JOB TITLE: Staff Designer  LOCATION: US Remote 

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. Kits' site and acquisition funnel are part of your scope. The landing page, onboarding flow, and subscription experience all need to hold together with the same quality as the product itself.

Set the design foundation. There is an existing system, but it’s ready to get an overhaul. You'll build the components, patterns, and documentation that let the team move faster over time. 

Use AI-native tools. Cursor, Claude, or similar tools are a standard part of your design and prototyping workflow.

JOB REQUIREMENTS: 

You have 10+ years of product design experience with meaningful work in both brand and product. Your portfolio shows that you operate at the same level of craft in a visual identity system as you do in a complex product workflow. 

Your portfolio demonstrates exceptional craft. The work shows a refined eye, strong visual judgment, and execution that doesn't cut corners. You care about how things feel, not just how they look. 

You are already using AI-native tools as a standard part of your workflow. Cursor, Claude, or similar are natural to you. This is a baseline expectation in the world we operate in today.

You've operated as a sole designer or worked in a small team where you owned a broad scope and shipped anyway. You don't wait for perfect clarity. You move, communicate, and adjust. You're the one who raises the design bar on the team.

You're comfortable with ambiguity at the product level and precise at the execution level. You can hold a strategic conversation about what Kits should be and then show the team what that means. Both matter here.

You work well with PMs and engineers. You don't wait for perfect specs. You communicate with precision and give feedback that makes the work better. You're switched on enough to see what needs fixing and honest enough to name it.

NICE TO HAVES:

Genuine love of music and creator culture. You understand what it feels like to chase an idea, to need a vocal that doesn't exist yet, to reach for tools that help you finish the song.

Experience designing for audio tools, music software, or creator products. You know the vocabulary and the expectations of this audience.

Front-end fluency. HTML, CSS, React. You can read code, write simple interactions, and talk through complexity with engineers.

Experience designing subscription or freemium experiences. You've been inside both the metrics and the psychology of a creator deciding whether something is worth paying for.
