In the posting’s own words

Public Sector brings AI-powered decision support directly to government and national security customers. You'll design sophisticated tools for critical operations including crisis planning, geo spatial- visualization, and human-agent collaborative canvases.

What it asks for · 6

  • 10–15 years of experience across a range of design settings and problem types.
  • You're energized by complexity. You take dense, tangled systems and turn them into something elegant and easy to use, and you're at your best when the problem is hard.
  • You bring clarity to ambiguity. When requirements are unclear or still forming, you help define them rather than wait for them.
  • You own the end-to-end experiences. You've led B2B or enterprise products, from the first sketch through what ships.
  • Strong client-facing presence - confident presenting to and winning over senior stakeholders, whether in person or remote.
  • Working understanding of front-end development and how to hand off clean, implementable designs; comfort collaborating directly with engineers on code.

What the job covers

  • Own the end-to-end design, from undefined requirements through wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes.
  • Develop state-of-the-art techniques to leverage AI in design systems and processes.
  • Design for complex, data-dense workflows: dashboards, mapping interfaces, alerting systems, and analytical reporting tools.
  • Partner directly with Product and Engineering peers to turn ambiguity into clear product directions, work through tradeoffs and launch experiences.
  • Work directly in code alongside engineers, going beyond static mockups to help build and refine the shipped experience.
  • Work with customers, building direct relationships during key project touchpoints (discovery, feedback, post-launch) and confidently socializing design decisions with stakeholders.
  • Contribute design assets and interaction patterns back to the broader platform.

How this page was made

An automated read of a public job posting, fetched November 1, 2026 and last changed by Scale AI on October 22, 2026. Every list above is pulled from the posting’s own sentences — nothing rewritten, nothing added, no judgment about the role or the company. Counts and seniority are read off the text by rule, so they can be wrong where the posting is unusual. The original is the only thing that binds. Openings close without warning; check the source before spending an evening on it.
