Full Job Description
About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer who thrives at the intersection of complex systems, AI, and craft. You'll research, prototype, and ship products that help military logisticians synthesize constraints and act within large-scale environments, both simulated and physical. Embedded within the Product team and reporting to the Director of Product Design, you'll blend human-factors rigor with rapid AI-assisted prototyping to increase the teamʼs learning velocity. This is a role for someone who nerds out over information density, emergent system behavior, and the design challenge of making complexity feel approachable.
What You'll Do
  • Collaborate with Product Managers and Engineers to develop user interfaces and
    experiences that serve the unique needs of military logistics operations
  • Champion emerging best practices around AI prototyping to iterate at the speed of
    thought
  • Conduct user research and testing with military stakeholders to validate design
    decisions
  • Support the maturation of design systems that maintain consistency across our
    brand and products
  • Participate in design reviews and contribute to product strategy discussions
    Document design decisions and maintain design specifications
What We're Looking For
  • US Citizenship (required for working with defense-related projects)
  • Bachelor's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or related field
  • 5 years of product design experience, with demonstrated work on complex,
    data-rich, or systems-oriented products
  • Background in or exposure to defense, intelligence, or government technology
  • Fluency with design tools including Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and modern
    design/prototyping tools
  • Ability to think in systems: you consider states, edges, flows, and failure modes
  • A portfolio that shows you can design for complexity (not just simplify it away)
  • Excellent visual design skills with attention to detail
  • Strong communication skills and ability to articulate design decisions
  • Willingness to travel occasionally for user research and client meetings
Bonus Points
  • Experience designing for simulation, modeling, logistics, or other domains where
    users reason about dynamic systems over time
  • Familiarity with front-end development (enough to prototype in code or pair
    fluently with engineers)
  • Knowledge of accessibility standards, particularly for information-dense interfaces
Mission and Identity

We are building the system that enables faster, smarter logistics decisions in contested environments, and we're doing it with a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, operators, and technologists who have built and scaled solutions in this space before. We hold ourselves to an extremely high standard. We value clear thinking, direct communication, and the kind of ownership that doesn't stop until something actually works.

Our mission is to create decision advantage when the stakes are the highest. If we succeed, the system doesn't just run; it gets smarter. We're not building AI for its own sake. We're building it because faster, smarter decisions in the most demanding environments on earth can't wait. If you want to work somewhere the stakes are real and the mission is urgent - you'll fit in here.
Compensation: Gallatin offers competitive compensation commensurate with experience. Actual compensation may vary based on experience, skills, and location. In addition to base salary, we offer a generous equity grant, full healthcare coverage, 401k, unlimited PTO, and the perks of working in a high-caliber, mission-driven environment.
