Are you ready to rock and roll?

Rivet’s story begins a few years ago, when one musician started to grow frustrated with how difficult it was to manage his growing fanbase.

This wasn’t a frustration that was felt by him alone. As he talked to other artists, it became increasingly clear that the world needed better solutions for artists to understand how to engage with their fans. Independent artists in particular struggle with learning to be their own manager, marketing, CRM, and more, while still having the time and space to do what matters most to them: making art.

This musician set out on a mission to bridge that gap for him and his fellow artists, so that they can focus on what they love to do most. He brought together a team to build that bridge with him, and Rivet was born.

We’re an ambitious and driven team of creatives from MIT and USC with backgrounds in entrepreneurship, machine learning, and music. We’re dedicated to progressing with persistence, limitless vision, and confidence in ourselves and our platform. Operating like a world championship team, we strive to create an environment where every team member at every level feels trusted and confident to take initiative, embrace uncertainty, bring their unique perspective to the table, and be a game changer.

Rivet is a black-owned, woman-owned company that values and deeply understands the importance of inclusivity and empathy, both within the team culture and reflected in our product experience. Above all, we strongly believe in the power that comes from each person’s own creativity, unique experiences, and ideas, and we’re excited to harvest that magic to create an incredible experience for users.

Rivet is looking for an experienced designer who is passionate about turning complex problems into simple, engaging user experiences. As the lead product designer, you will be responsible for developing and executing the company's design strategy and vision. You will work closely with the product, engineering, and marketing teams to create intuitive, user-friendly features that meet the needs of our users.

You will be responsible for defining and driving the design direction of the company, as well as ensuring that all design work is consistent with the company's brand and values.

We’re a hybrid team that is building in downtown Chicago.
