About this role

[REDACTED] delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground

Creatives like you are essential to this mission — to inspire, define, and build. This is some of the most meaningful work you’ll ever do, in an industry devoted to protecting the people you care about

We’re looking for a UI designer to join a growing creative team at an early and exciting moment for the company

This is a hands-on visual role — drawing screens, building components, extending our design system, and whatever else the mission demands

Your artistic talent is front and center; you’ll work alongside our senior designers, who will frame the problem while you own the craft of the answer. You’ll work directly with our Creative Director who’s building this team for people who care as much about the craft as the mission

Nobody has defined what mission-critical space software should look and feel like. There’s no decade-old design system handed down from a legacy defense contractor to follow. No committee approving your component library

The interfaces you help build here will set the standard for how a critical industry empowers the people defending it

This is the level where a lot of designers get stuck resizing banners and tidying slide templates. Not here. You’ll be drawing the product itself — the screens operators use to do serious work — and your work will be seen at the highest levels of government and military. Expect more range, and more responsibility, than the title suggests

If you’ve ever wanted your craft to carry real weight — this is that job

  • Help us build our product. Design screens, components, and layouts that feed our engineering teams as they build our software products. We’re not multi-platform or mobile, our focus is on a desktop environment
  • Extend and maintain our scalable UI design framework — components, states, iconography, type, and color —keep it coherent and able to support future content and features
  • Produce high-fidelity mockups and working prototypes quickly, then iterate on them faster
  • Bring impeccable design and artistic vision into everything we do, make us stand out
  • Physical demands—the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving

Benefits

  • 100% Employer-Sponsored Healthcare: We’ve got you covered! Our comprehensive healthcare package is fully sponsored, ensuring you and your loved ones stay healthy and worry-free, so you can focus on shaping the future of space security.
  • Generous Time Off: We believe in working hard and recharging fully. Our generous vacation policy gives you the flexibility to take the time you need to relax, explore, and come back energized to take on new challenges.
  • Equity: Own an equity stake in [REDACTED] as you build something transformative. With equity options, you’re not just working for [REDACTED]; you’re an owner. As an essential part of our growth and future success, we want you to share in the upside potential!
  • 401k and Roth 401k options: Plan for tomorrow with our 401K and Roth 401K options that put you in control of your financial future.
  • Learning & Development Opportunities: Your growth fuels our innovation. We’re committed to providing you with the resources and training to expand your skills, spark new ideas, and advance your career with us.
