What are we building at Pluto? 👷🏻
In the aftermatch of COVID and negative interest rates, investing has been brought to the masses so everyone can generate interest on their savings. You might be one of them?
As more people are investing, more people are also naturally talking about it. Investing has become social!! In particular, this is happening among groups of friends who use WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger or similar applications to exchange view on the markets and share new interesting investment opportunities! 🔎 Having the ability to share information with ease is one step towards increased financial literacy and can make the experience much mere engaging. Perhaps even fun! 🥳
The product 📲
If Robinhood and WhatsApp had a baby, Pluto would be it. We are building a product for ourselves that we have desired for a long time. A place where you can create an investment club with your closest friends and share the investing experience. Make investing more entertaining and safe! No commissions and with fractional shares. Mobile first. Written using the best tech-stack possible to be super user friendly.
The team 🎳
The founders (Joakim & Oscar) have known each other since age 15 and have built another company together before. Joakim holds a MSc Degree in Economics and have worked as a trader at Danske Bank and Goldman Sachs while Oscar is BSc in Software Development and have spent most of his career building software for the pharma industry.
We are part of the Y-Combinator winter 2022 batch and have raised $800k so far (more to come). The team is currently comprised of 6 full time employees and a lot of advisors.
What You'll Be Doing
As the Head of Design, you will always be one step ahead of the engineering team, making sure that they know what to build next. You will work closely with the CTO to design the investing app of the future and therefore you must understand the entire development cycle from analysis to testing (something we are learning ourselves). Needless to say, you are among the best ones out there at designing beautiful apps and challenge the norm by also being provocative and innovative! 🎨 We are an early stage startup, and therefore you will be spending most of your time in Figma getting yours hand dirty.

You have 3-5 years of experience working with graphic design at a fast-growing tech company or as a consultant at a leading agency.
