videos, characters, audio, and 3D worlds through a single interface.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Coco Mao (CEO), John Qiao (CTO) – both former Google engineers

## Core Business
- Primary Industry: Technology, Information and Internet; AI‑powered creative tools
- Target Customers: B2C (millions of individual creators) and B2B (brands, studios, content teams)
- Mission Statement: “Build the future of storytelling with AI.”

## Products & Services
- **Image Generation & Editing** – Generate images using models like GPT Image 2, Nano Banana Pro, Seedream 5.0, and edit within the same canvas (erase, expand, restyle, upscale to 4K).
- **Video Generation** – Create videos up to 15 seconds at up to 4K resolution, choosing from models such as Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0 Omni, and Sora 2. Refine or edit each generation.
- **Character Builder** – Build consistent characters using reference images or text; characters can be reused across images, scenes, and videos with the same face and style.
- **World** – Generate persistent, navigable 3D spatial environments from a single prompt or reference images; add characters, place objects, take still photos, or export to 3D tools.
- **Audio** – AI voiceovers in 30+ languages with lip‑sync, original music generation, and sound effects (footsteps, rain, etc.). Export as WAV or MP3 timed to video.
- **OpenArt Director** – Storyboard and refine video sequences using natural‑language chat for granular shot‑by‑shot control.
- **Smart Shot** – Convert a single prompt into 3–5 cinematic cuts with varied angles, camera moves, and visual consistency.

  - **Monthly Active Users**: 8 million+ [[openart.ai/blog]](https://openart.ai/blog/the-openart-story/)
- **Total Funding**: $40 M+ across three rounds:
  - Seed (June 2023): $5 M led by DCM Ventures and CapitalOven [[tracxn.com]](https://tracxn.com/d/companies/openart/__rGLZ4jZtTKFqOnIFJpVIpXqrPEtJHfzKwCfxXxYFnns)
  - Venture Round (Aug 2025): $5 M [[linkedin.com]](https://www.linkedin.com/company/openart-ai)
  - Series A (2026–Q1): $30 M – $35 M (conflicting reports) led by Canaan Partners [[openart.ai/blog]](https://openart.ai/blog/the-openart-story/)

- **Growth Signals**:

  - Presence in 17 countries across North America, Asia, and Europe
  - Hosted the world’s first AI Influencer Summit and produced “Bot House,” the first AI reality TV show

## Competitive Advantages
- **All‑in‑one platform**: Instead of juggling separate tools (Midjourney for images, Runway/Sora for video, etc.), users access images, video, characters, audio, and 3D worlds under a single subscription.
- **Character consistency**: A core differentiator – one character can be reused across images, scenes, and videos with the same look, enabling storytelling and AI influencers.
- **Model agnosticism**: The platform bundles multiple top‑tier AI models (Seedream, Veo, GPT Image, Kling, Sora, etc.), letting users pick the best option per project without paying multiple subscriptions.
- **Strong retention driven by storytelling**: The metric most watched is not ARR but how often creators return to deepen characters and expand universes.

## Strategic Focus
- Continue building the end‑to‑end creative platform for storytellers (characters, worlds, long‑form video)
- Expand the AI influencer and brand‑mascot market (e.g., AI Influencer Summit, Bot House reality show)
- Deepen integration of audio and video editing for professional studios
- Grow the engineering and product teams – “We’ve nearly doubled in size this year, and the pace isn’t slowing down.” [[openart.ai/blog]](https://openart.ai/blog/the-openart-story/)

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Fast‑moving, lean team that “move[s] fast, over‑communicate[s], and put[s] storytelling at the heart of everything.” [[openart.ai/blog]](https://openart.ai/blog/the-openart-story/)
- **Growth trajectory**: Company experienced 7× ARR growth in one year and is actively hiring across departments (engineering, design, product, marketing)
- **Founders**: Ex‑Google (Coco Mao, John Qiao) with a track record of launching products at scale (short‑form video platform acquired by Google Search)
- **Work model**: Hybrid / office presence in San Francisco (HQ) and Redwood City; no formal remote‑first policy stated
- **Notable**: Free trial available for users; employees have backgrounds from top AI companies (Stability AI, Invideo, ImagineArt, etc.)
