Job description

Location: New York City, New York

Our client is a venture-backed startup revolutionizing RF situational awareness at the tactical level by building systems that provide actionable and non-technical information in real time in the field.

The product gives unparalleled insight into the activity of wireless devices at scales ranging from a single room to an entire city. They are solving a net-new, technically hard problem that involves machine learning, embedded systems, signal processing, and user design. Because the problem doesn’t have an existing blueprint (nothing from other fields works out of the box), they approach everything with scientific and mathematical fundamentals.

By disrupting entrenched players by shifting the focus to modular and flexible software. The technology is applied to solve a variety of stakeholder challenges. The software they build bridges the gap between $100 off-the-shelf hardware and the existing $1M+ systems in this space. They are oversubscribed with demand.

With a $25M Series A—an oversubscribed round led by Conviction, Shield Capital, and Nat Friedman.


What you’ll do:
•Support the Design & UX of the Core Product – Translate high-level goals into user-friendly interfaces and data visualizations.
•Collaborate with the Whole Team – Work closely with founders, engineers, and customers to refine existing features and brainstorm new ones.
•Rapid Prototyping – Quickly test and iterate on new workflows, collecting feedback to guide improvements.
•Run research projects with various clients and stakeholders - including interviews and insights synthesis.
•Build new and adapt existing design system libraries in Figma - for web and mobile (and potentially other) platforms.
•Refine Branding & Design Language – Contribute to consistent, appealing branding across product, marketing materials, and more.
•Additional Design Projects – Pitch in on product graphics, marketing collateral, and web updates as needed.

Please note - This role requires 5days/week in office.

Must Have Skills:

•4+ years of experience in product/UX design, preferably within a fast-paced or startup environment.
•Familiarity with designing complex applications or visualizations, even if it’s through coursework or personal projects.
•Ability to create functional, user-friendly interfaces and clearly explain design decisions.
•Comfortable collaborating with technical teams and open to learning about novel technologies.
•Adaptable and able to juggle multiple projects in a dynamic environment.
•Comfortable planning and running client facing discovery research initiatives including interview design, moderation and post-research synthesis into key insights to inform design decisions.
•Advanced understanding of Figma including working with Design systems - ideal experience includes building design systems from scratch and working with existing ones, adding new components and working with design token libraries.
•Keeps up-to-date on the latest product design tooling and trends. Ability to rapidly learn and maintain adaptability in role shape and process implementation.
