Job Description

At Thread, we've set out to rethink the shopping experience from the ground up, helping people feel happier and more self-confident in the process. Using a combination of expert stylists and machine learning algorithms, we bring people a small, highly personalised selection of the perfect clothes just for them-in their size, budget and taste. By doing so we simplify the shopping process, help people to feel more comfortable in their own skin, and allow them go out into the world with a spring in their step. It also removes the need to spend Saturday afternoons frustrated by busy High Street stores, or spend ages browsing the overwhelming number of options available online. We believe having an intelligent assistant in your pocket is how the majority of people will shop in the future, and we're looking for a talented designer who wants to work at the intersection of design and AI to help bring this positive change to the world. Design at Thread We're a design-driven company and care about embedding design thinking to all parts of the company. We put a lot of time into ensuring we hire truly exceptional designers-not just people who can make pixels look pretty, but who think deeply about the underlying user needs and want to create something that actually solves their jobs-to-be-done. We're after people who have great taste, are constantly trying to improve, like living on the cutting edge, and want to be part of a team that pushes them to be better. We are thoughtful about building a productive and creative environment in which designers can thrive-this is something our founders Kieran and Ben care deeply about. The role We're looking for our second designer to join the team and immediately start working on our most important challenges. How do you blend humans and AI into a seamless experience?
