Product Design Lead

Texture•New York, NY

About The Position

The opportunity You'd be the first dedicated product designer at Texture, shaping how an entire industry transitions to modern software. We're building the operating system for the grid—the software layer that utilities, device manufacturers, grid operators, and everyday consumers use to manage and participate in distributed energy at scale. That means you're not designing one product. You're designing an ecosystem of interconnected surfaces for different users with different needs. The surfaces you'll own: Dashboards & analytics — real-time operational views, performance metrics, system health Maps & physical world — geographic visualization of device fleets, grid topology, location-aware workflows Enterprise tools — complex workflows for operators managing incidents, dispatching commands, auditing activity Consumer experiences — enrollment flows, device connection, onboarding that hides technical complexity Service design — end-to-end journeys across orgs, roles, and touchpoints Real-time collaboration — live cursors, multiplayer editing, shared workspaces where multiple users operate together This is the kind of work that stretches you. Data-dense interfaces that need to be fast and clear. AI-native workflows where humans and automation share responsibility. Consumer experiences that feel simple despite deep technical complexity. Enterprise tools where the stakes are real and the details matter. What we're looking for A designer with exceptional taste and strong instincts who can own our product's design direction and ship high-quality work at the pace of a fast-moving team.
