Product Designer

About Krea

At Krea, we are building next-generation AI creative tools.

We're dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives - our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it. We believe AI is a new medium that allows us to express ourselves through various formats - text, images, video, sound, and even 3D. We're building better, smarter, and more controllable tools to harness this medium. We recently took this a step forward with the launch of Krea 2, our first foundation model, built completely from scratch for aesthetic diversity and stylistic control.

We've raised over $83M and are backed by world-class investors such as a16z, Bain Capital, and Abstract. We work full-time and in-person at our waterfront office in San Francisco. We care about creativity: our team includes musicians, designers, visual artists, and engineers.

This role

Krea is building a creative platform for exceptional artists, designers, and studios to realize ambitious visions that were previously impossible or prohibitively time-intensive.

UI/UX design is essential to what we do: Artists can only get the results they desire if they can control our models in highly nuanced but intuitive ways, and this requires inventing brand new types of interfaces and UX patterns that make this powerful new technology approachable.

We're looking for a Product Designer to play a core role in all aspects of our UI/UX, ranging from refining our design system to conceiving of brand new experiences entirely.

What you'll do

• Develop and extend Krea's design system: components, styles, tokens, documentation

• Craft polished, production-ready UI specs for engineering

• Work closely with product leadership and engineers to ship quickly and ensure quality

• Design completely new types of creative interfaces to give artists unprecedented control over a wide library of different AI models

• Make complex AI workflows feel simple

What we're looking for

• 2–3+ years of UI design experience, ideally with startup exposure

• Figma mastery—you should be a 10/10. Deep fluency in styles, variants, auto-layout, component architecture, and design system maintenance

• Obsessive attention to detail. Meticulous, organized, craft-driven. We need someone who can work through all the edge cases

• Solid grasp of user flows, interaction patterns, and UX fundamentals

• Deep interest in and experience using AI creative tools. For example, you should know what LORAs are and have a good sense of how to prompt models well. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about this space and wants to play a role in shaping it

Your portfolio should show

• Systematic thinking: component libraries, style guides, design systems you've built or maintained

• Precision: clean, well-organized Figma files with clear specs

• End-to-end UI work: flows, states, edge cases—not just hero screens

What we offer

• Team: Work alongside a world-class team building the future of AI creative tooling

• Impact: Significant scope and company-wide impact

• Competitive compensation: generous salary & equity packages

• Health & wellness: 100% health & 99% dental/vision insurance premiums covered for employees, health FSA accounts, & long-term disability coverage

• Time off: Flexible PTO policy

• Financial planning: 401k with a 4% company-sponsored match

• Meals in the office: breakfast, lunch, dinner - you name it, we'll cover it

• Transit: Ubers covered to & from the office

• Sponsorship: We're open to sponsoring international visas where we can (e.g., STEM OPT, OPT, H-1B, O-1, E-3).

• And more!
