Founding Designer (UI/UX) - Contract
Improbable · Remote (UK)
📄Description
Contract role with potential to become permanent About Bolter Bolter is an AI agent platform built to help people get real work done, without needing to stitch together multiple tools or spend weeks setting things up. You describe what you need in plain language and Bolter creates and runs agents that can carry out the work end to end. They retain context, remember how you work and can also create real, shareable apps such as trackers and dashboards. Bolter is funded and currently at the validation-sprint stage, working with a small group of high-impact operators. We are now looking to hire a founding designer to shape the product from the ground up. About the role This is a genuine zero-to-one design role. You will define how people create, understand and work with AI agents inside Bolter. That includes the agent-building experience, the workspace where people can steer their agents, and the applications those agents generate. There is no established design system or interaction model to inherit. You will create both from the ground up, defining the components, patterns and behaviours that shape the product as it develops. The design problem goes beyond making AI easier to use. It is working out what it should feel like to collaborate with agents that retain context, carry out work and create software themselves. You will work directly with the GM in a lean team, with specialised AI agents supporting implementation. Your early design decisions will form the foundation that the rest of the product builds on. What you’ll do Build and own Bolter’s design system from the ground up Define the interaction patterns for creating, understanding and steering AI agents Shape the experience across the workspace and agent-generated applications Make pragmatic trade-offs between speed, clarity and craft Move quickly from ideas to working designs and strengthen what proves useful Help shape the early design and product team as Bolter grows What we’re looking for You’ve designed and shipped AI products and understand the interaction problems that come with them You think in systems and interaction patterns, not individual screens You have strong product and design judgement You care about craft, but know when speed and pragmatism matter more than polish You’re comfortable designing while the product itself is still being defined, rather than working from a settled brief You can form clear opinions and adapt them when the evidence changes Bolter is still early enough that the core design decisions are open. You will have meaningful ownership from the beginning and the opportunity to help define what working with AI agents should actually feel like. If you want to define an AI product rather than inherit one, we’d love to hear from you. Improbable Candidate Privacy Policy

The early access thing actually works. Applied to a role at 6am, recruiter told me I was one of the first 10 applicants. That never happens on other sites

Was super skeptical paying for a job board tbh. But the listings here are different - found 3 motion design roles I didnt see anywhere else. Got an offer from one of them

Been in the industry 12 years. This is the first job board that feels like it was made by someone who actually understands what designers are looking for. Simple as that.

Somehow every job here feels hand-picked? Like someone actually looked at it before posting. Rare for job boards these days.

Left my FAANG job last year. This site helped me find a fully remote role at a smaller company with way better work-life balance. No regrets

The fact that its designer-focused makes such a difference. I actually trust that when I click on a job its gonna be relevant to what I do
