Brand Designer

Exa is an applied AI lab building a search engine unlike the world has ever seen. We build massive-scale infra to crawl the entire web, train state-of-the-art embedding models to process it, and design super high performant vector databases to retrieve over it. We now power search for Cursor, Cognition, HubSpot, and over 400,000 developers and have raised $350m from Lightspeed, Benchmark, and a16z.

Our ultimate goal is to build perfect search over all the world's information, far beyond Google. If you want to build massive-scale ML systems that will define the way the new AI world consumes information, this is the place for you.

We're looking for a Brand Designer with strong visual taste to help shape a vibrant and technical identity.

Designers at Exa have broad creative license, and the freedom to create and lead new initiatives based on your best judgement. We expect a broad set of skills and the ability to create high-quality graphics and supporting assets. If you are a versatile designer who enjoys rapidly iterating on a variety of projects, this might be the right role for you.
