Job summary

Trellis Systems, Inc. is seeking a design-focused professional to own the readiness surface, ensuring clear scores, gaps, evidence, and drafts for our compliance-focused software.

The role emphasizes turning difficult news into actionable, lightweight communications while preserving a cohesive visual system as new frameworks are added. Ideal candidates design data-dense products used daily, can uphold a design system independently, and care deeply about typography and hairlines.

Responsibilities

• Own the readiness surface: score, gaps, evidence, drafts
• Design for the moment a founder learns bad news, and make it actionable rather than heavy
• Hold the visual system as we add frameworks

Job description

Compliance software is where design goes to die. Every product in this category looks like a spreadsheet with a logo. You will make Trellis the exception: calm, orderly, and clear enough that a founder reads a gap once and knows what to do.

What you will own

• Own the readiness surface: score, gaps, evidence, drafts
• Design for the moment a founder learns bad news, and make it actionable rather than heavy
• Hold the visual system as we add frameworks

Who this suits

• You have designed a data-dense product that people use daily
• You can hold a design system on your own
• You care about typography and hairlines more than is strictly reasonable
