About Aarden
We started Aarden to reimagine land stewardship for a new era. Land is the world’s most valuable—and limited—asset. Our platform uses AI and data to help landowners, investors, and stewards make smarter, faster decisions that unlock economic and environmental value.
Joining Aarden means you’ll be part of a small, fast-moving team shaping a new category. Every hire has outsized impact, and every idea can help redefine how the world manages land.
The Role
We’re looking for a Product Designer who thrives in a startup environment—able to design clean, intuitive interfaces while flexing into adjacent work like marketing design or front-end implementation. You’ll help define Aarden’s product and brand experience from the ground up.
This isn’t a role where titles or pedigree matter. We care more about what you can make, how you think about users, and your curiosity to learn and experiment.
What You’ll Do
Design product interfaces that make complex data accessible and actionable.
Shape our design system and visual language across web, product, and marketing.
Balance design + product thinking—apply a user-centered lens to help prioritize features and define success metrics.
Collaborate with engineering to bring designs to life—potentially writing production-ready front-end code if that’s in your toolkit.
Support brand and marketing efforts with lightweight creative projects (web assets, visuals, decks, etc).
What We’re Looking For
Strong product design skills and an eye for detail—you can go from sketches to polished designs quickly.
Comfort flexing across design, marketing, and/or front-end engineering. You don’t need to be an expert in all three, but you should enjoy crossing disciplines.
Curiosity and creativity in tackling ambiguous problems.
Self-motivation and drive—you love taking ownership and running with ideas.
Willingness to work hybrid from our Seattle HQ.
Nice to Have (Not Required)
Experience with data visualization, geospatial design, or dashboards.
Front-end engineering ability (React, Tailwind, or similar).
Marketing design chops—brand, campaigns, or storytelling.
Prior startup experience (or appetite for ambiguity and speed).
Why Join Us
Competitive compensation and meaningful equity.
Health, dental, and vision insurance.
Generous PTO and leave policies.
Flexible schedules with hybrid in-office collaboration.
A culture of learning and growth in an innovative, fast-paced environment.
Dedicated commitment to invest in AI tooling and growth opportunities.
