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

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)
