About Yaay

We're building the taste layer for the physical world: the app that knows what you actually love and turns it into places to go.

Today: See it. Save it. Do it.

• Spot a place on social, save it in one tap, and our AI finds the exact spot, pins it to your map, and helps you plan and book it.

Where we're going

• The app you open to go out in your own city with your friends, that inspires and pushes you into the world, and that truly feels social.

Our product philosophy

• AI is the engine, not the show. We use it heavily, but users don't need to know or care. It's hidden and helpful, never flashy for its own sake.

• We kill choice overload. People are drowning in options. We get them to the right one while feeling confident they're not missing something better.

• Complex inside, dead simple outside. Features can be intricate behind the scenes, but should always feel effortless to use.

• Convention over configuration. The common case is the happy path, with an escape hatch for when you need more control.

• Validate, but trust the vision. We test product decisions with real signals, and we hold our nerve on the long-term direction we believe in.

About the role

• Part-time (1.5 to 2 days/week) with the potential to grow into full-time as Yaay scales

• You'll work side by side with our founders, Christian (CTO) and Anders (CEO), reporting to Christian

• Highly collaborative, so we ask you to be in our Copenhagen office on your working days, at least while we build momentum together

What you'll do

• Help shape Yaay's product vision through your UX and consumer instincts

• Move fast from napkin sketches to quick mockups that let us explore ideas out loud

• Take the promising concepts deeper into detailed designs and flows

• Spar with our engineers as they carry designs into implementation

What we're looking for

• Experience designing in the mobile space, ideally for consumer products

• A strong grasp of user psychology and how to nudge people toward the right behaviors

• A real passion for travel, and an understanding that everyone travels differently

• Someone who loves iterating quickly and thrives without a task list handed to them

Why Yaay

• An early, pivotal seat at an ambitious startup taking on travel and leisure, a space that touches almost everyone

• Real autonomy inside a flat, joyful team

• Room to grow with the role as the company grows

A note on fit: We keep a relaxed hierarchy and high expectations at the same time. If you're excited to push hard and help make Yaay a success, you'll fit right in. If you're after a calm nine-to-five, this probably isn't the one.
