Most of what we design is operational software. Someone opens it because they have a job to finish, such as checking why a device stopped reporting, running a screening, or provisioning a batch of units before they ship.
Screens carry a lot of state, the person reading them is usually in a hurry, and a layout that looks calm in a portfolio can be the wrong answer for someone watching a whole fleet at once.
What you would work on:
- Design operator portals and dashboards that show fleet state, device health, and what went wrong, in a form someone can act on quickly.
- Design mobile flows for products used away from a desk, sometimes by people who are standing up and holding something else.
- Design for device screens, including kiosks and TV interfaces read at a distance and driven by a remote or a touch panel.
- Build and maintain design systems that survive handoff, with components an engineer can implement without guessing at the spacing.
- Run the research that decides what gets built, including user interviews, task analysis, and testing a prototype before it turns into a sprint.
- Work alongside engineers while they build it, since our teams are small and design decisions reach production within days.
- Contribute to how we present the work, from case study visuals through to the marketing site.
What we look for:
- A portfolio with complex interfaces in it, such as dashboards, admin tools, or operational software.
- Fluency in Figma, and the habit of building components rather than one-off screens.
- You can do research and synthesis as well as visual design, and you can show what changed as a result.
- You're comfortable designing inside an existing component library and its constraints.
- You hand off work an engineer can build, and you stay available while they build it.
Nice to have:
- Design tokens and theming across more than one product.
- Enough front-end familiarity to prototype in HTML, CSS, or Vue.
- Accessibility work against WCAG, including keyboard and screen reader paths.
- Data visualization, especially time series and fleet-scale tables.
- Designing for TV, kiosk, or embedded displays.
- Regulated domains such as healthcare or fintech, where a flow has to satisfy more than the user.
