Product Designer

OVERVIEW

At Aaru, we're building cutting-edge simulation engines that model the decisions and behaviours of individuals, groups, and entire populations. Your job as a designer is to turn these powerful tools into intuitive, beautiful products our customers love to use.

You'll work closely with engineering and growth teams to design interfaces that showcase insights, predictions, and outcomes — from simulating the behavior of a single politician to forecasting market responses to a new product launch.

Simulation design comes with unique challenges: How do you visualize an audience of matcha-drinkers in Brooklyn versus a national population of voters? How do you make these vastly different use cases feel part of one coherent experience? Solving problems like these — and building elegant, scalable design systems around them — will be at the core of your work.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design user experiences and interfaces for our simulation platform

• Create original, compelling data visualizations and charts

• Work with product and growth teams to turn user feedback into features

• Define a visual and UX approach to ensure simulations feel magical

REQUIREMENTS

• 3+ years of experience

• Willing to work in person in our office in New York, NY, 6 days a week

• Solid understanding of UX principles, including user research, journey mapping, and prototyping

• Familiarity with design systems and scaling UI/UX across multiple use cases

• Demonstrated ability to create custom data visualizations and translate complex information into clear, engaging visuals

• Comfortable collaborating with engineering teams and giving/receiving feedback in a fast-paced environment

• Flexibility to focus on UI/UX product design but also assist with graphic design and other design tasks

STRONG CANDIDATES MAY ALSO

• Have studied in visual design (B.A. or B.S. in visual, UI/UX, product design or similar)

• Have a strong but structured feedback style and a desire to challenge common intuition for how products should be built

• Be ex-founders or previously worked at an early-stage startup

• Have experience communicating with customers and ingesting feedback
