CadMakers is hiring a Product Designer to shape the core experience of cmBuilder, our visual construction planning software platform. You will craft new experiences and improve existing ones in a fast-paced, collaborative product environment, working closely with product, engineering, and stakeholders.
What You'll Do
- Make a visible impact by improving everyday usability and shaping new features, including ambiguous projects where you help define and craft solutions.
- Work directly with customers by planning and facilitating research, learning their language, and translating real-world problems into clear, actionable design direction.
- Operate with a high level of ownership and autonomy, driving projects forward, asking the right questions, making informed design decisions, and clearly communicating the reasoning behind them.
- Use a range of prototyping methods for iterative feedback and gathering insights.
- Communicate design concepts and decisions clearly to stakeholders, engineers, and collaborators.
- Collaborate closely with teammates, constructively challenging each other and holding the bar high for quality and craft.
- Contribute to and evolve our design system, using it consistently, maintaining it, and identifying opportunities to improve and extend it.
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in Product/UX/UI design.
- Strong user-centered design approach, with experience solving problems in complex or technical domains.
- Comfortable working in ambiguity, collaborating to help define problems and requirements, and not just executing predefined tasks.
- A technical mindset and curiosity about how designs get built; you should ask good questions and collaborate effectively with engineers.
- Demonstrates curiosity and hands-on experience with emerging AI tools, especially for accelerating workflows, enhancing creativity, and gathering feedback.
- Experience working with design systems, including designing at a pattern level and creating frameworks others can build on.
- Strong UI craft, with a clear eye for clean design and disciplined use of proven industry and internal patterns.
Nice to Have
- Knowledge of the construction industry is a plus, but not required.
