Role Overview

• We’re building a product that makes a real-world impact in community safety, and we’re looking for a UX Designer who can bring structure, clarity, and usability to complex, evolving ideas. If you’re someone who enjoys turning messy, early-stage feature ideas into user-centered wireframes and flows — we’d love to talk.
• This isn’t a visual design role — we have a UI designer (and a component library) for that. Your superpower is structure: you know how to design flows that just make sense, even when you’re starting with imperfect inputs.

What You’ll Do

• Translate user stories and rough product concepts into clear, intuitive wireframes and flow diagrams
• Collaborate closely with the Product Owner and UI Designer to shape features and UX logic
• Work with developers to co-create edge cases and flow logic — you’ll help shape the way features work
• Apply usability heuristics, accessibility standards, and common-sense UX thinking to everything you design
• Use and evolve our component library, working with the UI designer to propose improvements
• Communicate your design logic clearly and collaborate well with cross-functional teams

What We’re Looking For

• 3–6 years of UX experience, ideally in fast-paced, product-led environments
• Strong wireframing skills using tools like Figma (or equivalent)
• A deep understanding of usability principles and heuristic evaluation (You’ve probably read Don’t Make Me Think — and maybe even Form Design Patterns or “Drop-downs: the UI of last resort”)
• Sharp interaction design instincts — you know when to use a dropdown vs. radio buttons, how to minimize cognitive load, and how to structure choices clearly for real-world users
• Ability to work from ambiguity — you don't need polished feature specs to start designing
• Experience working alongside devs and product managers in agile or iterative delivery teams
• A portfolio that shows how you think — not just pretty screens, but strong logic and structure

Why Join Us?

• We’re building something with purpose — a tool that improves real lives
• You’ll work closely with the CEO and have strong influence over product UX direction
• Flexible work setup — remote, hybrid, or in-person as you prefer
• Work with a UI designer and development team that values thoughtful UX
• Help shape not just the product, but the design culture as we grow
