Expert judgment and AI to make permitting manageable, predictable, and fast. Backed by CRV.
About the role
Design and effectively communicate compelling user flows and specifications for stakeholders and engineers Leverage AI across the design lifecycle from desk research to high fidelity prototypes and production code
What they're looking for
- You're a product designer who cares deeply about designing the right thing before designing the thing right
- Driven by curiosity, you find yourself obsessing over problems that "feel weird, but I don't know why yet"
- Craft is a core value (and one of ours) - You have an infectiously high quality bar for how the product shows up, nothing gets past your design QA, and you know how to bring others along the way
- There is a method to your madness - you use principles and frameworks to solve problems of varying scale, knowing there's no single right approach (but there are wrong ones)
- Excited about designing for work – at this point everyone uses software to do their jobs, you’re energized by making complex domains simple to work in
- You are energized by working for startups. Translation: fast paced, async collaboration via Slack, can create something from nothing, act as an owner, and hold strong opinions loosely

We support rollout programs for brands like J.Crew, Solidcore, and Hibbett Sports, as well as major data center buildouts, EV charging networks, and other commercial projects. Our platform dramatically reduces approval timelines, improves forecasting accuracy, and removes thousands of hours of manual work from design and construction teams.
