UX Researcher

This is a remote position only open to candidates in EST.

Tilig is a healthy startup, founded by Sid Sijbrandij, founder and CEO of GitLab, in an individual capacity. The team is 6 strong and growing (with 6 open positions!). We have the mission of building everyone's personal assistant. The first iteration of that product is a completely free password manager that is incredibly easy to use, while future versions will help organize and manage all your accounts and subscriptions in one place. It will tackle everything from handling payments to canceling difficult subscriptions.

Tilig is a password manager but vision is bigger. All around account manager and subscription manager. NY Times, Netflix...scattered..no easy management tool to end subscription. Being able to manage subscriptions is the future vision of Tilig. Don’t have to talk to a person on the phone, or get out from under sales pitch. We’re building a password manager to get into the accounts to manage. Core is to create a service and make sure its the easiest to use and free forever.

The actual offer, reflecting the total compensation package and benefits, will be at the company’s sole discretion, and determined by a myriad of factors including, but not limited to, years of experience, depth of experience, and other relevant business considerations. The company also reserves the right to amend or modify employee perks and benefits at any time. Responsibilities
