Job description

12,916 – 14,166 $

Important: if an employer asks you to log into their system via iCloud or Google, send a code, an SMS or Telegram password, run some code, or install software — refuse. These are signs of fraud.

We’re a simple-to-use photo documentation and productivity app for contractors of all commercial and home services industries. Packed with intuitive functionality, •••••••••• facilitates unparalleled communication and accountability across a contractor’s entire business. We’re committed to providing a consumer-grade, game-changing experience that helps our users build trust within their company and with their customers.

But don’t let that corporate description fool you—the people behind our buttoned-up product are laid-back (but hardworking), genuine, and kickass, and you could be one of them!

Why This Role Exists

Getting software off the ground is the easy part these days. It's the last stretch, the difference between "it works" and "it's great", that actually matters. We need a craft-obsessed designer who raises the bar wherever they land: someone who brings sharp interaction and visual design instincts, sweats the details that make a product feel considered, and moves fast without losing the thread on quality. That includes designing for a new class of agentic, AI-driven experiences where the interaction model itself is still being figured out.

If you've got a strong point of view on what great design looks and feels like, and the drive to get there without waiting for permission, this is your kind of role.

Location: Candidates must permanently and currently reside in the United States. Employees are not required to work in the office or relocate to Lincoln, Nebraska, for this opportunity. Employees are encouraged to come hang at headquarters for up to 10 days per calendar year on ••••••••••'s dime.

What You'll Do

• Own design end-to-end for high-impact product areas, from early concept through shipped, polished execution.
• Apply strong interaction design, visual design, and information architecture fundamentals to solve real problems for contractors doing real work. A love of typography, color, elevation, and the details of visual design is a must.
• Help define new interaction patterns for agentic and AI-powered experiences, where the old rules of "screen in, screen out" don't fully apply.
• Sketch, prototype, and test ideas at different levels of fidelity to validate decisions quickly.
• Work closely with Product and Engineering to align on goals, move fast, and deliver high-quality solutions.
• Communicate design decisions clearly, invite feedback, and actively participate in critique.
• Contribute to our design system, helping keep it consistent, scalable, and genuinely useful.

The Impact You'll Have

At •••••••••• , your work makes a real impact. Whether you're writing code, supporting customers, or designing experiences, your contributions directly shape the product we deliver and the people we serve. We're building something that helps real people solve real problems, and we believe that kind of work is best done by a team that reflects the world around us. In this role, you'll drive impact by:

• Raising the craft bar across the product areas you touch, and showing others what great looks like along the way.
• Partnering closely with product managers and engineers to bring ideas from concept to shipped feature.
• Shaping how real people get their jobs done more easily, every time they open the app.
• Helping build a product used by teams across the country to document and manage their work.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of experience as a Product Designer, ideally with experience shipping complex, high-quality features for a SaaS product.
• Portfolio of proven craft: you know what great design looks and feels like, and you push the work until it gets there.
• Strong interaction design and visual design skills, with the range to work across desktop, mobile, and emerging AI-driven surfaces.
• Ability to balance speed and detail: knowing when to move fast and when to obsess over the last 1%.
• Comfort working end-to-end, from big-picture systems thinking down to the smallest interaction detail.
• Experience building prototypes to communicate ideas
• Strong understanding of user-centered design principles and the ability to apply them effectively.
• Experience collaborating cross-functionally with product and engineering teams.
• Strong skills in leading your cross-functional team through ambiguous problems and landing on a test-and-learn plan.
• Familiarity with accessibility best practices and inclusive design principles.
• Excitement for using AI as part of your design workflow, and for designing agentic experiences where AI is a participant in the product, not just a feature bolted on.
• Agency, ownership, and autonomy: you don't wait to be told what to do.
• A continuous growth mindset, with a focus on learning, embracing challenges, and continuously improving.

What Success Looks Like

You'll know you're succeeding if:

• You've raised the design bar. Your work gets pointed to as an example of exceptional craft and taste.
• You've shipped product with real business impact. The areas you own are visibly better because of you.
• You operate autonomously. You don't wait for direction. You see what needs to be done and do it.
• Engineers love working with you. Your designs are considered, clear, and easy to implement.
• Your peers trust your judgment. When you push for quality, people listen.

Benefits & Compensation

This is a salaried position at •••••••••• . Our starting salary range is $155,000-$170,000 per year and is based on experience. We also offer meaningful equity and other benefits.

•••••••••• is an equal-opportunity employer committed to respect, inclusion, and growth. We work hard, take responsibility, and support each other. Great ideas come from all backgrounds, and we carefully consider every applicant without regard to personal characteristics or traits.

What really matters to us is your potential, your passion, and your commitment to learning, innovation, and contributing meaningfully to our team.
