About The Position

We’re hiring a Product Designer to join a growing operations and compliance SaaS platform built for trucking companies and fleet operators. This is a hands-on design role for someone comfortable owning product design independently. You won’t be joining a large design team, but you also won’t be starting from zero. We have an existing product, an existing component foundation, and a strong need for someone who can bring structure, consistency, and design judgment as the platform grows. Right now, product and design responsibilities sit too close together, which means things ship but design can become the bottleneck. You’ll help change that. This engagement starts as a contract role with a clear path to full-time for the right person. You’ll work closely with the Product Manager and engineering team to move features from rough requirements to clear, thoughtful, dev-ready designs. This is not a spec-decoration role. You’ll be involved while problems are still being shaped, asking the right questions, catching UX issues early, and making sure every workflow makes sense to the people using it. This is a complex, workflow-heavy product with dense interfaces, operational edge cases, and detail-oriented users. There is a real opportunity to strengthen our design system, establish scalable patterns, and improve a product used daily in a highly regulated industry.
