About the Role:  

The design team at Planet is looking for a strong product designer to lead efforts building Planet's platform experience (insights.planet.com - free trial available). As a product designer you’ll be responsible for end to end execution while being an advocate for both users and those impacted by the software you design. You’ll work incrementally with engineering and product on hard problems while keeping an eye on the big picture to bring product vision through to production. Plus, you’ll get a chance to work on impactful problems, in a rapidly evolving industry, that require truly novel design solutions.

This is a full-time, hybrid role which will require you to work from our Berlin or Ljubljana office 3 days per week.

Impact You’ll Own:

  • Gather customer feedback and conducting user interviews in collaboration with product partners 
  • Create UX and UI solutions for a global customer base

  • Partner with product management and engineering teams to ensure that the design work meets the highest quality standards
  • Be a part of building our design culture at Planet

What You Bring:

  • 4+ years of professional experience designing complex digital products - especially bringing new products to market
  • Bachelors’ degree in design or an equivalent field
  • Proficiency in designing for technical, SaaS, or B2B products, collaborating closely with product and engineering teams throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Experience working with Figma/Adobe and design systems
  • A design portfolio demonstrating examples of professional projects: the results and how you got there
  • End to end design experience: you’ve taken projects from early ideation to live software, gathered feedback and improved upon previous iterations
  • Experience overcoming design roadblocks and challenges
  • Standard industry design skillset in:
    • UX/UI-Design
    • Interaction Design and rapid prototyping 
    • Usability and accessibility
    • Visual design principles
    • User-centricity

What Makes You Stand Out:

  • Previous experience with GIS, geospatial data and/or remote sensing, OK if it’s only tangential
  • Previous experience with designing admin interfaces and payment flows
  • AI native mindset, experience with using AI tools for creative ideation and design/code generation
  • Experience solving complex problems where you have made contributions, communicated the problem and taken ownership of existing problems
  • Experience working on teams where growth was a common goal
  • Experience balancing empathy for others when it comes to product design and UX (both end users and stakeholder)
