About The Position

Downstream Systems, Inc. is a leading marketplace platform that's transforming the waste and construction industries from the ground up. We're on a mission to bring simplicity, transparency, and sustainability to two of the most essential—but often overlooked—sectors of our economy. At Downstream, we make it easy for contractors, builders, and businesses to find and book critical services like dumpster rentals, hauling, and site clean -up—all in just a few clicks. No more endless calls, confusing pricing, or waiting around. Our platform connects customers with vetted, reliable providers so they can get what they need, when they need it—without the headache. But we’re not just about convenience—we’re about impact. By streamlining logistics and digitizing the supply chain, we’re helping reduce waste, cut emissions, and build a cleaner, more sustainable future for everyone. Whether you're managing a small job site or a major development project, Downstream is here to help you keep things moving—efficiently, affordably, and responsibly. Let’s build better, together. We’re hiring someone with strong UX instincts and exceptional attention to detail to help shape how our product actually gets built. This is not a traditional design role and not a product management role. The work sits extremely close to engineering. Your job is to work alongside frontend engineers during implementation to ensure that features are intuitive, consistent, and polished. Instead of producing design handoffs, you’ll collaborate directly during the build process to refine flows, layout, spacing, and interactions. Think of this role as the closest you can get to engineering without writing code. You’ll be deeply involved in how the product behaves and feels in production. This is an entry -level role. Prior industry experience is not required if you demonstrate strong product instincts and attention to detail.
