Head of Design

About Limitless

At Limitless, our vision is to free the human mind from its biological limitations. We are starting with memory. 90% of memories are forgotten after just a week. Not only that, but our memory gets worse as we get older. If there is a hearing aid for hearing and glasses for vision then why isn’t there the equivalent for memory? That question is why we started the company. We build software and hardware to capture what you see, say, and hear and make it useful.

The products we have today are just the first step toward our audacious vision.

We have raised over $33m from top-tier investors including Sam Altman, First Round Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and NEA to help make that vision a reality.

Why Limitless

The work you’ll do will have tremendous impact on not just our company, but on society as a whole. We believe the best version of the future is one in which we augment – not replace – human intelligence with artificial intelligence. This is the key to unlocking humanity’s full potential, and you will play a critical role in helping us get there. Join us.

What kind of design leader do we need?

We believe the best products in the world are well designed. As our Head of Design, you will report directly to Dan, our CEO, and serve as a true peer to all the other leaders at the company including engineering. This is a rare chance to not only lead design, but serve as a leader in a company where design matters.

There are many types of design leaders, so to clarify what we’re looking for, here’s how we see our ideal fit:
