About the role
- Design and rapidly prototype user interfaces for geospatial intelligence platforms, OSINT analytics tools, and mission-critical data systems
- Build click-through demos with design tools as well as functional prototypes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern frameworks (React, Vue, or similar) to validate designs before full implementation
- Collaborate with product managers and directly with end users (intelligence analysts, military operators, government clients) to understand workflows and pain points in operational environments
- Create and maintain design systems that scale across multiple products whilst remaining flexible enough for rapid iteration
- Work embedded with engineering teams to ensure designs are technically feasible and can be implemented within sprint cycles
- Design for complex data visualization scenarios including large-scale geospatial datasets, temporal analysis, and multi-source intelligence correlation
- Build user interaction mapping tests and maintain user observability tools. Iterate rapidly based on operational feedback, system performance constraints, and evolving mission requirements
- Document design decisions, interaction patterns, and component specifications in a way that engineering teams can implement without constant clarification
- Design and document user behavior flows and work with stakeholders in data engineering and customer-facing roles to ensure user SOPs remain up to date with these flows
- Conduct lightweight usability testing with actual users in operational contexts, adapting methods to suit classified environments where necessary
- Balance aesthetic quality with functional requirements, understanding that clarity and speed often trump visual flourish in mission-critical systems.
Requirements
- 3+ years of professional UX design experience with a portfolio demonstrating shipped production software
- Proficiency in modern design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD) with demonstrated ability to create high-fidelity prototypes
- Working knowledge of front-end development: HTML, CSS, JavaScript sufficient to build functional prototypes and communicate effectively with engineering teams
- Experience designing for data-intensive applications (dashboards, analytics platforms, business intelligence tools, or similar)
- Proven ability to work at pace in fast-moving environments where requirements evolve based on user feedback and operational demands
- Strong communication skills with ability to articulate design decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design process from problem definition through to shipped product (include before/after examples, rationale for decisions, and measurable outcomes)
- Experience conducting user research in constrained environments (remote testing, limited participant availability, or similar)
- Eligible to obtain security clearance (citizenship and background requirements vary by location)
Benefits
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans
- Flexible hybrid work environment
- Additional benefits like flexible hours, work travel opportunities, competitive vacation time and parental leave
