Significant portions of the product are are best described as developer facing software product (i.e. SDKs, CLIs) and require contribution from designers that have relevant experience. Other portions of the product leverage web technologies and UIs to support configuration management, scenario design, mission planning, mission rehearsal, debrief, and test and evaluation process. The supported workflows with these products range from the highly visual/experiential experience of the operator using a ground-control-station (GCS) client to mission plan and command-and-control, to autonomy engineers working within the Integrated Development Environment, to Test Engineers using the web portal and extensible CLI tool. As such, Hivemind is a highly complex and technical product that enables complex workflows across multiple collaborating teams.

  • Facilitate design strategy workshops and collaboration to drive alignment and momentum.
  • Influence cross-functional planning, roadmap prioritization, and long-term product vision through design shaping rituals.
  • Advocate for the user experience in company-wide discussions; help shape how product success is defined.
  • Mentor other designers through feedback, partnering and thought leadership.
  • Lead design reviews to collect feedback from engineering, product and customer surrogates, and align features and capabilities
Required qualifications:
  • Master’s in design, HCI, or demonstrated work experience at a comparable level of expertise.
  • 8+ years of professional experience in product/UX design with a track record of shipped, user-facing products.
  • A portfolio demonstrating exceptional interaction design.
  • Expertise with modern design tools (Figma, ProtoPie, etc.) and workflows (design systems, component libraries).
  • Experience leading product initiatives end-to-end - from exploration to final implementation.
  • Strong systems thinking and the ability to scale and improve design frameworks.
  • Excellent communication skills, able to clearly present design rationale to non-design stakeholders.

  • Prior experience in a Principal or Staff-level design role at a product-led company.
  • Background in designing enterprise software, platforms.
  • Experience designing developer-facing software tools.
  • Familiarity with geospatial interfaces and complex data visualization or analysis workflows.
