ABOUT AARU

Aaru operates at the frontier of predictive intelligence, using AI to simulate and predict human behavior at scale. By generating and deploying instances of artificial intelligence that mirror humans, called agents, Aaru simulates entire populations with unprecedented accuracy. Our partners use Aaru to refine strategic positioning, identify and understand high-value audiences, validate concepts and messaging before launch, optimize pricing decisions, and build a continuously richer understanding of their customers through simulation. We provide organizations with invaluable foresight, empowering them to anticipate outcomes and proactively make the right decisions at the right time, every time.

We're a small, dedicated, mission-driven team and we intend to stay that way. We believe the best work happens when exceptionally talented people are given ownership, trust and the space to operate without bureaucratic friction. We work with urgency and intellectual honesty and expect new team members to match our velocity. We seek individuals who thrive at the frontier, who push beyond conventional limits, who bring curiosity and conviction in equal measure, and who want their work to have demonstrable impact in the world. If you're energized by the idea of a small team doing things that feel impossible, let’s build together.

 
ABOUT THE ROLE

As a member of the Design team at Aaru, you'll help users make decisions faster. The Design team owns every surface a customer, prospect, or candidate touches. You'll work with the Head of Marketing and Head of Design to build the brand that carries Aaru into the market and bring it to life across the product, the web, and everywhere Aaru shows up.

 
RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Design and ship brand work daily across web, social, decks, and print

  • Build a brand system that scales to every new surface without going stale

  • Lead launches and campaigns end to end with the Head of Marketing

  • Partner with Product Designers and Design Engineers to carry the brand into the product

  • Enable anyone at Aaru to produce on-brand work without design in the loop

  • Help select and manage external agencies when the work calls for them

YOU MAY BE A FIT IF
  • You’ve released your own products or have lead product design previously

  • You thrive in ambiguous and novel technical domains

  • You value feedback more than conformity

  • You can defend your choices. When something's right, you can say why

  • You use AI tools heavily, but your taste isn't outsourced to them

  • You ship fast and know when to slow down for polish

  • You communicate clearly in writing and in person

  • You have the courage to push back and the humility to change your mind

STRONG CANDIDATES MAY ALSO
  • Have owned a brand redesign or rebrand, including agency selection and management

  • Have built or relaunched a brand at a fast-growing technology company

  • Have motion design sensibility

  • Have brought a brand system into a working product experience

LOCATION

BENEFITS

At Aaru, we take care of our people. In addition to a competitive base salary and equity participation, we offer comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, visa sponsorship and relocation support, and various other benefits and perks.
