About the Role

We're hiring a Staff Product Designer to join our Design Team. You'll report to our Head of Product Design, Ario Jafarzadeh.

Our team is highly specialized, and the core skillset for this role is a deep-thinker who understands complex systems and workflows. You will work across our squads, rotating fluidly across geospatial, ICAM, and other areas, using a product perspective to create a seamless user experience.

About You

Curious, creative, and collaborative, your focus on user experience shapes an intuitive aesthetic. You play with the latest tooling, form “strong opinions loosely held,” and have discerning personal taste - and you can articulate its value to end users.

You have worked on projects involving aspects of creative support, data visualization, or modern collaboration where innovative design was vital to their success.

You understand that while AI is changing the world (as will whatever comes next), the fundamentals of design are still just that - fundamental. Style matters, but it complements substance, it cannot replace it. You wince anytime you see bad kerning.

You have a low ego, high EQ, and higher ethics. You’re a lifelong learner, driven by the endless pursuit of mastering your craft to support your users.

What You’ll Do

As a product designer at Onebrief, your job will be to solve complex military planning problems and help develop a seamless, end-to-end planning tool.

You will have the opportunity to travel and partner with military planners from around the world, empathize with their needs, and translate those into design solutions. You will have the support of a team of engineers, product managers, and designers. Your work will span across UX, UI, and user research and will cover all facets of the product, from defining ground-up new features to shaping our design system.

Most importantly, you'll work as a true partner to our product managers and founders, with plenty of flexibility to reshape your role over time as needed for yours and our company's success.

What We Look For

• You can discover what users truly need even when they don't understand it themselves

• You work well with Customer Relations, Engineering, Product, and other colleagues

• You have an “owner’s mentality” and are comfortable sharing your ideas and perspective with the C-suite, and you take accountability when they reflect in the real-world

• Most importantly:

  • You are collaborative, work iteratively, and are scrappy and solutions-oriented

  • You have an understanding of or interest in the military and defense tech space

  • You actively experiment with the latest tools: Figma Make, Claude, Codex

  • You thrive as a self-starter, embracing autonomy and ambiguity

  • You are a U.S. citizen
