Raylu is the AI research platform for private equity, helping investors find better deals and make sharper decisions. We're pushing the boundaries of what AI can do for research and rethinking what great interaction with AI should actually feel like for serious, data-heavy work.
The product is complex and there's a lot on our plate. The people who thrive here are the ones who get energized by that.
Visual design touches everything outward-facing at Raylu: the marketing website, social, decks, and the brand itself. This isn't a "make one graphic and call it a day" role. You'll be embedded in the team, shipping real work every week, and working directly with our Founding Product Designer and Head of Growth to shape how Raylu looks and feels to the outside world as we scale.
Expect messy workflows, spontaneous asks, and a direct line into how brand and marketing decisions get made at a fast-growing startup.
Marketing website: design and build pages in Framer, and help improve SEO
Motion design: animation for the website, social, and brand moments
Graphic design: social posts and marketing assets
Deck design: sales, pitch, and presentation decks
Brand: help maintain and evolve the Raylu brand as we grow
Two areas we'd love help with, and will weigh heavily:
Brand skills for AI agents: teach our AI agents to produce on-brand decks and social posts
Copywriting: writing for the website, social, and campaigns
Mostly the Head of Growth, Founding Product Designer, and Product Designer. Regularly with Sales, the Chief of Staff, and the Head of People. Design is collaborative here, so in practice you'll work with everyone.
Must-haves
A portfolio with strong visual and brand design work
Skilled in Framer — you'll build real pages on our marketing site
Motion design skills (After Effects, Rive, or similar)
Clear communicator, in writing and in meetings
Self-directed and proactive: once you have the scope, you run with it. Comfortable with ambiguity — this is a startup, not a structured program
Curious and honest about what you don't know. You ask questions and dig in
Loves dogs (we have two puppies in the office)
Nice-to-haves
Experience setting up AI agents to produce on-brand work
Marketing copywriting samples in your portfolio
Working knowledge of SEO
Already using AI tools in your design workflow
Interest in finance, PE, or research tools
Real surface area: your work is the first thing every investor, candidate, and partner sees
Talent density: small, senior, mission-obsessed team — big scope, zero bureaucracy
Speed: ship fast, with direct lines to leadership and no approval chains
A category moment: AI is rewiring how private markets do research, and the brand for it is still being built
