At Aalto, we believe that people deserve the freedom to live in the right place at the right time in a home that they love. Selling your home today is pretty terrible and together, we are building a solution that resonates with homeowners — with a 95 seller product-market fit score.
We are looking for a Lead Product Designer who is ready to design the future of residential real estate. Our Product Designers take a product, feature, or experience from ideation to production. This includes strategy, concept work, designing solutions, prototyping, bringing along cross-functional teams, overseeing implementation, and collaborating with other designers, researchers, product managers, and engineers.
Who you are:
- Deeply curious
- Obsessed with creating great experiences that begin with listening to customers
- You sweat the small stuff, caring about every interaction
- Have a portfolio of shipped work that you were directly responsible for designing
- Experience designing mobile
- Interested in and worked at early-stage companies
- Deeply familiar and opinionated about Jobs to be Done
- Secretly have always wanted to be an Imagineer
- 5+ years of Product Design experience
What you’ll do:
- Partner with Engineering and Product teams to ship meaningful product with a fast cadence
- Work across the Product Development spectrum: strategy, ideation, concept work, pixel-level details, prototyping, and front-end development and implementation
- Sit in and sometimes lead customer and non-customer conversations
- Advocate for new design-driven approaches and tools
- Dabble in occasional print and ad design when the Community team needs help
- Think deeply about the emotional state of the user at every step of our product journey
- Say “no” a lot so that we can say yes to the right things
- Interact with the founders, advisors, and (incredibly enthusiastic) end-users on a weekly basis, asking exceptional questions of each
- Learn more about real estate than anyone you know
- Have a ton of fun re-envisioning residential real estate from the ground up
