About cGr3Kq8xY

We help families preserve the things that only exist once.

From VHS tapes and film reels to printed photos, negatives, slides, DVDs, camcorder cassettes, memory cards, and phones, we digitize the media that matters most. Families can then revisit and share those moments for generations to come.

But we believe the future of cGr3Kq8xY is much larger than digitization alone. We are building a long-term family memory platform designed to help families preserve, organize, explore, and share their history together.

We are not in the digitization business. We are in the irreplaceable business.

How we build

The old split, where engineers code, designers design and product managers write specs, is breaking down, and we're leaning into it. Agents write a lot of our code. Prototypes take an afternoon. We're building internal tools so the whole company works this way, not just the product team.

So here's who we're looking for: you've done one of these jobs (engineering, product or design) well, and you loved doing it. Here you'll use AI to cover the other two, next to teammates who are strong where you aren't. We care as much about how you check the AI's work as how fast you get it done.

What we're building

Digitizing is where a family starts with us. It isn't where we want to stop.

Most families have decades of their history in boxes, on formats almost nobody can play anymore. Getting it digitized solves the first problem. The second is that a digital archive can sit just as untouched as the box it came from.

We think a family archive should give people a reason to come back. Hours of tape hold things nobody remembers recording: a grandparent's voice in the background, the first time two cousins met, a house that's gone now. Most of it is never watched closely enough to find. We want to surface those moments, and help families see things in their own history that weren't obvious before.

We also want the archive to be the place a family's memory collects. The recordings and photos are only part of it. The rest lives in people's heads: who's in the picture, where it was taken, what happened after. We want families to add what they know while the people who know it are still around, so the archive gets more complete over time, not less.

The role

Our designers don't hand off and wait. You'll design in Figma against our design system, then ship the UI yourself with Claude Code or Cursor, with an engineer reviewing the pull request.

You'll work alongside our design lead, who sets the direction and the craft bar, and with our brand designer, marketing, engineers, support and the team on our Digifactory floor. Your job is to take that direction across more of what customers see, faster, and get it in front of them.

Where you'll design

• The product: the web app where families watch and share their memories, our iOS app, and TV apps on the way.

• AI features: how a family meets a summary, a transcript, a restored photo or a 3D scene, and how they fix it when the AI gets it wrong.

• Family and sharing: invites, comments, the stories behind a photo, and watching together.

• Capture: adding your own photos and video, and recording voice notes and stories in the app.

• The storefront: landing pages and product pages, with our brand designer.

• App Store and TV store listings: screenshots, previews and the words on them.

• Customer messages: lifecycle and order emails, push and in-app messages.

• Print: the inserts, guides and gift pieces that go in the box.

• The Digifactory: the screens and tools our team uses on the floor every day.

• Motion and product video: transitions in the app, and templates our video pipeline renders from the real product for launch clips and product videos.

• Reports: the dashboards non-technical teammates read every week.

What you'll do

• Design flows from the first sketch to the shipped screen.

• Extend our Figma library: variables, components, and the Code Connect links that tie them to code.

• Help build and own a second, shared component system for our internal tools and the floor.

• Prototype in code (React and Tailwind, SwiftUI previews) and ship your own UI changes as pull requests. Engineers review; you own the result.

• Shape launch moments with marketing and our brand designer: how a feature looks on the storefront, in the App Store and in the email that announces it.

• Make our product videos and launch clips: storyboard them, design the motion, edit the cut, and build the templates our video pipeline renders from the real product.

• Use funnels, session replays and heatmaps in PostHog to find what to fix and to show it worked.

• Run mapping sessions with the team and with customers to see the whole path from ordering a kit to sharing a memory.

Your first 90 days

• Week 1: one small UI fix merged, made by you.

• Day 30: you own one flow from design to production.

• Day 90: you're shipping design changes every week, and the design system is better than you found it.

Tools you'll use

Figma (variables, components, Code Connect, FigJam), our design systems in code (React, Tailwind, shadcn), Claude Code or Cursor, PostHog, Notion, and video and motion tools (After Effects, Premiere, or whatever you prefer).

What we're looking for

• 2+ years of shipped product design, with a portfolio that shows what changed between the first concept and what launched, and why.

• Strong in Figma, and comfortable working in and extending a design system.

• You design motion and edit video: product clips, launch videos, app transitions. Show us a piece.

• You've shipped something with AI tools: a coded prototype, a component, a pull request.

• You care about the words on the screen as much as the pixels.

• Accessibility is part of how you design, not a pass at the end.

A plus

• Front-end code (React, Tailwind) or SwiftUI.

• 3D, spatial or AR design.

• Deep experience in After Effects, Premiere, Remotion or similar.

• Brand, campaign or product marketing design.

• Email design.

• Print and packaging.

• Consumer products where emotion matters. Our customers are looking at their parents' wedding.

• You're in or near Chattanooga, or happy to visit regularly.

How we work

• We put structure behind our goals. Each quarter has a few clear goals, each with an owner and a number to move, broken into outcomes we can land in weeks. Owners come from across the team, and that can be you.

• We ship small and often. Every launch comes with its rollout: who needs to know, what support will say, and how to stop it.

• AI is how we work. Agents do a lot of the building. People own the judgment: what to build, whether it's right, and how it lands.

• We're evolving on purpose. How a small team works with AI is changing fast, and so are we. We try new ways of working, keep what helps, and drop what doesn't.

• We work like professionals. Plans and decisions are written down where anyone can find them. We collaborate across roles, say the hard thing early, ask for help, and follow through.

• Remote, with time together. We're spread across the US and get together in Chattanooga a few times a year, including time at our digitization facility.

Where this goes

This role starts above entry level, with a path to Senior, Staff and Principal Designer. You move up by what you own and ship, not by years served.

Interview process

• Intro call with Adam (30 min). Your work, our work, and how you use AI today.

• Work sample (a few hours, on your time). A small piece of real work in your craft, plus one piece outside it. For this role that's usually a flow design with a short motion piece, plus one coded component. Use whatever AI tools you use every day. We'll ask how you checked the output.

• Deep dive (60 min). Show us what you designed and built, and why.

• Final round. Meet the team. Depending on where you are, that's in Chattanooga (we cover travel) or on video, and sometimes a paid trial day of real work.

About 5-8 hours over 2-3 weeks.

How to apply

We’ll ask you to show us something you built with AI in the last three months that's outside your main craft.

Compensation & benefits

• Competitive salary based on the scope of responsibilities you’re qualified to be assigned.

• Health insurance: medical, dental and vision, with 100% of the employee premium covered

• 401(k) matching

• PTO, and we actually want you to use it

• Remote work from anywhere in the US

• Professional development: conferences, courses, books

• MacBook Pro and the gear you need

• Quarterly team offsites

• Free cGr3Kq8xY service for your own family's memories
