About us

The way information on the internet is consumed is changing. It's shifting from humans searching pre-crawled information on Google to AI agents doing real-time targeted crawling from sources of truth. But, there’s no “Google” for AI agents… yet. At Crustdata, we are building the gateway to the internet for AI agents. We already serve over 250 customers, are profitable and growing very fast. We're backed by some of the best investors in Silicon Valley including Y Combinator, General Catalyst, and SV Angel. Our mission: To be the way AI agents use and interface with the internet. We’re looking for our first designer. This is a rare opportunity to be the first designer, shape foundational design decisions, and grow quickly alongside the company.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be a core partner to the founders as we move from product-market fit to scale. You’ll own design end-to-end across product, brand, and growth:

Product design

  1. Design core product experiences: dashboards, workflows, APIs surfaces, and data interactions
  2. Translate complex data and infrastructure concepts into intuitive, elegant UI
  3. Work closely with engineering to ship quickly and iteratively

Design system & foundations

  1. Establish and evolve our design system (components, patterns, typography, color, motion)
  2. Set quality bars and create reusable primitives that scale with the product

Brand & marketing design

  1. Define and evolve Crustdata’s visual identity
  2. Design landing pages, product pages, decks, and sales/marketing assets
  3. Create visual systems for content across web, social, and video

Growth & experimentation

  1. Design assets for growth experiments (lead magnets, pages, demos, PLG flows)
  2. Support launches, announcements, and experiments with fast, high-quality design
  3. Collaborate on activation flows for our upcoming self-serve / PLG motion (B2B + B2C)

Storytelling & clarity

  1. Help tell a clear, compelling story about what Crustdata does and why it matters
  2. Turn abstract concepts into visuals that “click” immediately

Who you are

  1. Strong product designer - you care deeply about usability, clarity, and craft
  2. Excellent visual taste - you know what looks good
  3. Systems thinker
  4. Builder - you move fast, iterate often, and care about shipping
  5. Comfortable with ambiguity - you’re excited by zero-to-one work
  6. Collaborative - you like working directly with founders and engineers
  7. Detail-oriented but pragmatic

Pluses

  1. Experience designing developer-facing or data-heavy products
  2. Familiarity with motion, interaction design, or light front-end work
  3. Designed for both B2B and B2C products
  4. Worked at an early-stage startup or as a founder
  5. Built or shipped side projects with real users
  6. Experience supporting PLG or growth experiments

Why Join

  1. Impact: As the first growth hire, you’ll define how our product meets the world
  2. Trajectory: Learn directly from founders, YC partners, and top-tier investors
  3. Ownership: Competitive comp and meaningful equity in a profitable, fast-growing company
  4. Mission: Help build the way AI agents interface with the internet. Part-time or full-time
