About Sumbios

Google organized the world’s information.

OpenAI organized the world’s reasoning.

Sumbios organizes the world’s relationships.

We’re building the Operating System for Human Networks, powered by the Symbiotic Intelligence Engine (SIE): a temporal, context-aware intelligence layer that turns relationships into living systems of memory, meaning, and coordinated action.

Where CRMs store data, Sumbios understands:

• memory — what happened
• context — why it matters
• trust — the quality of connection
• alignment — where resonance exists
• intention — direction of movement
• potential — what could emerge next

Our goal:Create an intelligence that learns and acts with people.</p>

A system that amplifies human connection, coordination, and creativity.

We combine knowledge graphs, AI orchestration, and human-centered systems design to build a new computational model for relationships.

About the Role

This is a Founding Product Designer role for someone who designs, prototypes, and builds.

You’re fluent in interaction design, visual systems, and front-end craft. You’re able to take concepts from sketch → Figma → high-fidelity prototype → working front-end components — translating the identity of SIE into real, tangible experiences.

You’ll collaborate closely with:

• Paolo (Founder & CPO)
• CTO & CIO
• Graph, AI, and platform engineers
• Early users across venture, GTM, and innovation ecosystems

Your mission:

Make a complex intelligence feel simple, natural, and alive and build the interfaces that bring it to life.

What You’ll Lead1. Product Architecture & Sensemaking

• Work with founders and early users to uncover workflows, mental models, and systemic needs.
• Translate complexity into clear product concepts, diagrams, and interaction patterns.
• Align design decisions with graph logic, memory models, and AI behaviors.

2. Interaction Design & Prototyping

• Create adaptive interfaces that evolve with context, intent, and network state.
• Design flows for:
• dynamic graphs
• relationship intelligence
• trust & alignment signals
• contextual missions/workspaces
• Prototype in Figma, Framer, v0, and refine until the interaction feels seamless and expressive.

3. Front-End Implementation (Core Part of the Role)

• Build production-ready UI components in React/Next.js + Tailwind/Shadcn.
• Collaborate with engineering to integrate designs with:
• graph APIs
• context engine
• intelligence modules
• Implement interactive visualizations using D3, Recharts, or Cytoscape.
• Own the high-fidelity execution of the interface.

This is not an “engineer on the side” role, your front-end craft is central to how the product is shaped.

4. Systems, Language & Design Infrastructure

• Define the Sumbios design system, interface ontology, and atomic component library.
• Create scalable patterns for individuals → teams → organizations → ecosystems.
• Ensure the UI reflects the underlying semantics and intelligence architecture.

5. Co-Creation with Vision & Engineering

• Prototype new intelligence behaviors with Paolo.
• Co-design graph interactions and contextual reasoning flows with CTO/CIO.
• Sit with pilot users and iterate fast based on real-world signal.
• Shape the roadmap by turning complexity into clarity.

What You Bring

• 5–8+ years in product design with strong cross-functional ownership.
• Expertise in both design and front-end implementation.
• Fluent with React, Next.js, Tailwind, Shadcn, Framer Motion.
• Ability to prototype high-fidelity experiences in code as well as Figma.
• Systems thinker who works with models, contexts, and flows — not just screens.
• Experience collaborating continually with engineering.

Bonus if you’ve worked with:

• knowledge graphs (Neo4j, RDF, ontologies)
• data visualization (D3, Cytoscape)
• agentic or context-aware AI systems
• complex, dynamic interfaces
• motion/UI animation for intelligence systems

Above all, you can shape interfaces that feel alive and meaningful.

Our Environment:

Design & Prototyping: Figma, Framer, v0, Miro, Notion

Front-End: React, Next.js, Tailwind, Shadcn, Framer Motion, D3/Cytoscape

Knowledge & Graph: Neo4j, Airtable, Supabase, Notion

AI Stack: ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, internal SIE agents

Collaboration: Slack, Notion, Linear, Loom

Why Join Us

• Foundational role shaping the first interface for symbiotic intelligence.
• Direct collaboration with founders and deep access to core decision-making.
• Design and build for a category that doesn’t exist yet.
• Influence everything from ontology → UX → front-end motion.
• Competitive compensation + meaningful early equity.
• A mission grounded in relational intelligence, systemic thinking, and human meaning.
