Ambitious Ui/ux Designer

At Circleup, we're connecting people in person - offline - by simplifying the process of scheduling a meet-up and booking a place at your favorite restaurant in your city within a few seconds.
Minimum effort spent on scheduling, choosing time and deciding a place to meet.
\-
- At this point, we are self-financed and at a pre-product-market-fit stage.
Getting people to meet offline - in person is very hard. There should be clear incentives for both people or a group of people to agree to meet. Many variables such as the current mood, emotions, interests, and desires must be taken into consideration while designing Circleup user experience with the highest ethics.
We aim to keep the team as small as possible. No product owners. You are your own PM. You will directly engage with the team and users, incorporate feedback, and see your work through to production.
We encourage a deep understanding of our software architecture and business logic, enabling you to make informed decisions and valuable contributions across the entire product ecosystem.
Therefore, we make an effort to not limit the scope of one person's work. You will be encouraged to bring up your own ideas on new features, and treat them like a science experiment with users: observation
- research
- hypothesis
- experiment design
- experimentation
- data analysis
- conclusion interpret
- communication
- refinement.

- By joining Circleup, you are taking a risk.
You can get paid significantly more in cash somewhere else.
You can work on other projects that are on a more defined path to generate profit.
At Circleup, we will always be wrong about our assumption on which feature will work & bring more users.
Our goal here is to be continuously less wrong.
Therefore, we will non-stop iterate with as many versions of the product as possible and pivot when necessary, with the single KPI being that people meet each other in person more often, and in doing so, the process of making that happen is as simple and convenient as possible, which is what Circleup will help with.

- Circleup increases the efficiency of maintaining your relationships/network. Unlike individually having to think about whom to meet again and doing the inefficient communication ping-pong to figure out when and where to meet, circleup automates to reduce manual work.
You will save time, reduce your mental workload, and get more quality time with people you know and like. As a result, you will be better connected and happier.
