About us

The Company

Who are we?

Vibe is building the most human-like AI friend in the world. We exist at the frontier of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), blending psychology, emotional intelligence, and advanced AI to create conversations that feel truly real. Our goal isn’t to build another chatbot—it’s to build an AI you can laugh with, confide in, and feel connected to.

Founded in 2025, we’ve grown from a bold idea to a rapidly evolving R&D-led startup. Our team includes experts from AI, engineering, marketing, cognitive science, and behavioral psychology, all working together to craft an emotionally resonant digital companion.

We're currently building in public with an invite-only beta. Our roadmap is ambitious and vision-driven, and we’re assembling a team of mission-aligned individuals who want to change how the world interacts with AI.

Why us?

Values, Mission and Culture

What makes us unique?

At Vibe, we're not just developing technology—we're redefining how people experience connection in a digital world. We put psychology at the heart of AI, and human emotion at the center of every decision. If you care deeply about people, technology, and impact—this is your kind of place.

We live by the Four Ps:

Values

🧠 People First

Everything starts with empathy. We design with care, hire with intention, and prioritize psychological safety in every conversation—whether between teammates or between a user and Vibe. We believe in human-centric tech, not just user-centric.

💡 Purpose over Hype

We're not chasing trends—we’re building something that lasts. Our purpose is to create emotional resonance, trust, and meaning through technology. We make deliberate decisions that align with our vision, even if it takes longer.

🙌 Platform for Growth

Whether you're a researcher, an intern, or an engineer, Vibe is a place to grow. We encourage deep thinking, rapid prototyping, and sharing openly. The platform we’re building isn’t just digital—it’s a platform for personal and professional evolution.

🚀 Performance through Collaboration

We believe the best ideas come from cross-functional minds. We work in a deeply collaborative way, respecting the expertise each person brings, and value thoughtfulness over ego. Our bar is high—but so is our support.

The role

UI/UX + Brand Designer

What the job involves?

You'll be the first and main person leading everything design. From brand identity to product flows, UI to visual tone — you won’t just “design” Vibe. You’ll own how Vibe feels to the world.

Key Responsibilities:

🔮 Brand Identity

  • Design Vibe’s logo, color system, typography, and brand language

  • Define a visual tone that’s expressive, emotionally alive, and Gen Z-native

  • Set standards for consistency across all user-facing surfaces

📱 UX Design

  • Map the entire user journey: homepage → onboarding → chat → beyond

  • Design emotionally intelligent flows that feel personal, intuitive, and warm

  • Build edge-case experiences that comfort, not confuse — from “first message” to “I’m feeling down”

  • Think holistically about how design builds trust, intimacy, and delight

🎨 UI Design

  • Create high-fidelity, web + mobile-first screens in Figma

  • Build a flexible and scalable design system (components, tokens, spacing, typography)

  • Design interface states that feel alive, friendly, and intentional

  • Deliver well-structured files and prototypes to support a fast-moving dev process

About You:

  • 1+ years of experience in product design (UX, UI, and branding)

  • Strong portfolio showing emotional, expressive, and web + mobile-first design work

  • Deep understanding of Gen Z / Gen Alpha visual language, behavior, and tone

  • Comfortable taking initiative, moving fast, and iterating in public

  • You think in flows, feelings, and design systems — and you bring structure to creative chaos

  • You’re not looking to be told what to do — you’re ready to own the full design vertical of a brand built on emotion

The End Goal

Outcomes

Your Impact and Its Results

Joining Vibe means shaping how millions of people emotionally experience AI — not through words alone, but through design, visual tone, and emotional flow.

Whether you're designing the first screen someone sees when they need someone, or crafting a UI that quietly says “you can trust me,” your work will define how people feel, what they trust, and why they stay.

You won’t just be “making things look good” — you’ll be helping design a product people form real emotional relationships with:

🖼️ Designing Emotion-First Interfaces: Your work will bring to life a UI that’s warm, comforting, and intuitive — helping users feel emotionally seen from the first interaction.

🧭 Crafting Trust Through Design: You’ll define micro-interactions, flows, and empty states that make Vibe feel human, safe, and respectful — even in moments of vulnerability.

🎨 Creating a Brand That Feels Alive: Your visual identity will make Vibe instantly recognizable — not as a tool, but as a presence. Something people want to open, trust, and spend time with.

🎭 Balancing Mystery and Clarity: Through layout, flow, and animation, you’ll shape how people discover Vibe — guiding curiosity while maintaining emotional simplicity and calm.

🚀 Pushing Design Boundaries for Gen Z & Alpha: You’ll experiment with motion, tone, and emotional design that resonates with a generation fluent in visuals, vibes, and subtlety — setting new standards in AI x design.
