About the role Tasklet is building the AI platform companies use to run their business on agents. A customer describes an outcome in plain English, and Tasklet gets the work done across their tools and systems—immediately or in the cloud 24×7. We are building for real-world businesses, where making powerful agents simple, trustworthy, and easy to control matters just as much as making them intelligent. This creates a defining product-design challenge: inventing how people and teams work with AI that does real work, not merely chats. We're looking for a Head of Design Engineering to own that experience holistically—making the entire product simple, intuitive, and beautiful, then personally implementing most of it in production. This is an IC role, not a design-management role. You will work directly with our founders, customers, and engineers to decide how Tasklet should work, design it, and ship it. You will set the design bar for the company through your judgment, feedback, and example—not through process or a large team. We need someone who has built something real and meaningful from scratch, ideally as a founder. You should be an exceptional product thinker, designer, and frontend engineer. This is one of the highest-leverage roles at Tasklet, and we're willing to pay accordingly. Compensation

- Own Tasklet's product design end to end. Make the whole product feel simple, intuitive, coherent, and beautiful—not just individual screens or features.
- Build what you design. You will personally write production code and ship most of your work. There is no traditional design-to-engineering handoff.
- Invent the interaction model for AI work. Make powerful agents understandable and trustworthy across latency, uncertainty, permissions, errors, human handoffs, and recovery. There is no playbook; you'll write it. -...
