Exa is building a search engine from scratch for the AI era. Our Search API currently powers Agents, Fortune 500s and AI labs as we transform an industry that hasn’t been disrupted since the 90s. We're a largely SF-based team of ~100 from Harvard, MIT, Meta, Google Research, ex-founders & dropouts alike.
We recently raised an $85M Series B from Benchmark, and we are rapidly building the most intelligent search engine in history. We’re high agency, low-ego, and united by the feeling that this is one of the last problems worth getting right.
We're looking for a Brand Designer with strong visual taste to help shape a vibrant and technical identity.
Designers at Exa have broad creative license, and the freedom to create and lead new initiatives based on your best judgement. We expect a broad set of skills and the ability to create high-quality graphics and supporting assets. If you are a versatile designer who enjoys rapidly iterating on a variety of projects, this might be the right role for you.
We are looking for Brand Designers comfortable in web OR print, so please apply if either of these describes you.
