Creative Designer at Hera (YC S25)
We're building the AI-native creative canvas.
About Hera
- Hera is the AI-native creative canvas. You generate images, design and animate on one canvas. You direct multiple AI agents at the same time and stay in control with editable layers.
- You never have to leave the board. Drop in a reference, brief an agent and push the idea further without breaking your flow. Every generation comes as editable layers, like any design file.
- With Hera you can play with AI: generate many results, compare them, iterate and edit what you like.
- Over 1.2 million people have signed up for Hera to make launch videos, explainers, ads and social posts.
- The founders: Peter Tribelhorn (CEO) built YouTube channels with 50B+ views. Chia-Lun Wu (CTO) was one of the first developers at Vyond and built their video editor, which 20,000 businesses use today.
About the Role
- You'll create really good content with Hera every week (2 to 3 pieces) and push the limits of what AI can design. We use your work to show our users what they can create with Hera.
- The work will be very diverse. You won't always follow the same workflow, and you won't always do the same thing. One week it's a set of static ads, the next it's a launch video or something nobody has made with AI before.
- That's why we're looking for a generalist who can create very different things and has good judgment in general. The role includes:
- Come up with your own ideas and take on what the team needs
- Create static and motion ads with Hera for our own marketing
- Start every piece with good context: the brand kit, product shots and references from other top brands
- Test every new model and feature first and see how far you can take it
- Keep your boards well organized, with sections and notes for the prompts, so we can see how you got each result
- Turn your best work into tutorials, use-case pages and emails
- Be our toughest user: tell us where the results aren't good enough yet, so we can make Hera better
What Makes You a Great Fit
- You have great judgment. You see what's off in a design right away, and you can say why and fix it
- You know the rules of design. You understand layout, typography, color, and hierarchy really well
- You have work you're proud of. Could be from an agency, an in-house team, or your own projects
- You have a growth mindset. We're small today, but building something huge. To grow the company, each of us needs to grow personally
- We hire for slope. Anywhere from 0 to 6 years of experience is fine. What matters is how fast you get better
You're NOT a Good Fit If
- You need someone to tell you what to create
- You need weeks to finish one piece
- You lack curiosity or the hunger to learn
You think AI is just hype
- Why Hera?
- We're building this team like Real Madrid: small, elite, with each person being a superstar. We believe we can reach $100M ARR with less than 20 people. As our Creative Designer, you'll have:
- €50k to €70k a year for full-time (part-time and freelance work too)
- Build a product used by thousands daily
- The chance to redefine how millions of people design
- Office in Berlin Mitte (1 minute from Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz)
- All meals on us (we serve lunch and dinner 6 days a week)
