About The Position

We're looking for a Product Designer with solid UI and UX design skills who is eager to contribute to our defence and public safety technology platform. You'll work closely with engineering teams and a senior designer to translate client requirements into intuitive, mission-critical interfaces — designing features that support intelligence production workflows including search, geospatial visualization, entity analysis, and data-rich operational tools. You'll collaborate with product management and engineering teams to understand use cases, participate in defining workflows and storyboards, and produce wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes. You'll actively contribute to product brainstorming, interaction design, and visual design sessions, helping shape how defence and public safety professionals interact with analytical tools, data fusion capabilities, and automation features. You'll be designing for technically sophisticated users operating under pressure in high-stakes environments, with guidance and mentorship from a senior designer. Our learning-oriented culture is transparent, fun, and strongly encourages work-life balance.
