First Designer for AI Logistics Platform

Gather AI; United States; Hybrid; USD 120,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Gather AI is seeking a hands-on product designer to define and own the user experience for a new category of warehouse‑floor software. You’ll work end to end from field research to prototypes, spanning MHEV apps, drone interfaces, and the Sage AI insights dashboard.

You’ll join as the first and only designer, shaping the design system and processes, collaborating with engineers in Pittsburgh and Noida, and traveling to customer sites and our Pittsburgh office about 20% of the time.

Qualifications

• Visualcraft: a portfolio with strong, simple, modern design that holds up even in data‑dense interfaces.
• Analytical rigor: turn data and requirements into clear information hierarchy with measurable results.
• Experience shipping real products at scale with users in real workflows.
• Desire to own design end to end now, without a larger design team.
• Comfort using Claude or other AI tools to build working prototypes.
• Experience designing through user research: you’ve watched people work and changed anything you built because of it.
• Figma fluency or equivalent design/prototyping tool.
• Willingness to travel ~20% to customer warehouses and our Pittsburgh office.

Responsibilities

• Own design for the MHEV app: ramp fast and propose a v2 concept by month 3, then take full ownership of the product line.
• Design interfaces for people working directly with drones and forklifts: tablet experiences used mid-shift, in noisy environments and under time pressure.
• Expand into the Sage dashboard as your second product line, shaping an AI insights product that’s early enough for your decisions to define its direction.
• Build on the foundations of the Gather design system and own it across our dashboards and apps.
• Travel to customer sites to observe how people use our products in the field, and bring that context into every design decision.
• Partner closely with mobile and front-end engineering in Pittsburgh and Noida, from MHEV stand‑ups and weekly requirements planning through handoffs that remove ambiguity.
• Use Claude and other AI tools to move from concept to functioning prototype, and design with an eye to how engineers will use your work with AI to build front ends faster.
• Over time, extend your work to internal tools and the occasional piece of marketing material.
