Job Description

Own the design system that supports both information-dense dashboards and conversational interfaces.
Design the customer-facing booking portal, which must be co-brandable with the operator's identity.
Work directly with engineering and operations, you'll ship constantly.
Spend time with actual operators to understand how dispatchers, pilots, and freight handlers think about their work.

- Experience designing complex, data-rich applications (scheduling, logistics, mapping, or similar operational tools).
- Comfort with ambiguity and new interaction patterns β there's no established playbook for blending conversational AI with operational dashboards.
- Familiarity with responsive and mobile design β operators are on tarmacs and docks, not at desks.
- 3-5 years in a professional design role.
Benefits

- Salary/Equity split negotiable based on preference.
