UI/UX Designer

This is an entry-level UI/UX Designer position in a highly-growing startup that is developing a document IDE for non-engineers.

BoostDraft is a software engineering company that develops IDE for documents. It was founded by MIT and Stanford grad students, developing an assisted document editor for documents. It is a new document editor that employs error checking, reference checking, and auto-completion using both a rule-based approach and NLP, like what coding editors/IDE (e.g. VSCode, Pycharm) do.
