Description
We’re looking for a web designer based in London to work on a variety of projects for approximately 3 months across the acasa website and web app, starting in January 2018.About acasa
Our purpose is to build foundational technology for the home to help the world live better together, making the day-to-day problems people have in managing their living situation disappear. We’ve already built an app being used by thousands of houses across the world to track and split their shared household costs, and have now moved into setting up people’s household bills and utilities to be managed through the acasa app. The acasa app was launched in 2015 (as Splittable), and we are a funded startup, backed by some of the best investors in London, including Seedcamp and Playfair Capital. We’re based in Shoreditch, but don’t worry, you don’t have to like artisan coffee to work here.
Role
The acasa platform encompasses iOS, Android and web apps to help people set up their household bills and manage their home on a day-to-day basis. We’re looking for a designer with a strong appreciation of great, delightful web design, to help elevate multiple parts of the acasa website. We’re looking to improve aspects of our homepage, the landing page templates we use for various campaigns, other parts of our website content such as product demos, FAQs and “about acasa” and some of the main parts of the acasa web app. You’d be working with both our growth and engineering teams to iterate quickly and produce great content.
We use Trello to stay agile, managing the product roadmap and current sprints with the development team, and Slack for team communication.
Team
You’ll be joining an agile and highly motivated team where you’ll have the opportunity to learn quickly from the people who built acasa from scratch (that’s us!) and our network of mentors.
For us, this is deeply personal. Because we are the customer. We are Generation Rent. We inherently understand and respect the home, the individuals, the relationships, challenges and dynamics of the housing market. We’ve felt the frustrations, dealt with the disappointments and put up with the problems. And we are completely obsessed with solving them.
That’s why we started acasa. To build foundational technology that runs the home, so the world can live better, together.
Our values are simple, but we live and breathe them:
Live and learn
Give a shit
Be a champion
