Lead Designer - Vimes

👯 ABOUT US

Vimes is building the universal operating system for government welfare, starting with child protection: our cross‑platform crisis‑intervention software replaces the paper trails and traditional email threads that slow schools, hospitals, police, and social‑services agencies. In 12 months, we launched a nationally adopted child‑risk metric, published an academically validated white paper, and cut average response times from 40 days to 12 hours for six pilot jurisdictions covering 320K citizens. Having recently closed a $2.2M pre-seed, we envision becoming the universal system of record for all of public safety, becoming a central hub for data and communications for all vulnerable populations.

We have a pipeline of 30+ cities, 15 states, and may cross $10M revenue barrier in the next 12 months. As we scale 10x and we’re looking for a lead designer to join us.

🌱  THE ROLE

We’re looking to bring a lead designer, for an in-person position in New York City or Bay Area (open to hybrid or remote but MUST LIVE IN U.S.).

As a small team, we work in a highly collaborative environment and you'll have the opportunity to participate in every stage of the company as we scale, reporting to the CTO/CEO.

⚙️ WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR (non-exhaustive list)

  • Extensive UI/UX design experience, plus for those coming from government tech, police tech, social impact, etc.

  • Strong skills developing detailed mockups on Figma/Adobe Illustrator

  • Ability to take a feature from spec to completion (wireframing, UI, data/backend, prototyping/QA, future reworks/iterations)

  • Have a startup-y background and love bringing products from concept to reality: the 0 → 1 phase.

  • Proven ability to design complex systems with clear, simple user interfaces.

  • Ability to learn new technologies quickly

📱  WHAT THINGS YOU (MIGHT) DO

  • App. You’ll be working with the team to design our mobile and web app, laying the foundations for a large-scale government and social impact product.

  • Designing easily-scalable design elements. As we build out our product, you get to make important choices and lay the foundations of our design theme and function.

  • Solving interesting technical problems. Bring your full creativity to solve any technical challenges along the way.

  • Collaborate with engineers, executives and other stakeholders to align designs with business goals.

  • Product. Help out with user research and product management duties as needed.

💌  COMPENSATION

You will be joining a small-team, high-velocity startup and thus will be compensated competitively. Some terms:

  • Competitive salary + offers equity

  • Performance bonus

  • Relocation compensation (if moving to the Bay Area / New York)

  • Monthly stipend for meals

  • Health insurance + 401K match

In any case, we hope you’ll join us because you find a fast-paced production velocity exciting and fulfilling, and you want to help us prove what’s possible.
