Job description

Who we are

We are Kisi, a physical security technology company that accelerates a world where the right people can share physical resources at any time. Founded in 2012, Kisi operates from a headquarter in Brooklyn (USA), an office in Stockholm (Sweden), and a remote team across the globe.

What we do

We bring simple and secure physical security to people and organizations anywhere. Our award-winning hardware and compliance-certified software form the core of our physical security platform that helps businesses around the world connect and control their spaces through the cloud. With our seamless access experience and real-time data and analytics we help make spaces available to the right people at any time. But don’t just take our word for it: explore our award-winning Reader Pro, which recently won the coveted GOOD DESIGN award as well as the prestigious iF Design Award. Curious about how Kisi works? Check out this short product demo.

How and why we do it

At Kisi, you will have the freedom to do your work in the way you work best. There’s a flat hierarchy (work alongside our co-founders Carl, Max, and Bernie!), a strong sense of ownership, and the freedom to get creative. We also try to limit meetings as much as possible, so you can have dedicated focus time. Our mission is clear: ensure ease of facility access and remote space management, providing access systems to create a secure future where spaces are connected and accessible without boundaries.

Your role

You will channel all your creative and analytical energy into delivering best-in-class user experiences for our mobile and web apps used globally by hundreds of thousands of admins and end users alike. Accessing doors, managing users, setting up hardware - our experiences must be seamless, exciting, intuitive, and efficient.

Your responsibilities

  • You own the user experience for our mobile and web applications, consistently adhering to the Kisi design language across applications and platforms
  • You embrace a culture of experimentation - run internal and external usability testing, iterate continuously and gather feedback at various stages in our product lifecycle 
  • You work closely with our product managers to translate product goals into product experiences
  • You work closely with front-end facing designers and developers to implement your experiences into designs and ultimately into products and features

We strive to move fast and want everyone to make an impact as early as possible.

  • 30 days: develop a deep understanding of your context: users, products, features, stakeholders, teams. Review every app in-depth to know our status quo
  • 60 days: we ramp up fast - by this time you will be making tangible contributions to our product. 
  • 90 days: you are considered fully onboarded by now, you are able to identify areas for improvements and take initiative in that

Requirements

Your qualifications

  • You share our values: forward, human, trusted, and responsible.
  • You have a high quality approach to UI and a solid understanding of UX.
  • You have a passion for technology. Our products are technical in nature.
  • You have about 3 years of experience in a similar role, as part of an agency or a product company. 

What you can expect

  • Impact. It’s all about making a positive impact on people’s everyday lives. At Kisi, you are expected to make meaningful contributions to shape the future of physical security.
  • Excellence. We strive for excellence and best-in-class experiences in everything we do. We are innovative and obsessed with the details that matter.
  • Culture. Our culture is not a written manifest, but the result of all of us. We place great emphasis on building a company that is open, welcoming, challenging and fun.
  • Ownership. We don’t believe in micro-management, but we do believe in setting and getting goals. At Kisi, you will own goals, and have freedom under responsibility.
