Empty offices, endless Zoom meetings, what’s that you say about “hybrid work”?

We’re on a mission to bring human connection back to work by making the hybrid office a reality. Founded in early 2023, we’re a venture-backed startup spun out of Stanford that matches like-minded companies to share office space. The result: lively, energized office space — with people you know and trust — without all the waste.

About Tandem

The way office space works and the industry behind it is getting completely flipped on its head right now. We are in the middle of a MAJOR disruption driven by two things:

1. Over 50% of office space is currently sitting empty in US cities.
2. Hybrid and remote work are here to stay. The five-days-in-the-office workweek is going away forever for many, many, many jobs.

Tandem is a marketplace tech company solving these problems by enabling the next generation of office space. Check us at out tandem.space - you’ll see hundreds of spaces on our marketplace. We match, service and enable companies every day to find their perfect office space, and we’re just getting started.

We’re a small, experienced team - currently we have 13 full time employees. Tandem has an all-star founding team, and you would work directly with the co-founders, who previously worked at Google and Bain & Company.

What we’re looking for

DESIGN SKILLS - You must have the design chops to bring ideas to life:

• 3-8 years of UX design experience required, ideally including experience at an early-stage startup.
• Figma experience required - this will be your main tool day-to-day.
• You should be able to design beautiful, intuitive web interfaces! Experience building both desktop and web interfaces is a must, including interaction design.
• Experience with marketplaces is a plus.

OWNERSHIP / CHARACTER - We are all owners:

• We are all owners at Tandem, no one is a ticket-taker - we’re looking for a go-getter with extreme levels of ownership and an A+ positive / get-shit-done attitude

• Team player who takes responsibility, is proactive and has extremely strong communication skills

About the Role

What you’ll be doing: You’ll be designing web interfaces, both mobile and desktop, for the Tandem marketplace! This includes both marketing/landing pages and logged-in user experiences, with the emphasis on logged-in interaction design. Expect to be working alongside Tandem’s engineering and sales leaders to bring ideas to life, redesigning existing pages, turning ideas into designs, etc. This will include working cross-functionally with sales & operations and may also include customer research.

Location - SF

You would be primarily working out of our office in San Francisco (we’re in SoMa, near the Giant’s stadium). We’re a hybrid company and ask everyone to come in 3 days per week, but much of the team is there every day.

• Build a matching algorithm to turn our scrappy Google-sheets/Hubspot/morning-standup routine into an automated process
• Build an AI agent to cut a 20-hour/100-email-per-deal highly manual servicing process in half
• Build a “smart onboarding” process for potential Hosts to quickly share information about their space and sign our terms of service
• Build a multi-party tour optimization tool that helps Hosts and Seekers coordinate office tours and next steps
• Build a Slack bot that helps newly-moved-in companies get to know each-other, understand terms of space use, and triage issues that come up

Our tech stack:

• Next.js / Typescript front end
• Node / Express / GraphQL powering our backend
