About Tessl
Tessl is a Series A startup based in London, founded by Guy Podjarny who also founded dev-first security company Snyk.
At Tessl, we believe AI will fundamentally change the way software is developed, beyond short-term wins like code generation and bug fixing. As a result, we’re reimagining the software creation process to be truly “AI native,” enabling a whole host of ground-breaking improvements that we believe will transform our industry.
As an early member of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the future of how software is created and maintained.
Overview of role
As a Product Designer in our early team, you’ll be designing a product that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with LLMs and AI, leveraging new technologies to transform the way that developers work. You’ll be expected to bring a wealth of ambitious and novel ideas, experience working with AI and/or developer facing products, and the ability to ship your working ideas into production.
You’ll report to our Ben Galbraith, our Head of Product and Design, and you’ll collaborate closely with our Engineering and Product teams, who have a wealth of experience in delivering tools for developers that work at scale.
As an early member of our team, you’ll help us devise our strategy, design foundations, and brand. You’ll help keep us at the cutting edge of what’s possible as that rapidly evolves.
