Why we do what we do

The mind is our window to the world. It paints the outside in grey or bright colors. We therefore believe that a person finding access to that window has the opportunity to change their perspective of the world every single day and psychological hurdles can turn into opportunities to grow. Happiness can spread from individual to individual across society into a revolution one mind at a time.

Who we are

The mission we have inspires us and challenges us at the same time. It is work in which skills thoughts and ideas are poured into a product influencing thousands of souls and hearts. And with that comes great responsibility. It requires passion for the work we do a high level of integrity and the willingness to try things no one has tried before.

You will work closely with the CDO (Chief Design Officer). This means real responsibility real impact and real trust. More concretely you will :

• Lead meaningful design discovery

You go deep into problems before jumping to solutions. Through research conversations data and observation you uncover real user needs challenge assumptions and turn insights into clear actionable problem statements.

You translate complexity into simple in-depth and effective experiences. You structure flows interactions and concepts that balance clients value business goals and technical constraints always solving the right problem not just the visible one.

You take responsibility from early thinking to delivery and iteration. You move projects forward independently align stakeholders when needed and care about outcomes not just what was designed but what actually works.

You bring clarity where things are still forming. You document decisions improve ways of working and handle small or unglamorous tasks with maturity always looking for better systems not excuses.

You execute clean thoughtful UI that feels clear and reassuring. You work with and evolve design systems and collaborate closely with engineers to ensure high-quality well-implemented outcomes.

This role will grow with you. Based on your strengths and interests we will continuously shape the scope together.

In a nutshell

Plus (nice to have)

Together with us

We are a young ambitious team with diverse backgrounds and beliefs. We love conversations about the big picture and the small individual parts. We believe in what we do and work hard for a slightly better world. None of us could count hours in a big company or watch injustice happen. We are also friends parents husbands and wives standup comedians yoga novices and Zen monks who appreciate and enjoy life.

Sleep on it. Read it again. Start to believe that you belong to Aepsy.

Then take a deep breath and send a personal cover letter (yes it will not only be read but thoughtfully analyzed) together with your resume and portfolio. We want to feel that you truly want this role at Aepsy and understand why you are choosing it over other possibilities. We want to read what resonates with you what motivates you and why this mission matters to you personally.

PS : Please dont send us an impersonal standardized or AI-generated cover letter. It is a waste of your time and ours. There are better things to do instead like enjoying the sun taking a walk in the forest or talking to a friend. Life is too beautiful to write impersonal cover letters : )
