About this role
## Head of Design — Moonlake ### About Moonlake Moonlake is building the frontier of interactive world models—systems that generate, simulate, and reason over 3D environments for embodied AI, robotics, and gaming. We develop simulation infrastructure to build worlds (assets, scenes, digital twins) at scale. Our mission is to enable anyone to create, simulate, and interact with rich environments using natural language and multimodal inputs—turning simple ideas into worlds with structure, logic, and agents that can perceive and act. ### The Role Moonlake is seeking an **exceptional Head of Design** to shape how people interact with AI-generated worlds. This is a rare opportunity to define the UX for a new category of software at the intersection of **AI, simulation, and creative tooling**. You’ll work closely with researchers and engineers to translate cutting-edge AI capabilities into intuitive, elegant, highly interactive product experiences—owning design and implementation from rapid prototypes through polished production features. ### What You’ll Do - Design and build intuitive user experiences for AI-powered creative and simulation tools - Rapidly prototype new product concepts from idea to working implementation - Collaborate closely with AI researchers and engineers to bring frontier capabilities into production - Own product features end-to-end (interaction design, frontend architecture, and implementation) - Build interfaces that simplify complex workflows across world generation, simulation, and multimodal AI - Continuously refine the product through user feedback, experimentation, and iteration - Help establish the design language and product direction for an entirely new category of AI software ### What We’re Looking For - Exceptional product intuition and a passion for crafting polished user experiences - Strong frontend engineering experience with modern web technologies such as **React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS** - Experience designing and building products **from zero to one** - Ability to rapidly prototype ideas and iterate with minimal direction - Strong visual design skills and meticulous attention to detail - Comfort working across design, product, and engineering disciplines - Experience with AI products, creative tools, developer platforms, or simulation software (plus) ### Why This Matters The interface is the product. As AI systems become more capable, the challenge shifts from building better models to making those capabilities intuitive, accessible, and effortless to use. At Moonlake, you’ll define how researchers, developers, and creators interact with the next generation of AI infrastructure for simulation and Physical AI—shaping how new AI product categories are discovered, understood, and adopted. ### Location / Team - **On-site, in-person team** currently based in **San Francisco**
