Senior Product Designer (UX/UI)
Mark43’s mission is to empower communities and their governments with new technologies that improve the safety and quality of life for all. We build powerful, scalable, and elegant software that sets a new standard for law enforcement tools and technology. Our users are diverse, and we are therefore committed to embracing diversity of thought and experience within our team.
As a Sr. Product Designer you’ll be entrusted with end-to-end design responsibilities on large swaths of product which are often being built from scratch without good precedents to follow. Working closely with product managers, you’ll participate in field research to understand users and their needs. Then you’ll define the functionality and form of our cloud-based software products through UX diagrams/flows and wireframes. You’ll get feedback from users and iterate through increasing levels of prototype fidelity. Finally, you’ll shepherd your production level designs through development by working with front-end and back-end engineers to ensure the final product fulfills the original goals.
We hope you're excited about building high-performance software products for power users who will be using your work daily to make communities safer, while also ensuring accountability in the justice system for all parties involved.
