Overview

Matic is bringing families out of the stone age of remarkably dumb disc home robots. Humanity spends ~2.5 trillion hours annually on home chores, worth $25 trillion in wasted economic value. We are on a mission to recapture this time and value with fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable Wall-E-esque home robots that families love and cannot fathom their lives without.


Our approach
In 2017, we observed 200+ self-driving car startups and an equal number of industrial robotics startups, but the home autonomy and robotics space had been dramatically overlooked. While AI is becoming more ubiquitous, families are still stuck spending dozens of hours per week on repetitive household chores.

At Matic, we're leveraging advanced technology to address this problem. We've started by reimagining our first product in fully autonomous floor-cleaning robots. Just like consumers adopted Cell Phones, then PDAs, then iPods and Blackberries before adopting the iPhone to replace all, we believe that consumers will adopt single-purpose, elegant, and affordable robots that belong and become part of their homes first before we get one-robot-to-rule all chores.

Our goal is to continue automating other forms of household labor, shipping useful, affordable, and privacy-first robots to our users that solve real problems while building iteratively toward more complex tasks and capabilities over time.

Privacy first

Our robots are also private by design, with all the computes on the edge device. We believe that families shouldn't have to jeopardize their privacy just to get some help with the constant drudgery of home chores.

Who we are
We are a consumer robotics product company solving real customer problems. We start with a problem, think of an elegant solution in the form of robots, and conduct necessary research to build products that just work. We believe families want solutions to their problems, and AI & robots enable us to solve them.

Who we are NOT
We are NOT a Robotics Foundation Model research lab, a humanoid builder, or a robotics software platform company. We build fully autonomous, useful, elegant, and affordable Wall-E-esque robotic products that kids, pets, and families love!

About the role

We’re looking for a UX Designer to support our growing app experience. You'll collaborate closely with our lead designer, engineers, and leadership team to improve usability, design new features, and evolve the overall customer journey. This is a rare opportunity to work hands-on across the product lifecycle—from wireframes to visual polish—while contributing to a physical + digital product in the robotics space.

What you’ll do:

  • Design intuitive, thoughtful app experiences, including feature flows, onboarding, and UI refinements

  • Create wireframes, user flows, mockups, and lightweight prototypes (primarily in Figma)

  • Help maintain and evolve our design system for mobile (iOS/Android), ensuring consistency and usability

  • Collaborate with engineering to ensure high-quality implementation

  • Support user research efforts and turn insights into actionable design improvements

  • Contribute to support- and marketing-facing UX moments (e.g. in-app messages, setup flows, empty states)

What we look for:

  • 0–2 years of experience in UX, product, or interaction design (internships and bootcamp experience welcome)

  • Portfolio that shows clear thinking, good visual instincts, and real-world UX process

  • Proficiency with Figma, including working with components and design systems

  • Interest in interaction design and how motion, timing, and feedback improve usability

  • Basic understanding of usability principles and mobile platform patterns

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

  • Bonus: basic animation skills (especially using Lottie), or experience working on physical/digital products
