What you'll do

• Making complex decisions feel effortless

Our platform handles everything from building physics calculations to fluid dynamics modelling to complicated compliance requirements. We need to make handling that complexity feel effortless for all our customers, irrespective of how tech-savvy they are.

• Designing across multiple touchpoints

You'll work on desktop design tools, homeowner-facing outputs, enquiry flows, mobile survey apps (incl LiDAR), and collaborative workflows that work seamlessly across different user types (from 3-person local installers to national utilities);

• Collaborating closely with developers \& shipping code yourself

Understanding data structures and technical constraints so your designs can be shipped quickly; and shipping PRs yourself when it makes sense (with the support of the dev team);

• Building systematic, scalable design systems

Creating robust, structured, and reusable components that work across platforms and for potentially low-tech users;

• Researching and validating

Interviewing and spending time with installers to deeply understand how they work and what the core problems to solve are; and building quick prototypes to test and validate design decisions and uncover unexpected pain points.

Who you are

• A designer with 3\+ years of product/UI design experience (and potentially a lot more), ideally in a startup context or within fast-paced, impact-focussed teams.
• Clear, systematic thinker

You love tackling complex flows;

• Comfortable with technical detail

Even if it’s a new domain;

• User-obsessed

You enjoy deeply understanding the user, solving their problems and making a tangible impact on them;

• Great with people

Confident running research with customers;

• Proactive and self-organising

Happy juggling multiple projects;

Nice to have

• Worked on tools for field teams, low-tech users, or on operational workflows
