We’re hiring a Senior Product Designer at @zero_university in Dubai. This is not a role for someone whose first instinct is only, “I can make this look better.” We are looking for someone who sees a flow and asks, “Why does this work this way? What is missing? What should we try?” Someone who can enter an unfamiliar domain, understand the patterns, communicate their thinking clearly, and bring a solution with the problem. At Zero, design does not end at handoff. You will take a problem, prototype it, use AI to understand the product and work through ideas, stay close to the repo, and care about what actually ships. We still care deeply about craft. But for this role, product judgment, curiosity, communication, and the ability to learn fast matter just as much. 3+ years of product design experience. Full-time and in person in Dubai, with openness to moving as Zero grows. This is a demanding chapter. If you want real ownership and are ready to grow through hard work, I would love to see your work. forms.gle/djF6KDmyNCHNPC7V6

nobody asked us to build this website. never on the roadmap. so for a year it lived on the last leg of everything, built after 15-16 hour days. we'd wrap the real work and then, instead of sleeping, open the file again. /01

Another day, another set of iterations. The most fun I've had working on the product is the celebration and unlock screens. Could be because I get the full screen all to myself for a sec. Just me and my illustration. No nav. No buttons.

We turned a boring waitlist into a generative toy. Every signup generates a unique Zero object with your number on it, live. nobody asked us to build this. that's exactly why we did ⚡ full workflow below 👇

A lot of what we build shows up as features, buttons, and screens. It's easy to look at those. Every decision we've made traces back to the same place. A set of foundational beliefs we hold as a team, and the thing they keep building toward: Zero

controversial opinion: young talent will be in HIGHER demand than experienced talent. they're: - more adaptive - cheaper - starting from scratch so they will learn new best practices (likely with AI) - they have more time and can work longer/harder (bc less life responsibilities) **as long as they understand new workflows, have AI fluency, good communications skills, and can figure things out independently. right now the narrative is that entry level jobs are going away. it's true, entry level jobs that require no thinking will go away and be automated. a new category of job will be created. not entry level vs experienced. it will be a new category around getting things done. experience is becoming less valuable in many roles because of new workflows and ways of getting things done. what is valuable is knowing how to hit outcomes faster and cheaper. good example is GTM engineering. doesn't require marketing experts. it requires new ways of thinking. this is one of many insights that is driving how we build @zero_university .

One fine morning, I was thrown into creating a reward system for @zero_university . First time working on a system for a product. I still remember trying to arrange things in my head. It almost felt like a five-year-old playing with Legos for the first time.

Still remember building that floor, we didn’t want real humans but wanted movement. Tried stuff like papers coming out of the machine, but no one would’ve noticed. Then you came up with people walking by as shadows. Effortless life, instantly. Banger idea.

honestly, reminding me of some of the conversations we've had building @zero_university. i find a lot of investors don't look at the product and try to fully understand it. they focus on the spreadsheet. btw... we launched Zero today, university alt: xitter.cf/navidnathoo/status/206…
Today we’re launching Zero: an alternative to university. Until now, going to university was how to enter a career. But the world has changed and universities can’t keep up. Graduates spend 4+ years in school, yet aren’t job-ready and leave with debt 💰 . In Zero, you learn through immersive scenarios based on real jobs, and use the same workflows modern teams use. We reverse engineered our curriculums from what hiring managers look for. Once you’re ready, we match you with roles and get you hired. Join our beta ➡️ link in comments. cc: @zero_university

There should be a separate path for people who want to socialize, that’s much cheaper. Universities aren’t great at educating anymore. They’re an expensive social experience. Then people expect a job after, but many struggle and come out with debt that takes 10 years to pay off. Universities are an ok proxy because it’s all that really exists today. There isn’t a good alternative. We got shitty boot camps and MOOCs that sell certificates. But soon there will be better alternatives, and I think @zero_university will be one of them. xitter.cf/navidnathoo/status/206…

this is Zero. i was going to launch @zero_university 6 months ago, but decided not to. i felt if we launched too early, the team would get distracted. the product still had areas where i wanted to make the experience incredible, not just 'good'. Zero is more like a video game or movie, where the experience matters. it's not a tool, it's immersive. how people feel when they use it matters. it needed to be fast, feel real, and actually work. so instead of launching, we went heads down for 6 months to craft the best learning experience the world has seen. it has the best applied AI models, immersive experiences that feel like the real-world (like kick-off meetings, feedback walk-throughs, and real-time collaboration), and modern workflows that train people on how to use AI tools to make them more productive, rather than use them mindlessly as a crutch. it was a tough decision because my team put a ton of work into this video and wanted the world to see it. imagine, this was made 6 months ago! i'm super proud of my team for what they made, and i'm even more proud to finally share this with the world. so yea, this is Zero. this is the future of education. to join the beta, let me know in the thread.

đź”´ I'M BUILDING THIS OUT OF HATE! đź”´ I'll be honest. I don't love education. I never have. I grew up inside it, then started my career building more of it. I lasted long enough to learn how it really works, and I left swearing never again. You know the shape of it. A syllabus older than the students. Forty kids taught like they're one kid. Nine hours of school, four of tuition, then a room full of us mugging up the same shit until we could repeat it on cue. It was never built to find smart people. It finds good memorisers. Your Netflix knows you better than your school ever did. And if you didn't fit it, you were told you were the problem. You weren't. The system was just bad at you. I only know it can be different because of design. In design, nobody asks where you studied. You open the portfolio. It either blows them away or it doesn't. The degree doesn't count. The work does. It's the fairest test I know, because it asks one honest question. Can you actually do the thing? For years that was true for design and almost nothing else. So that's what we're building @zero_university for. Proof of work, for everyone. Not a grade. Not a profile you wrote about yourself. A real record of what you can actually do, and how you got good at it. Something you can't fake. Picture what that unlocks. No take-home assignments. No seven rounds of interviews to slowly find out what your work already shows. You stop proving yourself from scratch in every room. You walk in already proven. And we built Zero so we only win when you do. Most schools treat students as customers, so they're built to chase more of them, not to make the ones they have any better. We flipped it. You're not who we sell to. You're what we build. So we'll never trade you a degree, a hostel, and a nice story about your life for four years and a fat bill. Zero is free. And our beta users get a guaranteed interview, the one promise your college couldn't make you after all those years and all that money. This is the first launch. The thing I hated most turned out to be the thing I'm here to build. I'm writing this from a treadmill in Vietnam, and I haven't felt this alive in years.

The glass cards are one of those. Glass material has always been on my good side. Fun and super premium. Overused and hyped? yes. But I love it. Sad story. It didn't make it. We moved on @zero_university #DesignEngineering #VibeCoding #ProductDesign #AIPrototyping

Universities are just businesses. They used to be a place for people to learn and grow, but now they're just a business maximizing profits. Their product is a degree, and the customers are students. The degree is paid off in (usually) four annual installments, and if you don't complete the payment, you don't get the product. If you look at the curriculums at most universities, they're not related to what companies are looking for. They're academic, not practical, and more focused on content and assessment of that content rather than job readiness. The craziest part is that the whole education system is tied together by universities. It's the whole reason why students care so much about getting good grades in high school. It's the whole reason why the high school curriculum doesn't change to adapt to the real world. It's because everything is optimized for getting into university, but at the end of the day, what's the point of getting into university if it doesn't prepare you for the job and get you hired? Most people aren't going into debt and spending four years just to be formally educated. Education's free on YouTube. It's probably the best place to actually learn anything. The only reason why universities haven't been replaced yet is because there is no replacement. And as long as there is no viable replacement, the education system will continue to optimize for getting accepted into universities, and as a result, stay outdated. I'm building Zero to be that replacement. @zero_university
