What the role involves
We’re looking to bring on our first designer to help build out our product and marketing materials.
About us
The way information on the internet is consumed is changing. It's shifting from humans searching pre-crawled information on Google to AI agents doing real-time targeted crawling from sources of truth. But, there’s no “Google” for AI agents… yet.
That’s where we come in. At Crustdata, we are building the gateway to the internet for AI agents. We already serve over 250 customers, are profitable and growing very fast. We're backed by some of the best investors in Silicon Valley including Y Combinator, General Catalyst, and SV Angel.
Our mission: To be the way AI agents use and interface with the internet.
We’re looking for our first designer. This is a rare opportunity to be the first designer, shape foundational design decisions, and grow quickly alongside the company.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be a core partner to the founders as we move from product-market fit to scale. You’ll own design end-to-end across product, brand, and growth:

Work closely with engineering to ship quickly and iteratively
Design system & foundations
Establish and evolve our design system (components, patterns, typography, color, motion)
Set quality bars and create reusable primitives that scale with the product
Brand & marketing design
Define and evolve Crustdata’s visual identity

Support launches, announcements, and experiments with fast, high-quality design
Collaborate on activation flows for our upcoming self-serve / PLG motion (B2B + B2C)
Storytelling & clarity
Help tell a clear, compelling story about what Crustdata does and why it matters
Turn abstract concepts into visuals that “click” immediately
