Claude Code is meaningfully changing the roles we hire for @browsercompany, and what’s newly possible with the people we already have. We have designers putting up PRs left and right, non-engineers prototyping their own ideas, and engineers getting the leverage to try more experimental work (that often ends up working!) without negatively impacting the main things they’re on the hook for. In short, thanks to Claude Code, we’re running more experiments and learning faster. It feels like our entire team just got personal e-bikes to explore and paint with code. I know this sounds a little hype-y, but I’m sharing for other founders: Yes, AI thinkbois are annoying on X and it’s mostly noise, but this one is real. If you don’t work Claude Code-native ASAP your team’s going to get left behind (like fully embracing a mobile-native product in the early 2010s). We’re still grappling with what this will change about how we work and hire, but a few things are clear at @browsercompany going forward: - Compensation & talent bar. We will pay a premium for exceptional talent, especially people who are native to the Claude Code way of building. - Perks & processes. We will treat our teammates like a record label treats its artists: our job is to get them into flow, keep them in flow, and help more of their ideas ship. - Creative ambition & freedom. We will do fewer things as a company, but with a breadth and depth within those things — and tolerance for risky bets — that wasn’t previously possible. This also means hiring for new types of roles — to define, design, and oversee this new way of working. That’s why we’re opening a new “Design Producer” role. Someone to lead coordination for all of our product work on @diabrowser. The JD is now live on our jobs page, but the TL;DR is: you’ll coordinate the work of our world-class design team (and other creative collaborators). Especially how our product leaders and their work intersects with (a) other functions internally and (b) collaborators externally. It’s a “come run the record label” and “design the recording studio” role. Help us figure out how an AI-native design team runs, especially one that feels like you’re working with classmates on a creative studio project in college than tech company. The best part of this opportunity are the people you’d be working with. It’s a star-studded crew to learn from, empower, and collaborate with every day. Our designers built the original Medium product, headed up software design for Tesla, led Apple’s Safari browser, and were responsible for some of your favorite features in WhatsApp. Finally, this new “Producer” role is roughly modeled on Apple’s producer discipline. We’re eager to meet design leaders who want to try something more creative, newly-challenging, and IC-Y; or very senior designer ICs who want to coach and collaborate without intense people management. If this sounds interesting, please apply via the JD on our site, or reach out to @dustin or me (my DMs are open here).. You’ll work most closely with the two of us and @tfeener. Our ambition is for Dia to be a person’s primary workspace on their desktop computer. More importantly, we want to design our dream place to work for the next decade. Come help us shape it?
