AI will transform every industry – but only when it’s accessible to everyone, not just data scientists. Akkio makes it simple to take advantage of the power of AI by combining highly efficient machine learning with a simple and easy to use interface.
We're a team of 20+. We've recently raised a Series A round. Backers include Bain Capital Ventures, founders and executives from Sonos, HubSpot and more.
You will be the first design hire and will report directly to the designer co-founder. We’re looking for data savvy, analytical designers to expand and refine Akkio’s user experience. To be the right fit you must believe in our mission and be excited to work in a small, dynamic startup team.
Offers come with substantial equity grants and our culture is built around shared wins, so success drives large career, financial, and personal growth.
