Founding Product Designer
The Role
We are looking for someone to design solutions for entirely new problems. There are no best practices here so we think about problems from first principles and invent novel solutions deeply rooted in user empathy. We have many different users in our ecosystem, and we talk to them often through in-depth user interviews and our Discord server. You will rapidly prototype ideas delivery high quality features on a regular basis.
You are a good fit if this describes you:
Working on this specific problem space deeply excites you
Have experience prototyping features from 0 - 1, ability to rapidly iterate based on new insights and know how to gather and synthesize those insights
You take the effort to deeply understand the user and understand the technical context to solve a problem
Prioritize problem solving over pixels and aesthetics
You will be the first designer on the team and will have a huge influence on our products, strategic direction, and culture.
What is ComfyUI?
ComfyUI, in the simplest form, is a node-based engine that enables users to generate visual content using AI. It is the most popular and powerful visual AI framework with more than 60k Github stars, thousands of 3rd party extensions and millions of users.
But this is not where it stops,
ComfyUI is and will continue to be a tool for artists of the future: a human equipped with AI who can be an order of magnitude more productive than before.
ComfyUI will continue evolve to further to democratize AIs for creatives, hobbyists, storytellers, studios, developers, and enterprises.
It empowers those who were not trained with the power of the brush to also be a painter and those who do to be a maestro.
It will become an Operating System for visual Gen AI.
It will unlock a world where no stories is left untold
About Us
We are a small, intense, and well-funded team in San Francisco who push ComfyUI and its ecosystem forward. Our team comes from Stability AI and Google and many contributed to the ComfyUI ecosystem way before working here.
Our organization is flat and there is no hierarchy, only categories: devv, artz, prod, oprt, etc (and no, there is no one here with the title of Member of Technical Staff, it’s long and silly for a job title).
The only thing that matters is the quality of your cultural fit and execution. We work hard and demand a lot of each other. But we have fun: everyone is here to make something meaningful that will end up being our life’s work. If this mission excites you and you view yourself as a top-tier talent, talk to us at hiring@comfy.org. Your future latent self is waiting for you at Comfy.
