About AudioStack 🦜

AudioStack is the world’s most powerful AI audio production infrastructure. If you are passionate about the Voice & Audio markets (think Podcasts, Spotify, Siri, Alexa, Music) and Artificial Intelligence - this is the job for you!

We are an Audio-As-A-Service, API-first Infrastructure company with the aim of democratising the way audio is produced globally. We use Artificial Intelligence and proprietary Audio Automation & Personalisation Technology to generate voices & audio at scale.

Join an ambitious company with strong international tech, voice synthesis R&D and business team made out of various nationalities.

What you'll be doing:

• Drive development of the AudioStack platform by leading design-thinking, UX and UI in conjunction with the product owner and development team.
• Own the user journey for AudioStack platform and workflow users.
• Distill complex problems into simple, user-centred solutions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (including working with other designers) to solve user and business needs and to understand how our solutions perform relative to our competitors.
• Design solutions for quick, high-quality shipping. We ship fast!
• Close collaboration with engineering - no throwing designs over the fence.
• Creation of flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals using Figma.
• Rapid testing and gathering of customer feedback and analytics to drive decision making.
• Solicit feedback for continuous improvement.
• Involvement in hiring, mentoring, and establishing and driving forward a design culture.

Requirements

• You are confident setting up and advocating for design process across the organisation: you're an ambitious leader who can drive forward design across teams.

• Experience working on software that integrates seamlessly within enterprise customers’ existing tooling and workflows
• Outstanding portfolio in user interaction, and visual design.
• Solid understanding of crafting scalable, accessible designs.
• Strong stakeholder management skills: you see (healthy) conflict as essential for high performance and don't shy away from making and communicating tough decisions when needed. You're able to bring others along with you and help them understand the "why" behind design choices.
• Experience in rapid-growth environments and collaborating with diverse teams.
• Proficiency in prototyping using Figma
• Opinionated about the design process - you care about how we get things done. You value shipping incrementally, quickly, collaboratively, and on maximising the value delivered to users.
• Understanding of design and delivery approaches such as continuous discovery habits, lean UX, design sprints and scrum.
• Understanding of the capabilities and design limitations of modern web technologies and APIs.
• Basic Javascript skills - many of our end users are software developers, so basically coding skills would help with building user empathy (desirable)

Benefits

• 🎹 Be part of a great story: we are making audio scalable for the first time in history.
