About Move AI

Move AI is on a mission to eliminate the chaos and stress traditionally associated with moving. We are developing an all-encompassing, customer-oriented product that seamlessly manages every aspect of the relocation process. This goes beyond simply facilitating the hire of dependable movers or assisting with address changes; our vision is to build a comprehensive solution that addresses every possible concern, providing our customers the peace of mind they need during their transitions.

We understand that moving isn't just about relocating physical items, it's about shifting lives. From finding a new place to live, engaging real estate agents, evaluating vendors for packing and transportation, to post-move services like housekeeping and gardening - every detail is meticulously managed with our platform. Our goal is to transform the moving process into a stress-free, enjoyable experience.

Harnessing the power of advanced AI and automation, we are not only enhancing the customer experience but also revolutionizing the marketplace as a whole. Our approach enables us to deliver a streamlined, hassle-free service, akin to booking an Airbnb. By intelligently coordinating highly-rated vendors and tasks, we are creating an efficient, transparent system that eliminates surprises and cuts costs. We're committed to making moving as simple as the click of a button.

About the role

We're seeking a Founding Product Design Engineer ready to assume substantial responsibilities in our early-stage startup. This isn't just another design role. As one of the initial hires, alongside the CEO and a Full Stack Engineer, you will help shape the user interface and experience of our AI-driven platform.

What you'll do

  • Conduct user research to understand customer pain points and drive improvements in the moving process.
  • Create information architecture and wireframes or prototypes using Figma.
  • Translate prototypes into a robust and user-friendly front-end product.
  • Own the front-end development, collaborating closely with the CEO and Full Stack Engineer to ensure seamless integration with the back-end functionality.
  • Create and evolve our design system to ensure a consistent and attractive user interface.

What we're seeking

Must haves

  • Strong proficiency in design tools such as Figma.
  • Experience in conducting user research, creating information architecture, and building prototypes.
  • Proven track record of translating designs into a functional, front-end product.
  • Familiarity with front-end languages, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  • Direct, straightforward communication style, capable of conveying complex concepts clearly.
  • Ability to work independently, make informed decisions swiftly, and tackle challenges head-on.
  • Aspiration to be a startup founder someday.

Nice to haves

  • Experience working with modern front-end frameworks such as React.
  • Experience working in a startup or dynamic high-growth environment.
  • Familiarity with agile development methodologies.
  • Knowledge or interest in AI and machine learning.
