Lead Product Designer

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.

• 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.
