Required

Experience designing mobile apps, preferably at a previous startup

Experience working with SwiftUI

Your own side projects designed and built end-to-end (send them to me!)

Someone who tries to use AI tools for everything and realizes they can now individually get the work done which previously took 5 people to complete

Someone highly creative - I think a lot of UI best practices should be rethought and reinvented for voice AI apps

Experience working with and prompting AI models (at least to the extent of having a very good sense of what they can and can't do. Many of our features will have some LLM component and it is important for you to understand the action space in which you can ideate)
