Be the designer that replaced Google Calendar.
We know you're busy, so here's the deal:
- We are building the next generation of calendars, made for remote work and virtual meetings.
- We started Hera less than a year ago, we recently finished YCombinator S21 and raised a $1.7M seed round. We are a team of 5.
- We are fundamentally customer-centric: All our users are in a Slack group, we discuss features & pain points with them every day. Some users invested in our seed round.
- You would be the first product designer, one of the most critical roles for our mission.
- $65K-$100K, equity, and whatever you need to do your work in great conditions.

🙋 Problem: My Calendar does not help me plan, organize and protect my time
-
🙋 Vision: Replace your Google Calendar by a remote-first tool with time protection and asynchronous work embedded in its DNA
👉 You: Help us build the platform to organize & protect the time of distributed teams
Hera is a product-led company, and product design is at the core of what we do. When using Hera, our users should be and feel more productive.
🤝 What we expect
You will love working with us if you can see yourself in the following traits:
Ownership & clarity
- You own the solutions you craft: you can explain clearly why you believe it will address the related problem.
- You need minimal guidance to come up with creative solutions to problems and you ask for help when you lack context
Empathy for the customer, with a sweet drop of pragmatism
- Your north star is not about how the product looks but more about who the user becomes with our product.
- You naturally challenge the features suggested by our users and always come back to the problem they want to solve
Working with uncertainty, with critical thinking
- You are able to explore a large solution space by formulating explicit hypotheses and quickly crossing dead ends.
- You know your blindspots and always make sure to valide these hypotheses with user research, tests, data analyses...
→ Also, Bruno was a product manager before so you will work in duo 💪
