Gaia is an investing app that helps people achieve financial freedom and make a positive impact on the world. Investing is already hard enough on its own. Investing for a better world is 10x harder. We believe this problem is rooted in code, design, and community. Gaia's mission is to make sustainable investing available to everyone. Not just those with the deepest pockets. We are designing products to help our users learn, invest, and make an impact with their money. That's where you come in.

Specialize in one of our core product areas and work closely with engineers and product managers to create delightful user experiences

Work in a highly collaborative fashion with the design, product, and project teams
Participate in design reviews and share your work regularly with the design and company leadership
You may be a fit for this role if you:
