About Onton

We’re a team of four engineers pioneering the next generation of search. Since launching our product publicly last year, we’ve grown exponentially to hundreds of thousands of users.

More recently, we’ve built the foundation of a neurosymbolic AI in-house that dramatically increases search accuracy. In 2025, we plan to use this technology to expand into new categories and grow to 10M+ MAU.

To support expansion, we’ve raised $10M+ in funding. Our most recent Seed round was led by a top-tier firm and a supporting cast of well-known VCs and individuals with backgrounds from Amazon, Google, Stitch Fix, Whatnot, Stripe, Honey, Shopify, and more!

About the role

At Onton, we’re building the future of product search and discovery. It takes the average shopper 79 days to make a >$50 purchase decision, and we’re taking that to less than 1. You have the chance to build with us Amazon and Google’s replacement as you introduce category-defining paradigms for searching and shopping online, crafting a beautiful decision-making experience that people love and use every day.

You have the opportunity to:

• Own the overall product design at Onton.

• Construct and evolve an internal design system.

• Help establish our design culture and grow our team.

• Stay up to date with the latest technologies and shape the future of AI.

• Develop process to ensure we’re always shipping changes you’re proud of, as often as possible.

We expect you to:

• Have experience working on consumer applications.

• Talk directly with users and translate their needs into effective UI/UX.

• Work quickly and iteratively. Design can't be great without learning from usage.

• Be a "jack-of-most-trades" with design. Capable of designing anything from high-fidelity prototypes to t-shirts.

• Care deeply about your craft, polish, and user delight as much as you care about its impact on growth metrics.

• Be comfortable designing from 0 to 1 while considering how your decisions will scale to millions of users.

• Partner closely with engineering, research, and growth to guide your designs across the finish line.

We’d love it if you:

• Have a degree in Visual or Interaction Design, Fine Arts, Neuroscience, or comparable (or equivalent experience).

• Have coding experience.
