OpenSpace is on a mission to capture the built world. Powered by unmatched computer vision and machine learning; we need designers that can translate hard backend technology into simple and delightful experiences for users who have little time for mediocre products. If it’s not 10x better than how it’s done now, they will stick with the old way. It’s your job to harness our technology and turn it into magic for the customer. 

The Senior Product Designer role is not an entry level position. We are looking for at least five years of UX, visual, or product design experience. In this role you will drive the design of features within our core 360° image capture and image analysis products. Our product has a proven market fit but up until this point has been built one piece at a time. You will need to be able envision and evangelize how separate pieces live within a unified experience and design for scalability as we continue to build new things and enter new markets around the world. 

The Team

Changing how an entire industry does something is not accomplished by individuals but by well-oiled teams and our product team aims to be the best in construction technology. Design is an integral part of the equation. Our designers go beyond pixel-pushing to help the product team ideate and define features through a deep understanding of our customer and a wide knowledge of the best digital products across all industries. OpenSpace is a young (and growing!) company, as our second designer you will help determine the culture, best practices, and future design hires for the company as a whole. 

The Nuts and Bolts

No designer is equally comfortable getting their hands dirty with field research and knocking out stunning visual design. We get it. However, as part of a small team, you will be expected to be able to cover a lot of bases: user research, IA, UX, UI, prototyping, and product look and feel. In a world of T-shaped skill sets, we are looking for a deep T in UX/UI. Our designers must be equally comfortable designing for desktop and mobile but should approach problems from a mobile-first perspective. Construction industry knowledge, background in branding or visual design, and experience with designing for AR or digital 3D environments are all big pluses but not completely necessary.
