Civilgrid Senior UX Designer at CivilGrid responsible for end-to-end design of spatial data interfaces for civil engineers and GIS teams. Collaborate with PMs, engineers, and UX researchers to deliver polished, user-centered products.
Responsibilities
Own design end to end for your area, from early concept and flows through high-fidelity design, prototyping, and shipped product
Partner with PMs and engineers as a true thought partner: shape scope, work through trade-offs, and design within technical constraints rather than around them
Translate complex spatial and workflow data - maps, layers, permits, project stages - into interfaces that feel simple even when the underlying data isn't
Work closely with our UX researcher to ground design decisions in real customer workflows, and run your own lightweight testing when speed matters
Contribute to and help evolve our design system, raising the bar on consistency and craft as the product and team grow
Move fast and get designs in front of PMs, engineers, and customers early and often rather than polishing in isolation
Partner with other designers and raise the bar by reviewing their work, honing their craft, and helping them grow
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
6+ years of product design experience, ideally including complex, data-dense, or technical B2B products
A portfolio that shows strong end-to-end thinking - not just polished screens, but the reasoning behind key decisions
Comfort designing for dense, structured data (maps, tables, layered information) without overwhelming the user
You can work independently from an ambiguous problem to a shippable design, and know when to loop in others versus move forward
Qualification

Required
6+ years of product design experience
Preferred
Bonus: experience designing for maps, GIS, CAD, or other spatial/geospatial products
Bonus: prior industry experience in Utilities, Construction, or Civil Engineering
Bonus: experience building or maturing a design system at an early-stage company
We're a small, but rapidly growing team that ships. Expect direct feedback, real ownership from day one, and proximity to customers — huge utilities, public agencies, and engineering firms whose work depends on what we build. We default to in-person collaboration where it matters and remote-friendly flexibility otherwise. We hire people who care deeply about their craft and the communities our customers serve.
