Founding Brand Designer & Art Director

Retell is building the new standard for automating call center communications, including sales, support, customer engagement, and retention calls. Backed by Altman Capital, Y Combinator, and top investors, we've raised a $4.7M seed round and hit $10M ARR in 15 months. Check us out on the Top Lean AI Native Companies Leaderboard at leanaileaderboard.com. Why This Company Every modern business runs a call center—whether it’s to support customers, confirm appointments, or close deals. But traditional call centers are expensive, hard to scale, and painful to manage. AI changes everything. At Retell AI, we’re building the full-stack AI call center platform. A single solution that replaces legacy IVRs, offloads agent workloads, and delivers humanlike conversations at scale. With fast response times, smart interruptions, real-time integrations, and an intuitive dashboard, Retell helps businesses deploy voice agents that just work. We’re growing fast. We are now 14M ARR with only 12 people. Now it’s time for the brand to match the product—and that’s where you come in. We’re aiming for a brand that’s as iconic and thoughtful as Clay, ElevenLabs, Figma, Apple, and Ada.cx. If that gets your heart racing, read on.
