Staff Designer (Remote US)
About the role
THE ROLE:
You're someone who can move between brand and product without losing resolution on either. You understand that a visual identity and a product interface are the same conversation: one shapes what people believe, the other shapes what they do. Kits is Splice's AI vocal creation product, a tool that lets producers generate, transform, and clone vocals without a singer in the room. It's technically strong and growing fast. We have a real opportunity to refresh the brand and build a product experience that makes our ML capabilities feel clear and easy to use. You're joining a small, focused team where you'll own the brand and the product surface, partnering directly with the GM and engineering from day one. You'll be in the details and helping set the direction at the same time.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
- Refresh the Kits brand. The product is evolving from a vocal processing tool into a complete AI vocal creation suite. The brand needs to reflect that. You'll define the new visual identity, ensure it holds up in context with the Splice family, and bring it to life across product and marketing surfaces.
- Design the AI vocal creation workflow. The core Kits experience spans vocal generation, transformation, and cloning — a stack that producers currently piece together across multiple tools. You'll design the end-to-end workflow that collapses that process into something that feels both powerful and inevitable. Every step needs to be clear, controllable, and made for producers.
- Make ethical AI visible. Kits' commitment to licensed, ethically sourced voice models is a genuine differentiator. That commitment needs to be felt in the product, not just stated in the marketing. You'll design the guardrails, disclosures, and trust signals that make a producer confident in what they're using and why.
- Design for multiple surfaces. Phase one is the web product. Phase two is a VST plugin, desktop app, and improved mobile experience. You'll think across these contexts from the start, designing in a way that scales without starting over.
- Own the product's marketing and growth surfaces.
