👋 Hi, I’m Jonathan. I formerly founded Timehop, the company that invented digital nostalgia. I'm an experienced consumer founder, fundraiser, product leader, and team builder. I've started three companies, raised $17M, hired dozens of people, and worked at Snapchat and Tinder 👻🔥

Wayback Labs is my newest company, focused on the intersection of AI and personal photos. This blog post perfectly sums up the opportunity.

We're looking for an ambitious and creative founding designer to join our ~4 person team! We're funded but pre-launch, so truly a ground floor opportunity for the right person.

Only open to folks based in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, or a short flight away -- we believe in-person jam sessions are crucial at the earliest stage of company formation! When you email us, please mention your favorite ice cream flavor. It helps filter out the less, uh, detail-oriented folks who haven't actually read this whole thing :)

Ideal archetype:

📱 experience designing consumer mobile apps

🎥 experience with rich media: photos, video, camera, audio

🚀 someone who’s shipped their own projects

🛠️ strong at UI, UX & prototyping — with bonus skills for animation & graphic design

🧠 plugged into modern design trends, memes, and TikTok culture

📍 Located in California (SF/LA/SD) or a quick flight away
