About GenTube

Imagination to images in milliseconds. Already 10M+ monthly creations — and accelerating. We believe AI creation is the next social medium — as big as video, as habitual as scrolling.


Mission: Make creation the world’s favorite entertainment.


The Opportunity

We’re at the start of a generational shift. Just as YouTube unlocked the world’s videos and TikTok made short-form the default entertainment, GenTube is making AI creation the medium of our time.

A billion people will move from passive consumption to active creation — and you’ll design the experiences that make it effortless and delightful.


The Role

As GenTube’s first Product Designer (UX/UI), you’ll shape how millions create with AI. You’ll design interfaces that feel alive — intuitive, playful, and emotionally rewarding. From concept to prototype to polish, you’ll define the next generation of creative experiences.


What You’ll Do
  • Design and ship end-to-end product experiences.
  • Craft creation flows that feel instant and satisfying.
  • Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate on ideas.
  • Build and maintain a scalable design system.
  • Design for emotion — micro-interactions, motion, and visual feedback.
  • Collaborate closely with founders and engineers to push creative boundaries.


What We’re Looking For
  • Experience shipping to real users 
  • Move at founder speed: daily deploys, 24-hour experiments
  • Move at founder speed: daily deploys, 24-hour experiments
  • Deep UX sense — simplicity, flow, and emotional connection.
  • Understanding of motion, feedback, and engagement loops.
  • Experience building consumer or creative apps a plus.
  • Startup DNA: fast, curious, hands-on, user-obsessed.


Why Join
  • Be early — like joining YouTube in 2005 or TikTok in 2018.
  • Own it — zero layers, ship daily, reach millions.
  • Learn from founders who’ve built at 100M+ scale
  • Competitive comp, significant equity, huge creative upside.
