Conductor are hiring a
Founding Product Designer
About Conductor
Were a small, in-person team in San Francisco building the first AI orchestrator. Conductor lets you run a team of coding agents on your Mac. We launched a few months ago, and are now used by engineers at leading companies like Linear, Vercel, Notion, Stripe, and Y Combinator. One user told me:
A huge amount of my work now is wildly parallelized, in a way Ive never had to worry about before. Its been a while since a dev tool has changed my life like Conductor did.
Were on a mission to build the human interface to AI organizations. Our team is small but growing. Come join the co-founders and jump into an exciting space where you can do the best work of your life. No AI experience needed, just some enthusiasm for the awesome alien power of LLMs.
