✨ Do you live and breathe product? Help us build the next Gen Z social platform!
baesh is a Gen Z social platform that helps people meet in real life through activities, communities, and shared interests. We’re building the infrastructure for real-world connection in the AI age - a social network that nudges people out of scrolling and into experiences.
As our UX/Product Lead (Core Team), you’ll own the user experience end-to-end. You’ll talk to users, turn insights into shipped improvements, and shape a product that can scale from Berlin to the world.
📌 Core team position, equity-based
📌 Massive growth opportunities: you’ll influence product strategy, UX direction, and experimentation from day one
📌 Flexible hours + fully remote
📌 German required (our first market is Berlin)
📌 After fundraising, there’s a path toward a paid leadership role (this is an unpaid core team role for now)
