Senior Product Designer

About this role

THE COMPANY
We are NEURAL EARTH. We bring clarity to physical risk, enabling leaders to engage with confidence and enact resilient, business-critical decisions. Today's environmental, economic, and infrastructure challenges are deeply interconnected, yet the data required to understand these relationships is scattered across siloed and aging systems. Neural Earth enables operational execution, delivering a single decision intelligence platform that unifies planetary, governmental, and asset-level data, always on and always learning. This is technical work that requires patience. It requires teams willing to operate at the intersection of AI research, geospatial science, distributed systems, and enterprise deployment. It is also incredibly rewarding. Join us at Neural Earth — the next frontier is here.

THE TEAM

Our Product design team is small, agile, and operating at the center of the Product. You'll work directly alongside the Chief Product Officer (CPO) as a UX Engineer and Customer Success Manager, forming a tight-knit quartet responsible for the full design output of the platform. Your work will feed directly into a cross-functional engineering team of 10, meaning your decisions have an immediate, visible impact on what gets built. You'll need to be equally comfortable working from structured product-led requirements and responding to design needs that emerge from engineering. Context switching fluidly between planned roadmap work and fast-moving technical requests is part of the role.

THE ROLE

Neural Earth is seeking a Senior Product Designer to own the design of our geospatial intelligence platform used by analysts, underwriters, and operators to make high-stakes decisions using AI-powered spatial data. You will lead design end-to-end across our core products, from map-based risk dashboards to AI-assisted decision workflows, reporting directly to the CPO and working in close partnership with engineering and data science to ship experiences that are both technically rigorous and deeply intuitive. The biggest opportunity in front of you is defining what great looks like at the intersection of geospatial data and AI, a design challenge that is yours to shape. You are a designer who holds the craft bar high under startup pressure, who finds the UX complexity of AI-native products energizing rather than intimidating, and who thrives when your work has a direct, visible impact on what gets built. This is you!

HOW YOU’LL BE SUCCESSFUL

- Design: craft end-to-end experiences for map-based and AI-assisted features from early-stage concept through production-ready specs with the rigor and clarity that lets engineers ship with confidence

- Translate: communicate complex geospatial and AI-driven workflows into interfaces that feel intuitive to non-technical users, making model outputs, confidence levels, and spatial data legible without sacrificing depth

- Lead: drive user research and usability testing across our core user personas (e.g. analysts, underwriters, and operators) synthesizing insights into design decisions that are grounded in real-world use

- Collaborate: partner with engineers and data scientists throughout the build cycle, using your front-end literacy to close the gap between design intent and implementation quality

- Evolve: advance Neural Earth's design system, establishing scalable patterns for geospatial UI, AI explainability, and data visualization that raise the quality bar across the entire product surface

WHY WE VALUE YOU

- You are a designer who holds the craft bar high under startup pressure, who finds the UX complexity of AI-native products energizing rather than intimidating, and who thrives when your work has a direct, visible impact on what gets built.

- You have 5 or more years of product design experience with a portfolio that demonstrates clear ownership of complex, data-rich features from problem framing to shipped product.

- You have designed geospatial or mapping products, whether to map UIs, spatial dashboards, GIS workflows, or location-based tools, and understand the unique interaction challenges they present.

- You have experience designing AI-assisted interfaces, including how to communicate model outputs, uncertainty, and recommendations in ways that build user trust rather than confusion.

- You are proficient in Figma, including components and design systems, and know how to use it to collaborate effectively with both engineers and stakeholders.

- You are familiar with mapping libraries and geospatial tools and can hold a meaningful conversation about the technical constraints of map-first product design.

- You approach user research as a core design skill, not an afterthought — you run interviews and usability tests, and you know how to turn messy qualitative data into clear design direction.

- You have enough front-end literacy (HTML/CSS/React) to prototype in the browser, inspect implementations, and flag gaps between design and code without needing an engineer to translate.

- You are a strong communicator who can articulate design rationale clearly to engineers, product managers, and executive stakeholders alike.

- You are a self-starter who thrives in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and takes ownership of your work without waiting to be directed.

REQUIREMENTS

- 3–6 years of experience in product design, with demonstrated focus on complex data or geospatial products

- Prior experience in B2B SaaS, climate tech, insurance, infrastructure, or defense sectors

- A portfolio that includes shipped map-based or spatial data interfaces

- Experience designing for AI-assisted or model-driven products where communicating uncertainty and confidence is part of the UX challenge

- Ability to accommodate occasional travel as needed (~10%)
