About Smartcuts

Chrome extension to turn clicks & keystrokes into no-code automations

Tech

We use [ReasonML](https://reasonml.github.io/), [ReScript](https://rescript-lang.org/), [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/), [Vercel](https://vercel.com/), [GraphQL](https://graphql.org/), and the serverless db [Fauna](https://fauna.com/). Our choices come from a preference for strongly typed, functional languages and for serverless architectures -- choices that allow us to focus on the necessary, not the incidental, complexity of the problem space. Some of the interesting engineering and design challenges in this problem space? - How do you design a product that doesn't expose engineering concepts to users? - How can you design an algorithm that can reliably locate elements on a page, without asking the user to specify css selectors? - How can you leverage AI to automatically detect and extract structured records from a web page?

The role

We are building a new category of productivity software that brings automation to the masses and changes how people interact with the Internet. Smartcuts is a browser extension that aims to be the most intuitive way to empower anyone to automate repetitive work, on any website, without code ([1 minute video](https://bit.ly/3v7hHRp)). As you click and type, our technology turns your actions into automations that can be re-used and shared with the world. We're looking for our lead designer. Your responsibilities will center on product design. This includes: - Interviewing users and developing a comprehensive understanding of them and their problems. - Brainstorming and iterating on new concepts to bring to life. - Create an elegant design system and framework. - Generate user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups for our web app and extension. - Working with our engineering team to help ship these features. - Design and use the metrics we collect to inform how our product should evolve. Taking into account the entire product experience, you'll also work on projects that span: - Refreshing our brand and landing pages. - Crafting beautiful email templates. - Overseeing the production of product launch videos. In short, you will have an important hand in everything we do to craft our product, company, and brand. **What you can expect** - Work directly with the CEO daily to help steer the company and product vision over time. - Play a core role in developing the brand and identity of Smartcuts. - Take the reins of a user-centric design for the product.
