About
Governments and policymakers make decisions that shape millions of lives, but they still operate with slow research cycles, fragmented evidence, and expensive consultant reports that often arrive only after programs have launched. We believe AI can help public institutions make better decisions: faster, more evidence-based, more responsive, and more accountable to the people they serve.
Our platform helps public institutions synthesize evidence, simulate how policy choices may affect people, budgets, and outcomes before rollout, monitor real-world results, and continuously improve decisions over time.
We closed a $5.7M seed round earlier this year, led by Relentless, with participation from a16z speedrun, Liquid 2, Operator Collective, Entourage, Station F, Plug and Play and others. We are now scaling across the US and Europe and hiring founding team members to help build a new category at the intersection of AI, simulation, public policy, and institutional decision-making.

Job Description
The role
This is a hybrid role: part designer, part front-end engineer. We’re open to profiles that lean heavier in either direction, as long as you’re flexible and happy to both design and ship FE features to production. You'll work directly with the founders and have a real say in what we build and how it looks and feels.
Day To Day, You'll
- Produce designs in Figma
- Ship Frontend code
- Build and maintain our design system, so the rest of the team can ship quickly without things drifting
- Work directly with policy advisors, civil servants, or legal teams to translate their messy workflows into interfaces that feel obvious
- Prototype rapidly to test ideas with real users
- Set the visual and interaction language for the product
- Be involved with marketing and other design aspects of our company
