We’re looking for a self-driven Senior UX Designer who can independently own complex problem spaces from discovery through delivery.

You’ll join a lean 3-person design team and work directly with product and engineering. This is a role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, simplifies complexity, and can design structured workflows for technical enterprise users.

You will operate in an extremely fast-paced environment where product direction evolves quickly based on customer feedback and market shifts. If you prefer clearly defined lanes and slow cycles, you might find this role challenging.

If you enjoy building structures where none exist, you’ll thrive.
