Maestro is building the future of luxury travel: a member experience where world-class human advisors and AI agents work side by side to plan and execute extraordinary trips. They're an early-stage, Austin-based startup with top-tier VC backing and a team that lives inside modern AI tools every day. As founding designer, you'll own design end to end across product, brand, and everything in between — the mobile app, advisor touchpoints, internal ops interfaces, and the AI agents woven throughout.
Company: Maestro
Location: Austin, TX (Hybrid, Northwest Hills office, 3 days/week in-person)
Role: Founding AI Product Design Lead
Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful equity as founding design hire
What you'll own
Design product flows, interfaces, and interaction details for the consumer app, advisor tools, and ops workflows. Shape how AI shows up in the product by designing agentic and human-in-the-loop experiences that feel effortless and trustworthy. Own the brand: identity, site, decks, and all company touchpoints. Prototype and test with real members and advisors, iterating quickly. Run design review and hold the quality bar as the team ships. Set the design culture, systems, and quality standards future hires will inherit.
What makes a good fit
Senior or leadership-level experience at a startup, with the drive to run design without a playbook. A portfolio of shipped product work (not just concepts), especially consumer app design and operational backends. Comfort with complex internal workflows and polished consumer surfaces alike. Fluency with modern design and AI tools (Figma, Claude, and the latest developments), plus genuine excitement for AI-native experiences. Product-focused but able to flex into brand when needed. Speed and pragmatism — you ship and refine, rather than polish forever.
