What we are building at Conveo \Conveo is the AI research platform enabling fast, affordable, and high-quality consumer / B2B research. Global brands like Unilever, Google, and Orange use our AI video interviewer to generate insights across marketing and product teams. \Our team has the combination of decades of market research knowledge, incredible engineering ability, and experience building companies. \nTo keep our quality bar incredibly high, we want to execute with the smallest possible team.\You will own how design works at Conveo. You design the system, set the standards, decide what ships, and run the day-to-day.
