Municipal and county governments in 40+ states use GovWell's AI operating system to deliver better services, work smarter, and build public trust. Backed by Insight.
About the role
Government software has historically forced users to choose between two bad options: outdated systems that are painful to use, or newer tools that look better but can’t handle the complexity of how government actually works. We believe the next generation of government software should do neither. It should make extraordinarily complex workflows feel simple, intuitive, and even delightful. GovWell is hiring a Founding Product Designer to define what that future looks like.
What they're looking for
- Complexity, made simple: You have a track record of designing intuitive, beautiful products for complex use cases
- A player, not just a coach: You’re an exceptional hands-on product designer who can take an ambiguous problem through to a polished experience—and you’re excited to do the work yourself
- More than a pair of hands: You have strong product judgment. You challenge assumptions, simplify workflows, and help determine what should be built—not just how requirements should look
- AI-native, not AI-curious: You’re an active user of AI and have thoughtful, evolving opinions about how it should reshape software experiences
- Systems without bureaucracy: You can establish a design system that helps teams move faster without letting the system become more important than the product
- Clarity creates momentum: You communicate clearly and can bring founders, product managers, engineers, and customers along with your thinking
