About Our Client
Our client is an early-stage GovTech startup building a modern planning and permitting platform for local governments. Their mission is to make more housing happen faster by making permitting unremarkable, tackling one of the biggest bottlenecks in a country short millions of homes.
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to design and deliver intuitive web experiences and native mobile apps for inspections and code enforcement products. You'll also scale design quality and judgment across the company as the second designer on the team.
You'll join early, report directly to the CEO, and own design end to end across web and mobile without a design manager, a detailed spec, or a PM handing you a brief. If you've shipped 0-to-1 B2B products for complex workflows, use AI in your design work every day, and want to make the people around you better at design, this role is a strong fit.
Responsibilities
- Design and deliver the Inspections MVP to live customers within 3 months of starting, and the Code Enforcement product within 5 months
- Design intuitive experiences for native mobile and dense desktop, from information architecture through visual detail
- Work from how inspectors, code enforcement officers, and planning staff actually do their jobs rather than from what similar products look like
- Take fuzzy problems, decide what makes the MVP and what waits, and move without waiting for requirements to firm up
- Maintain the design system after the contractor build across web and mobile, keeping it consistent so engineers and coding agents can build from it with minimal drift
- Design products as a coherent whole, thinking in models and workflows rather than isolated screens
- Enable engineers to ship UI that meets the bar on their own through shared design principles, a working critique practice, and a system that makes the consistent choice the easy one
- Give clear, helpful feedback often and make other people better at design without doing the work for them
- Use AI tools daily in your design process, from research and exploration to prototyping and specification
What We're Looking For
- Experience designing, shipping, and iterating on 0-to-1 B2B web and mobile apps for complex workflows with multiple user types
- A record of independently owning end-to-end web and mobile designs without a design manager
- Strong product judgment and scoping, able to decide what ships first and why
- Design craft that holds up across native mobile and dense desktop interfaces, with the systems thinking to keep a design system coherent as new surfaces are added
- Daily use of AI in your design work
- Ownership in ambiguity: you make progress without a spec, a PM, or a clear brief, and you fix problems you see rather than flagging them and waiting
- Strong written and spoken English, with a habit of giving direct, kind feedback
- Available to work US Pacific Time (PST) business hours
Nice to Have
- Experience designing for deskless workers, government staff, or less technology-savvy users
- Experience designing AI product surfaces or maintaining design systems
- Experience designing products that meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards
- Experience with brand or marketing design
- Former founder experience, beyond solo consulting
If you meet most of this but not every point, apply anyway. We hire for strengths and potential, not for a perfect resume.
Work Schedule
- 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
- This position operates on a full-time basis, with dedicated hours to ensure alignment with the team and delivery of quality work
- Working hours aligned to US Pacific Time (PST)
Compensation & Time Off
- Compensation paid in USD
- Paid bi-monthly on the 15th and 30th
- Paid Time Off according to company policy
- Holidays observed according to company guidelines
Application Requirements
Please submit:
- An updated resume
- A portfolio link with case studies of 0-to-1 B2B web or mobile products, showing your process, decisions, and outcomes
- A 1–2 minute Loom video introducing yourself and walking through one project where you decided what made the MVP and what had to wait, and why
Only candidates who submit both a portfolio and a Loom video will be moved to the next step of the hiring process.
