Required
A kind, hardworking and intelligent person :)
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
