Job description

About Searchable

We're building the future of AI search visibility. As ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity reshape how people find information, we help brands understand and optimize their presence in this new landscape. Backed by top angels and VCs, we're creating the essential platform for the AI search era.

Our core values:

• 1. Move Fast - We make decisions quickly and get things done. Progress matters more than perfection.
• 2. Find Your Lever, Then Move the World - Everyone here finds the work that matters most and takes real pride in it. When you own something, you give it your all.
• 3. Ask Why - We question old habits and push for better answers. If something does not make sense, speak up.
• 4. Value Perspicacity - We notice things others miss. We think ahead and solve problems before they get big.
• 5. Leadership Means Clearing the Path - Leaders remove obstacles and help others do their best work. Anyone can step up and make things easier for the team.

About the Role

• Be an early employee at a venture‑backed startup with proven founders who have multiple exits.
• Own the entire design vision - from brand identity to user experience.
• Work directly with the founders to shape product strategy.
• Build the design culture and team as we scale.
• Have your work impact millions of users across the world's biggest brands.

About You

We need someone with an insatiable hunger to create beautiful, functional products. Someone who:

• Obsesses over details others miss - the perfect curve, the right spacing, the subtle animation.
• Thinks in systems, not just screens.
• Can sell their vision with conviction but adapt with humility.
• Thrives in ambiguity and loves the challenge of defining what doesn't exist yet.
• Wants their work to be remembered, not just used.

What you'll do

• Define our visual language and design system from scratch.
• Create intuitive interfaces for complex AI and data visualization challenges.
• Shape how brands understand and improve their AI search presence.
• Build a world‑class design culture as we grow.
• Collaborate directly with engineering to ensure pixel‑perfect implementation.

Benefits and Comp

• Top market salary in London, performance bonus and real equity.
• 25 days paid vacation and leading parental and childcare policies.
• Relocation bonus and support to make your move to London smooth (if needed).
