Product Designer - Founding Team

Aerotime is building a beautiful, fast, and goal-driven calendar that enables humans to be effective and not just busy. Read more on Aerotime's vision in the "why join" section.

You'll be dealing with the complexities of designing something from the ground up, helping humans achieve productivity goals like never before - keeping the product exceptionally intuitive and straightforward.

Complexities we face every day:

1. Limited canvas to enable actions like goal setting, dropping tasks, highlighting conflicts, recommending time slots for meetings while calling out how to create a healthy meeting, etc.
2. Doing all the above without compromising predictability, clean design, and user trust.

If you join us, you'll be a founding team member who helps define:

• Future company culture and principles
• Product and design practices
• People to hire
• The direction & focus of Aerotime's products

You are:

• Product Driven: You think backward from user experience and have a sense of building delightful products. You love listening to customer problems and building for them. You love problem-solving and enjoy figuring out solutions to challenging problems. Our projects are large with open-ended scope.
• Depth-first: You love breaking down a problem into smaller pieces and perfecting out smaller experiences to ensure the larger ecosystem runs smoothly. You're opinionated and have high conviction, making you go all-in and generate an increased sense of accountability.
• Team player: You appreciate documentation, feedback from peers/users, and collaborate via design discussions and low fidelity prototypes.
• Ethical: Principally, uphold best practices in engineering, security, and design.

Breakdown of interview rounds:

1. Preliminary conversation (30 min): This is where we understand your motivation to join an early-stage productivity company and look at some of your past work. Expect questions on why you took certain decisions in your existing designs.

2. Whiteboarding together (90 min): We will work on a problem together where you'll be expected to create prototypes out of a complex end-to-end workflow. The idea here is not to reach a perfect solution (we realize that can't be done in 1.5 hours) but to understand how to break down the problem and what kind of questions you ask.

3. Compatibility (60 min): One round with someone from the engineering team to see how you work with cross functions outside of product and design.

4. Product/Culture (90 min): Expect questions about product thinking and understanding what gives you joy in life.
