About Tome
Our mission is to help anyone tell a compelling story, that's why we built Tome. It’s fluid, interactive, and connected to live data—an order of magnitude lighter-weight and more powerful than the tools you're used to.
The company was founded by Keith Peiris and Henri Liriani, product leaders from Instagram and Messenger. They wanted to apply what they learned about storytelling in everyday life to the space of communicating ideas and concepts, where little has changed for tools used by >1 billion people. Tome is backed by Greylock, Coatue, and founders + leaders at Zoom, Airtable, Notion, and Adobe.
About the job
Tome is building across a broad surface area, ranging from types of content you can use to express your work, to ways to collaborate with your team.
Despite the breadth, there’s a need to execute rigorously, with great depth and attention to detail in each area to build a world-class product. To scale that, the team is looking to hire a Product Designer to drive the team’s most important and complex projects.We’re looking for a Product Designer to explore and evolve the core product, enable storytelling through new types of content, and ensure a magical experience for people on the other end of creation in Tome.
