ABOUT US

Pickle is building the future of human connection, starting with your AI clone.

In a world where reach is abundant but depth is rare, we’re rethinking how people express themselves and form meaningful relationships. Our goal is ambitious: to give everyone a living, human-like digital clone that can think, speak, and feel like you, so you can scale who you are, not just what you do.

We’re a small team of builders, designers, and researchers backed by Y Combinator, NFX, Krew Capital, and BASS Ventures. We move fast, work hard, and care deeply. Our culture is built on intensity, imagination, and long-term craftsmanship. We believe this is the start of a new era—where the digital self becomes an extension of the human self—and we’re here to shape it from first principles.

Our mission is to help people scale strong ties by scaling the self.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Pickle is looking for exceptional founding designers to help us craft the first truly human AI clone—real time, expressive, and persistent across voice, video, and memory. As a founding designer, you’ll shape how people see, feel, and interact with their digital selves. You’ll work at the frontier of identity, emotion, and interface design to bring living AI experiences into the world.

ABOUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Design intuitive, expressive interfaces for a new category of AI-native consumer product.

  • Build scalable UI systems that bring consistency and clarity across the Pickle experience.

  • Prototype and test new features rapidly to learn what resonates with users.

  • Define Pickle’s visual identity through thoughtful typography, imagery, and motion.

  • Partner closely with engineers to bring designs to life with precision and care.
