About Air Apps

At Air Apps, we believe in thinking bigger—and moving faster. We’re a family-founded company on a mission to create the world’s first AI-powered Personal & Entrepreneurial Resource Planner (PRP), and we need your passion and ambition to help us change how people plan, work, and live. Born in Lisbon, Portugal in 2018—and now with offices in both Lisbon and San Francisco - we’ve remained self-funded while reaching over 100 million downloads worldwide.

The Role

As a Product Designer, you will be responsible for crafting intuitive, delightful user experiences that seamlessly span mobile (iOS and Android) and web platforms. You will work closely with cross-functional teams—including Product Management, Engineering, and User Research—to translate complex requirements into elegant, user-centered designs. You will leverage your design sensibilities, storytelling abilities, and understanding of technology constraints to build consistent, scalable solutions that resonate with a wide range of users.

• Develop and maintain design systems and component libraries that ensure a cohesive look and feel across iOS, Android, and web interfaces while respecting platform-specific patterns and guidelines.
• Own the entire design process - from concept ideation and user flows to final visual design - ensuring a pixel-perfect, responsive experience across devices and screen sizes.
• Work closely with Product Managers to shape product strategy and define requirements, and partner with Engineers to ensure technical feasibility and a smooth handoff of assets and specifications.
• Continuously refine designs based on user feedback, A/B testing results, and analytics. Strive for iterative improvements that drive measurable increases in user satisfaction, engagement, and retention.
• Advocate for user experience best practices and contribute to the ongoing improvement of design processes, tooling, and team culture.
• Provide mentorship and guidance to less experienced designers, fostering a collaborative and inclusive design environment.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), or related field.
• Approximately 3+ years of experience in modern design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD).
• Solid understanding of layout, typography, and color theory, with an eye for detail and usability.
• Familiarity with native mobile design patterns (Human Interface Guidelines for iOS, Material Design for Android) as well as responsive web design principles.
• Experience conducting user research, usability testing, and applying both qualitative and quantitative feedback to improve designs.
