Senior Product Designer for mobile app for family building 🌱

Join us in designing an easier way to family buildingAt Y factor, we're improving how people conceive through sperm donation, making it more accessible and personal. We're looking for a Senior Product Designer, who can translate complex user needs into great mobile experiences, that will make a difference in countless lives.About Y FactorConceiving through donation is not an easy journey; going through the traditional system is a highly regulated, time-consuming, impersonal, and expensive process. Many future parents and donors turn to the private market to get control back in their own hands, giving them the chance to meet the other side of the donation. However, today this means you are very much on your own for navigating the journey, and current solutions are chaotic, low quality, and lack safety measures and transparency.At Y factor, we believe something this important deserves better. We are on a mission to turn private sperm donation into a safe, easy, and enabling experience. We’re a young startup and our app is freshly launched this summer.
