CHAOS Industries builds a multi-product portfolio powered by Coherent Distributed Networks (CDN TM), giving military, commercial, and border teams the ultimate advantage: domain dominance. Backed by Accel and NEA.
About the role
CHAOS is looking for a Staff UX Designer to establish and lead the UX function from the ground up. This is a staff-level role: you'll operate with significant autonomy and influence, setting the direction for how UX is practiced across the company rather than working within an established function. You'll bring best-in-class UX practices to CHAOS — research, interaction design, information architecture, and usability — and apply them to the tools and interfaces our teams rely on. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Lead UX design for key products and internal tools, from early concept through shipped experience, operating as the senior-most UX voice in the room
- Partner closely with engineering to design and refine interfaces, workflows, and interactions, balancing user needs with technical constraints
- Introduce and establish user research practices at CHAOS — usability testing, user interviews, and other methods to ground design decisions in real user needs
- Define and advocate for UX best practices, standards, and processes across the company, with the authority to set direction
- Build the foundation for a growing UX function, including processes, standards, and practices that can scale over time
- Translate complex, technical, or novel workflows into intuitive, well-designed user experiences
