Job Title: Head of Design

Salary: $200K - $250K + Equity

Company Description: Overtone – NYC AI dating startup from the founder of Hinge

Job Description:

As the founding Head of Design, you will define the entire visual and interactive soul of Overtone. Moving beyond the exhausted swipe model, you will use AI and voice-based tools to create a deeply personal, high-trust experience. You will own the product end-to-end, translating complex human emotions into intuitive, elegant digital interfaces.

Location: New York City, USA

Why this role is remarkable:

• Founding opportunity to build a 0-to-1 category-defining product alongside the visionary founder and former CEO of Hinge.

• Backed by Match Group, offering the unique combination of early-stage creative freedom with significant institutional support and resources.

• Shape the future of human connection by replacing mechanical swiping with intentional, emotionally resonant interaction models in a high-growth startup environment.

What you will do:

• Own the end-to-end design process, from high-level UX strategy and systems thinking to pixel-perfect UI execution and motion design.

• Partner directly with the founder and engineering to prototype, test, and ship a brand new interaction model for modern matchmaking.

• Establish Overtone’s visual identity and design language, ensuring the product feels safe, sophisticated, and instinctively trustworthy for users.

The ideal candidate:

• Proven track record of designing successful mobile-first consumer products, specifically those involving social connection or high-trust domains.

• Exceptional hybrid skills in both structural UX thinking and elite visual craft, including typography, layout, and interaction design.

• Entrepreneurial mindset with experience in 0-to-1 environments where you thrive on ambiguity and move quickly from building to thinking.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network. Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it. Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
