About the Company

Matterworks is building the foundation models that make biological "dark matter" legible. Our Large Spectral Models turn biochemical biology into something predictable and generative, embedding it at every stage of R&D.

Responsibilities

• Iterate at high velocity through sketching, Figma, and coded prototypes
• Craft high-polish final designs with strong typography, hierarchy, and interaction
• Build reusable components for the web app, MCP, and agentic surfaces
• Conduct user interviews and customer calls to understand scientist workflows
• Collaborate with PMs, engineers, and scientists to align on user needs

Requirements

• Portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of complex product surfaces and systems thinking
• Experience designing data-dense interfaces such as tables, plots, and dashboards
• Fluency in Figma and rapid-prototyping tools (Claude, v0, Cursor, or similar)
• Strong self-direction and ability to work independently
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias for shipping
• Ability to pair with engineers through implementation

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing AI-powered, agentic, or model-driven products
• Curiosity about scientific domains like mass spectrometry or omics
