Freeplay is hiring our first full-time product design role. As the "first of your function," you'll take the lead on product design execution and set the standards for product design principles & practices at Freeplay.

Why Freeplay?

Freeplay is building the end-to-end platform for software companies to ship great products with LLMs. We're helping leading companies adopt the latest AI technology as part of their customer-facing products.

Why does the world need Freeplay?

Making simple requests to ChatGPT is easy. But people quickly discover that developing production software with complex prompts and internal data is much more challenging — especially for teams lacking prior AI experience. They're motivated to move fast through the learning curve and ship great software to their customers.

Our platform streamlines this process — enabling teams to develop & improve production-ready features together quickly and confidently. We help product development teams save time, avoid costly mistakes, optimize new features for their customers, and collaborate together to deliver value to customers faster.
