About Basis

Basis builds real agents that do real work in the real economy. Our agents operate for hours at a time, performing end-to-end work for some of the largest accounting firms in the world.

We recently raised $100M at >$1B valuation and are racing to deploy the most advanced applied ML at production scale.

Our investors include: Khosla Ventures (Keith Rabois & Vinod Khosla), Accel (Miles Clements), Google Ventures, Nat Friedman & Daniel Gross, Adam D'Angelo, Jeff Dean, Jack Altman, Noam Brown, Kyle Vogt, Amjad Masad, Clem Delangue and many other operators/technical leaders.

"Basis is on the frontier of building production-grade, long-horizon agents. They've pushed the limits of what we thought our models could do on real-world, economically valuable, complex accounting tasks. They've been a great collaborator in helping us shape what the future of agents looks like." — Prashant Mital, Applied AI Lead, OpenAI

About the Role

Basis is looking for a founding brand designer to own how our brand shows up in the world. You'll turn an ambitious company and category narrative into a visual identity that people recognize, trust, and remember.

Basis is positioned to become one of the leading agent labs, so the brand carries two loads: a customer brand and a technical brand. Both have a good baseline. Neither has been pushed as far as it should go. The customer brand also has to carry multiple go-to-market motions, each with a different buyer and different needs, so range matters as much as consistency. This is a wide open brief.

We're building agents that change how accounting work gets done. The brand needs to make that future feel clear, credible, and worth joining. You'll define the visual language that helps Basis stand apart from a crowded AI market without falling back on familiar AI tropes.

You'll shape the brand across our website, launches, campaigns, customer stories, visual assets, and recruiting. You'll move from concept to final file and make every touchpoint feel like one brand.

This is not a production-only role. You'll set the creative direction, challenge weak ideas, and bring a point of view on what modern B2B design should become. You'll also stay close to the work: design the page, build the system, ship the campaign.

You'll build the operating system for design at Basis: a flexible brand system, clear standards, reusable templates, and AI-enabled workflows that raise creative output without lowering the bar. You'll know where consistency creates leverage and where the work should break the pattern.

You'll partner closely with the Head of Marketing, PMM, Content, Demand Generation, Customer Marketing, Product, Sales, and Recruiting. As the company grows, you'll guide agencies, freelancers, and future designers, and protect the quality and coherence of the brand.

This is a high-ownership role for a designer who wants to build a consequential brand from the ground up. You'll need exceptional taste, strong business judgment, and the ability to turn ambiguity into a clear creative direction.
