Description

Design is an integral part of Fleetio’s culture and how we build products together. One of our core beliefs as a company is “Design is an important part of everything we do.”

Fleetio is a modern software platform that helps thousands of organizations around the world manage a fleet. Transportation technology is a hot market and we’re leading the charge, with raving fans and new customers signing up every day. We recently raised a $21M Series B round and are on an exciting trajectory as a company. We have only begun to scratch the surface of our potential. This is why we are seeking a Product Designer to join our growing design team and help us create an amazing product.

As a Product Designer, you will create intuitive, innovative, and, most importantly, useful software interfaces that our customers will love to use. You will rely on user-centered design principles to produce high-quality visuals from concept to execution and craft new solutions for complex problems. You will collaborate with other product designers, engineers, and product managers to continually refine and iterate the Fleetio design language system.

If you are a creative, driven, and passionate designer who intentionally puts yourself in the shoes of customers and thinks deeply about how to improve their experience, we would love to hear from you! Be sure to mention coffee in your application so we know you actually read this.
