(New York)

Your mission: Define the future of the art experience.

For the first time in history, a large (and ever growing) percentage of the world’s greatest contemporary art will be freely and legally available to the public through a single platform—and all in high resolution format.

But how will the world experience and interact with this content in the future? We are looking for someone to answer that question with beautifully designed products and services that span multiple digital mediums such as web, mobile, and touch.

At Art.sy's core is the Art Genome Project, which uses artificial intelligence to create connections between works of art and help people discover new works and learn about art history. We are backed by Peter Thiel, Jack Dorsey, Eric Schmidt, Chris Dixon, Wendi Murdoch, Dasha Zhukova, and Thrive Capital.

We are looking for someone with the following qualities to join our team:

Required

• Strong interaction and product design skills
• A Human-Centered Design approach
• Humility, maturity, lack of ego, being a joy to work with
• Excellent visual design sensibility

Nice to have

• Contemporary art world knowledge
• Front-end coding experience

Why consider Art.sy?

• You will be our second designer, joining our Head of Design (who previously worked at IDEO, and whose past work includes The Future of the Book). At this early stage you will play a central role in defining our culture, platform, and its impact on the world.
• You will be expected to take ownership over large areas of our product and service offerings. 
• There are no set hours or holidays, no pointless bureaucracy. Work whenever you want, wherever you want.
• You will learn new things every day: from artificial intelligence to modern and contemporary art history.
• Our downtown Manhattan office has stunning 360 degree views of New York. You can see the horizon in all 4 directions, the iconic midtown and downtown skylines, the Hudson and East rivers.

Your Challenge

• Your designs must harness complex technology (high dimensional search, visual search, semantic search--to name just a few) within simple, intuitive, and beautiful interfaces. 
• You will face questions such as: How do we show connections between artworks to help people discover art they love? How can we educate users with different levels of art knowledge? How can we enhance the way people experience art in physical space through digital tools'

The Opportunity

• The art market is the last major industry yet to be disrupted by technology.
• We have partnered with over 250 of the largest galleries in the world and several major art museums.
• We envision a world where passion for art is just as common as it is for music today.

If you want to help us make that vision a reality, we would love to talk.

Employment includes full benefits, health insurance, top-of-market cash and equity compensation, Visa sponsorship, relocation, exciting travel opportunities (in the past we've flown the team to major art fairs in Basel, Switzerland and Miami).
