Senior UI Designer

YOUR MISSION

Creatives like you are essential to this mission — to inspire define and build. This is some of the most meaningful work you'll ever do in an industry devoted to protecting the people you care about.

We're looking for an experienced UI designer to join a growing creative team at an early and exciting moment for the company. This is a hands-on creative role — creating prototypes defining our design system and whatever else the mission demands. Your artistic talent is front and center; while a knowledge of UX is vital this role is focused on our visual direction you’ll be rolling up your sleeves and creating. You'll work directly with our Creative Director who’s building this team for people who care as much about the craft as the mission.

WHY THIS ROLE

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 build here will set the standard for how a critical industry empowers the people defending it — and right now that standard doesn't exist yet.

You'll have real ownership. From prototypes that shape our product strategy to the design system that operators will rely on in no-fail environments your work will be seen and used at the highest levels of government and military. This is the kind of design problem that doesn't come around often — where the craft genuinely matters to the outcome.

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

WHAT YOU’LL DO – UI design and execution 

• Help us build our product. Create component libraries and layouts to feed our engineering teams as they build our software products.
• Drive the vision for our products by creating and maintaining our style guide
• Develop prototypes that challenge the norms and push us forward
• Bring impeccable design and artistic vision into everything we do make us stand out

 WHAT WE’D LIKE TO SEE - We hire for talent and potential not pedigree.

• Show us an amazing portfolio that showcases your personal artistic skills and demonstrates your experience on projects you’re proud of
• While defense and space knowledge is great we don’t expect it. Tech Games design/creative agency and freelancer are all good backgrounds for this role
• We work in Adobe Creative Suite with Figma for our UI/UX — comfort with these is essential knowledge of others is a plus

WHAT WE EXPECT

• Leverage your experience to work quickly and efficiently we’re a lean team everyone needs to pitch in and move fast
• Take ownership of creative programs and see them through concept to final execution
• Turn your hand to what’s needed UI will be your primary focus but our company needs people able to wear multiple hats
