At Read AI we’re redefining how teams collaborate by bringing intelligence to every conversation. Our platform supercharges productivity across meetings, messages, and email, so work gets done faster, smarter, and with better focus. We integrate seamlessly with tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Slack, and more, helping teams stay aligned and move forward, whether they’re in the same room or across time zones.
Backed by $81 million in funding from Smash Capital, Madrona, and Goodwater Capital, Read AI is growing. If you're excited to shape the future of AI-powered collaboration and want to make an impact at a product-focused startup, we’d love to meet you.
The Role:
We’re hiring a Product Designer to help shape the future of our AI-powered assistants and tools.
You’ll work on two core areas:
Search Copilot — our AI-powered partner that helps users search, analyze, and transform information across meetings, Slack, email, and documents.
Ada — our emerging AI assistant and digital twin, you’re joining at the moment this product hits the market, and your job is to help make it succeed with real users.
Today, these tools are technically powerful, but this role exists to turn them into intuitive, trusted, and deeply embedded parts of the Read experience.
You’ll design how AI shows up across surfaces, how users interact with probabilistic systems, and how assistants become true workflow partners.
This team moves fast. You’ll ship improvements, prototype new interaction patterns, and collaborate closely with Product, Data Science, and Engineering to push boundaries responsibly.
What You’ll Do:
Design AI-Native Experiences
Improve and evolve Search Copilot into a core workflow tool, not just an entry point
Expand Ada beyond email into a more capable, embedded assistant
Design for probabilistic systems, balancing power, clarity, and trust
Shape how AI integrates across web and other touchpoints
Simplify complex AI outputs into actionable experiences
Improve discoverability across product surfaces
Define micro-interactions that communicate confidence, uncertainty, and system state
Reduce friction in high-volume, content-heavy workflows
Craft thoughtful microcopy for prompts, empty states, error states, and AI explanations
Design for clarity in ambiguous or uncertain outputs
Partner with PM and Engineering to define tone and behavior for assistant interactions
Rapidly prototype new AI interaction patterns
Explore different input modalities, including voice and conversational interfaces
Collaborate closely with Data Science to test, iterate, and refine experiences
Bring an experimental spirit that inspires the broader design team
2–4 years of product design experience
Experience designing for AI-powered tools or intelligent systems
Strong interaction design and micro-interaction skills
Comfort designing for probabilistic systems and imperfect outputs
Content design strength—clear, concise, user-centered writing
Ability to prototype quickly and iterate in fast-moving environments
Strong collaboration skills across Product, Engineering, and Data Science
Comfort operating in ambiguity while shipping consistently in a faced-paced environment
You’re curious about how AI changes interaction models.
You’re comfortable experimenting.
You care about clarity in complex systems.
AI tools often feel powerful but disconnected. This role ensures our assistants become intuitive, embedded, and genuinely helpful across the Read experience.
You’ll help define how AI shows up in a real product used by millions—at a moment where the space is still forming.
Innovative: We're set to bring AI to the masses by introducing technology designed to improve every interaction.
Massive Impact: AI's greatest impact will be on the ability to allow people to do more, taking away mundane tasks and allowing them to focus on what matters the most.
