At Mach9, Product Designers craft the core experience that brings the power of AI and geospatial data to civil engineers around the world. You’ll work closely with engineering, product, and customers to translate deeply technical problems into clear, intuitive tools that accelerate infrastructure design.
This role is ideal for designers with experience designing for complex systems and technical users, working across the design stack, and the flexibility to move quickly when it matters.
You’ll lead the design for a modern 2D/3D web-based environment that blends CAD-like precision with the usability of modern consumer tools, striking the right balance between rigorous design process and rapid product iteration.
Where you will make an impact:Lead design for core product workflows, from 3D feature extraction to quality assurance and geospatial review
Partner with product, engineering, and marketing leadership to decide priorties, and ensure the shipping of quality and impactful features and products
Grow and mentor the design team at Mach9
Collaborate closely with engineers to refine prototypes into polished, high-performance user interfaces
Own the evolution of our design system and visual language, ensuring consistency across a growing product surface area
Navigate technical constraints and real-world edge cases without sacrificing user experience
Balance multiple priorities across customer needs, technical feasibility, and speed to value
Drive both long-term UX vision and fast-moving delivery in a startup environment
4+ years of product design experience, ideally in technical, data-heavy, or 3D product environments
Experience working on complex products with constraints related to spatial data, design precision, or engineering-driven interfaces
Strong visual design, interaction design, and systems thinking skills
Fluency in Figma and comfort working with and evolving robust design systems
Demonstrated ability to work hand-in-hand with engineers to ship high-quality, thoughtful interfaces
Comfortable moving between deep design exploration and pragmatic, iterative delivery
Prior work with CAD, BIM, 3D modeling tools, or geospatial interfaces
Familiarity with frontend technologies (e.g., React, Three.js, TailwindCSS)
Experience conducting or synthesizing user research with highly specialized users
An eye for visual clarity and information hierarchy in high-density UIs
Mach9 is transforming civil infrastructure design with AI-powered geospatial tools. Our platform accelerates the creation of engineering deliverables from raw data, cutting manual drafting time by 96×. Trusted by global leaders in engineering and construction, we’re backed by Y Combinator, Quiet Capital, and top founders and executives from Cruise, Autodesk, Adobe, and DoorDash.
We believe the needs of a startup benefit from an in-person culture. The team works out of our office in SoMa, with the flexibility to work from home when needed.
