UI Designer

Nobody has defined what mission-critical space software should look and feel like. There’s no decade-old design system handed down from a legacy defense contractor to follow. No committee approving your component library. The interfaces you help build here will set the standard for how a critical industry empowers the people defending it. 

This is the level where a lot of designers get stuck resizing banners and tidying slide templates. Not here. You’ll be drawing the product itself — the screens operators use to do serious work — and your work will be seen at the highest levels of government and military. Expect more range, and more responsibility, than the title suggests. 

If you’ve ever wanted your craft to carry real weight — this is that job. 

• →Help us build our product. Design screens, components, and layouts that feed our engineering teams as they build our software products. We’re not multi-platform or mobile, our focus is on a desktop environment.
• →Extend and maintain our scalable UI design framework — components, states, iconography, type, and color —keep it coherent and able to support future content and features.
• →Produce high-fidelity mockups and working prototypes quickly, then iterate on them faster.
• →Bring impeccable design and artistic vision into everything we do, make us stand out 

• Show us a portfolio of interface work with real visual craft — dense, complicated screens interest us more than landing pages
• A couple of years designing product UI, and the appetite to work at a pace that would surprise most product teams. UX design is not a requirement but knowledge of UX flow and best practices is useful.
• While defense and space knowledge is great, we don’t expect it. Tech, games, design/creative agency and freelance are all good backgrounds for this role
• We work in Figma for UI with Adobe Creative Suite alongside it — comfort with these is essential; motion, 3D, or a little code literacy is a plus 
• Leverage your experience to work quickly and efficiently, we’re a lean team, everyone needs to pitch in and move fast
• Take ownership of the work you’re given and see it through to final execution, with the judgement to ask early when something isn’t clear
• Turn your hand to what’s needed, UI will be your primary focus but our company needs people able to wear multiple hats. You’ll need to be comfortable working with multiple disciplines across the company. 

• Work Location—Successful candidates will be located near one of our offices in Long Beach, CA, Denver, CO, or Washington DC. However, for the right candidate we will consider remote.  
• Work environment—the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job.
• Physical demands—the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving.
