Lead Product Designer

The role:At Mach9, Product Designers craft the core experience that brings the power of AI and geospatial data to civil engineers around the world. You’ll work closely with engineering, product, and customers to translate deeply technical problems into clear, intuitive tools that accelerate infrastructure design.This role is ideal for designers with experience designing for complex systems and technical users, working across the design stack, and the flexibility to move quickly when it matters.You’ll lead the design for a modern 2D/3D web-based environment that blends CAD-like precision with the usability of modern consumer tools, striking the right balance between rigorous design process and rapid product iteration.Where you will make an impact:Lead design for core product workflows, from 3D feature extraction to quality assurance and geospatial reviewPartner with product, engineering, and marketing leadership to decide priorties, and ensure the shipping of quality and impactful features and productsGrow and mentor the design team at Mach9Collaborate closely with engineers to refine prototypes into polished, high-performance user interfacesOwn the evolution of our design system and visual language, ensuring consistency across a growing product surface areaNavigate technical constraints and real-world edge cases without sacrificing user experienceBalance multiple priorities across customer needs, technical feasibility, and speed to valueDrive both long-term UX vision and fast-moving delivery in a startup environmentWhat you bring:4+ years of product design experience, ideally in technical, data-heavy, or 3D product environmentsExperience working on complex products with constraints related to spatial data, design precision, or engineering-driven interfacesStrong visual design, interaction design, and systems thinking skillsFluency in Figma and comfort working with and evolving robust design systemsDemonstrated ability to work hand-in-hand with engineers to ship high-quality, thoughtful interfacesComfortable moving between deep design exploration and pragmatic, iterative deliveryBonus experience:Prior work with CAD, BIM, 3D modeling tools, or geospatial interfacesFamiliarity with frontend technologies (e.g., React, Three.js, TailwindCSS)Experience conducting or synthesizing user research with highly specialized usersAn eye for visual clarity and information hierarchy in high-density UIs
