Yayem

Engineering Director

We are building our tech and product team in Lisbon and Mexico City (the roles can also be remote). Our Engineering Director will work closely with our founders to shape our long-term technology roadmap.

Yayem is an experiential social club and digital platform changing the nature of work and play. Founded by two early Uber executives, we are building the world’s first lifestyle brand for the new age of hybrid worker, starting with two spaces outside Lisbon and Mexico City.

We are equal parts community, operations and technology. Our roles are as varied as our challenges: product and engineering, marketing, hospitality, experience curation, growth. We recently oversubscribed our pre seed round, with an enviable cast of angel investors and advisors.

Our iOS/Android member app is an experience discovery platform, with social features and fully integrated payments. As we scale, we see the convergence of 4 bigger tech substories: a global digital community; an experiential platform (scaling a dynamic inventory of spaces and experiences around the world); fintech innovation; AI/personalization.
