Fractional Designer (Mobile, Consumer)
Yaay
We're building the taste layer for the physical world: the app that knows what you actually love and turns it into places to go.
Today: See it. Save it. Do it.
- Spot a place on social, save it in one tap, and our AI finds the exact spot, pins it to your map, and helps you plan and book it.
- The app you open to go out in your own city with your friends, that inspires and pushes you into the world, and that truly feels social.
- AI is the engine, not the show. We use it heavily, but users don't need to know or care. It's hidden and helpful, never flashy for its own sake.
- We kill choice overload. People are drowning in options. We get them to the right one while feeling confident they're not missing something better.
- Complex inside, dead simple outside. Features can be intricate behind the scenes, but should always feel effortless to use.
- Convention over configuration. The common case is the happy path, with an escape hatch for when you need more control.
- Validate, but trust the vision. We test product decisions with real signals, and we hold our nerve on the long-term direction we believe in.
- Part-time (1.5 to 2 days/week) with the potential to grow into full-time as Yaay scales
- You'll work side by side with our founders, Christian (CTO) and Anders (CEO), reporting to Christian
