**About AirDev**

AirDev (https://www.airdev.co) was founded in 2015 to change how software is built.

For many decades, to build custom software, you had to know a coding language. Now, with no-code platforms like Bubble, you can build high-quality software products visually without writing a single line of code. This means that in the next few years, the number of people who will be able to create powerful software will grow far beyond the number of coders in the world.

We're building a software development agency and framework that reinvents how software is created. We’re one of the top software development agencies in San Francisco, and we’re looking for skilled UX designers to help bring our clients’ visions to life.

**Please note this is a part-time, contractor position.Who we’re looking for**

We value a mix of hard and soft skills, as well as alignment to our core values, in all of our people. We are looking for UX designers with the following skills and expertise:

*   **User Experience Design and User Interface Design**: You have at least 2 years of professional experience and take ownership of the entire product experience. You have an intuitive sense of what creates strong user experiences, and you have the design skills to create those experiences. You have built out highly detailed desktop and mobile experiences for custom software products using Figma. You empathize with clients and their users. You anticipate what their users might need to do and ensure the interface has elements that are easy to access.
*   **Information architecture**: You can manage complexity and clearly structure information. You can understand complex digital products and design interfaces that clearly organize required information. You know how to draw attention to the most critical pieces of information.
*   **Communication**: You’re an active listener and a great teammate. You aren't afraid to ask questions. You value and listen to feedback from others. You take extra care in your written communications to teammates and clients.

**Working at AirDev**

As a UX designer, your primary responsibilities will be to:

*   **Create high-fidelity UI designs for client products using Figma:** You'll design high-fidelity UI designs in Figma for client projects based on scope documents created by our Product Managers and Product Directors. Your role is vital, as your designs will shape the experience of each product before development officially begins.
*   **Leverage our robust design system, Canvas, to create these UI designs:** Canvas (https://build.airdev.co/canvas) is a modular design system that makes building designs lightning-fast. Your role will focus on leveraging Canvas assets as much as possible to create these high-fidelity designs. Once you’ve created the pages and selected the right Canvas components for your designs, you will make light to moderate customizations to those designs to meet the functionality and branding requirements defined in the scope document. Our design system is currently public as a free, Figma community file, and we use this system for all client projects.
*   **Iterate designs based on feedback:** You will work with a Product Manager and/or Product Director to refine your designs (when needed) for each client product before development officially begins.

Here are some of the benefits of working within the AirDev Partners program:

*   Accept offers to projects that work for you (as a contractor)
*   Work from wherever (20 countries and counting)
*   Grow with your clients (most extend beyond initial build)
*   Work with leading startups, non-profits, and enterprises
*   Collaborate with teammates and clients to help build the right products

**Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at AirDev**

AirDev is on a mission to make software development more accessible to diverse groups of people and organizations. We value diversity in our customers, partners and employees and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where we provide equal opportunities to all employees, partners and applicants without regard to race, religion, age, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, neurodiversity disability, or any other protected status under federal, state and local law. We strive to be a more equal opportunity workplace starting from our hiring and continuing in all parts of our organization.

Product Designer 3

Hi! 👋 I'm Chris, head of Product Design at Ashby. We're looking for a versatile, intrinsically motivated designer who is excited to contribute to rethinking how modern software is designed. At Ashby, you'll be part designer, part product manager, part consultant, and part design system manager (or some combination of the 4!). We do design differently here, and if that excites you, read on. Our unique approach is working - we're growing >100% year-over-year and have notable customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake. Our growth and retention metrics are best-in-class among our peers: we have tens of millions in ARR, very low churn, and many years of runway. We're backed by amazing investors like Y-Combinator, Elad Gil, Lachy Groom, and many more! We’ll share more details once we meet. How We Work In my previous roles, product teams always consisted of a product manager, a designer, and ~4-5 engineers. This may sound familiar to you! The product manager briefs the designer who then designs. After designing, mocks are handed to the engineers. We take a more principled approach here at Ashby. If you've been designing software enough, you'll realize in actuality, design is required in varying degrees on each project. Sometimes in the past, I'd be asked to design yet another settings page, when really all that was needed was an engineer to reuse existing components and just follow some documentation I had written. Other times, I felt I should effectively be the product manager and own a project from beginning to end. In these latter cases, it made sense that I was even the one providing project updates and managing resources rather than constantly being pinged by a separate product manager. This principled approach is now what we do here, and it is part of what has allowed Ashby to take down incumbents in multiple verticals all at once. We don't settle for the status quo—we actively resist reversion to the mean. Currently, I report to Benji, the co-founder & CEO. Both Abhik and Benji (our founders) care deeply about design, which at first glance may seem counterintuitive given the number of full-time designers that we employ. The belief is not that design is unimportant, but rather that it should be owned by the product team collectively, not solely by a group of full-time designers who happen to have the job title. The design _**department’s**_ job at Ashby is not to make every single design decision but to equip our entire product team to make better decisions themselves, as well as edit decisions that PMs/Engineers choose to make. That, while tackling the biggest design challenges ourselves. Separate from design, you may also be excited by the fact that we maintain a near seed-stage-like culture with fuzzy lines between functional roles, as much autonomy as you can handle, and a focus on IC-work with an almost-no-meeting culture. While you get the product-market fit and scale of a growth-stage startup, you also get the agency and no-nonsense, no-red-tape culture of a seed-stage startup. What We’re Building Talent teams aspire to build a hiring process that identifies great candidates, moves them quickly through the interview process, and provides an excellent experience for the candidate. To accomplish this, recruiters perform thousands of daily tasks to coordinate and relay information between candidates, interviewers, and hiring managers. Teams struggle to keep up! Scheduling a final round is an excellent example of our customers' challenges. A recruiter needs to collect availability from the candidate, identify potential interviewers, perform “Calendar Tetris” to find who is available to interview the candidate, schedule on the earliest date possible, and perform any last-minute adjustments as availability changes. They must perform this while considering the interview load on each individual and whether interviewers need to be trained and shadowing others. Ashby provides talent teams with intelligent and powerful software that provides insights into where they’re failing and automates or simplifies many of the tasks they’re underwater with. We put a lot of effort into designing products that are approachable to beginners but mastered and extended by power users. In many ways, spreadsheets set the bar here (and are what we often replace!). Why you should or shouldn’t apply **Your Qualifications**

*   4+ years of product design experience in desktop SaaS.
*   Able to think from first principles instead of simply applying the “standard” UX processes.
*   Can break down complex user problems by asking questions that narrow down the solution space.
*   Enough experience that your intuition can solve many usability problems without having to rely solely on data & metrics or conducting user research.
*   Curious & resourceful enough to come up with creative solutions and de-risk them appropriately.
*   Strong skills in layout, navigation, IA, UI, and interaction design.
*   Strong visual design skills and obsession with craft & details.
*   As a bonus, you have experience at an early-stage startup or have spent time as a solo designer on a team.

You may want to apply if you’re excited about:

*   Creating leverage and impact far and above what you'd see in a typical EPD product team structure. You won’t be a cog in the wheel, the wheel is not very big!
*   Getting to work on all parts of a massive product surface area - spanning many user types, JTBDs, usability challenges, etc. Unlike in other organizations, you won’t be stuck working on one problem for many years.
*   Helping reinvent the design model for modern enterprise software—you don’t have to build wireframes, user journeys, personas, etc. What matters is solving a customer’s problem; what tools you use are up to you.
*   Covering all parts of the design process with a focus on design craft. You'll still be doing the occasional user research interview but will be focused on using heuristics & experience to improve our IA, navigation, interactions, UI patterns, and more.
*   Helping build our design system from (almost) the ground up.

**Conversely, You May Not Want To Apply If**

*   You feel uncomfortable designing independently without much guidance from a PM or design management.
*   You’re uncomfortable having your decisions and process being challenged constantly by engineering & product.
*   You prefer an in-person role over remote (Ashby operates remotely).
*   You dislike written documentation.
*   You want a set structure and rhythm to your projects.

*   PM gives you a brief, you do wireframes, then mocks, then pass off work to engineers. Rinse and repeat.

*   You prefer a narrow job scope - interaction design only, design system only, etc.

**On a Weekly Basis You Will Find Yourself**

*   Consulting for engineers who need help structuring layout, typography, flows, etc.
*   Digging into problems by consulting GTM, talking to customers, asking for data requests, and more in order to present confident assumptions about your proposals.
*   Using Figma to draw out your ideas and create visual artifacts for stakeholder alignment.
*   Writing specification docs (we call them specs!) that detail your design proposals. These documents are meant to get stakeholder alignment on the biggest decisions you want to make and are a core part of how we work at Ashby.
*   Taking ownership of larger product features and thinking through Jobs-To-Be-Done, navigation, information architecture, layout, interaction, etc.
*   Taking in customer feedback and using heuristics to build your own usability backlog and propose projects for engineers to take on.
*   Consolidating and refining our design system to be functional, aesthetic, and best-in-class.

Interview Process At Ashby, Our Team And Interview Process Want To Help You Show Your Best Self. We’ll Dive Into Past Projects And Simulate Working Together And Talking Through Decisions. Our Interview Process Is Four Rounds With Some Casual Zoom Coffee In Between To Get To Know Each Other

*   30-minute introduction call to discuss Ashby and your experience
*   45-minute portfolio review
*   90-minute design exercise & portfolio review (45m each). Portfolio review is a repeat but with different team members. The exercise can be a take-home or a live whiteboarding exercise, whichever you're more comfortable with!
*   A virtual on-site of roughly 2 hrs. This will include meeting the team and a product teardown.

I'll be your main point of contact and prepare you for interviews. You’ll meet other engineers and product managers as well (with 15 minutes in each interview to ask them questions). If we don’t give an offer, I'll provide feedback as to why (I'm serious!). **Benefits**

*   Competitive salary and equity.
*   10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby —do it when you feel financially comfortable. This is one of the reasons I joined personally - not a lot of startups do this.
*   Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year. Expect “Vacation?” in our one-on-one agenda until you start taking it.
*   Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US. We plan to expand this to employees in other countries as situations arise.
*   Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive!
*   $100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval.
*   If you’re in the US, top-notch health insurance for you and your dependents with all premiums covered by us.

Ashby’s success hinges on hiring great people and creating an environment where we can be happy, feel challenged, and do our best work. We’re being deliberate about building that environment from the ground up. I hope that excites you enough to apply. Ashby provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce and welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and abilities.
