Careers
Come build things that have to work.
We install systems that people depend on every day — and then we are the ones who get called when something goes wrong. That shapes how we hire: for people who care whether the work is actually right.

Open roles.
Roles are in the San Francisco Bay Area. The application goes to a person, not a parser.
Product
UX/UI Designer
Ongoing contract across several B2B products on one design system. First pass is a fixed-price flows-and-kit package, then hourly as each product grows. Not a full-time seat.
SF Bay Area · Hybrid1099 contract- Engagement
- Ongoing 1099 contract. Milestone prices are set against a frozen spec. This is not a full-time seat.
- First package
- A fixed-price flows-and-kit package, about three weeks. After that, $50–75/hr as each product grows.
- Location
- SF Bay Area, hybrid, with in-person working sessions for kickoff and reviews.
- Start
- Immediately after selection.
- Level
- Mid-level welcome. You work directly with the founding CTO. Early sessions are for breaking the product down together. After that, scope is deliverable by deliverable.
About the studio
We are a small Bay Area product studio. Several products, one stack, one visual language. You own the UX with us: who the user is, what they are trying to finish, what belongs on each screen, and what happens when it fails. Later products reuse the same tokens, components, and patterns so customers and our engineers are not learning a new UI every time.
The products are B2B web apps: dashboards, media and content libraries, status views, and auth and access-gate states. The first product in the queue is a digital signage CMS. Store owners upload content, build playlists, pair outdoor Android screens from a phone, and see what is playing. The app is a mobile-first PWA. The screen on the sidewalk has its own states: setup QR, downloading, no content, and error.
You take a real part in that breakdown. Bring a point of view on structure, priority, and what to cut. Sit with us and map the flows before the high-fidelity screens exist. When a familiar admin layout is the wrong job for the task, say so and show the alternative.
The screens still have to ship. We start from a Tailwind UI / shadcn component kit. Buttons, inputs, tables, cards, and dialogs stay that anatomy, restyled with our brand: color, type, radius, and density. Page structure, hierarchy, and flow are yours. Every screen is composed from those components, with tokens that map to our Tailwind theme, so the frontend team builds from the system.
What you'll do
- Flow breakdown with us: task flows, information architecture, and screen maps for the real jobs — what is primary, what is a phone layout versus desktop, what the owner does in two minutes at the store. You lead this. We review it together before high-fidelity work.
- Customer-facing web flows (mobile-first PWAs): libraries, editors, status dashboards, pairing or onboarding, and login, signup, and access-gate states. Include the path through the task, not a single happy-path frame.
- The states that show up in production: empty, error, offline, processing, permission denied, and partial data.
- Internal admin flows (lower fidelity is acceptable): customer management, operations, and fleet or account overview.
- Shared design system in Figma: a component library on our Tailwind / shadcn kit — buttons, inputs, selects, tables, cards, dialogs, toasts, and empty and error states — with sizes and variants (sm / md / lg, default / destructive / outline, and so on). One visual language. Every product screen is composed from those components.
- Brand foundations and design tokens in Figma variables: color, typography, spacing, and radius, named so they map 1:1 to our Tailwind theme and CSS variables (--background, --primary, --radius, spacing scale). No one-off pixel values that break the scale. Tokens are shared studio-wide after the first product; later products extend them.
- Handoff: the library, the flow maps, a short mapping note (token to Tailwind class or CSS variable), and a walkthrough with the frontend engineer. They should be able to build the screen from the system.
- On-device UI for the first product: public-screen states (setup QR, downloading, no content, error) must be on-brand.
What we're looking for
- Obsessive about task flow and information architecture — you can take a messy product apart, say what the user is trying to finish, and defend where each thing goes
- Shipped B2B / SaaS product design where you owned the flows, including the ugly states, and the shipped UI followed that map
- Expert Figma: components, variants, variables and tokens, and auto-layout
- Delivered a Figma design system (variables and component variants) that a frontend team implemented in Tailwind or a similar utility and token setup
- Mobile-first responsive web design
- Experience designing on top of existing component libraries (Tailwind UI, shadcn, MUI, or similar)
Nice to have
- Digital signage, media scheduling, IoT fleet, or multi-tenant admin products
- Motion and micro-interaction specs
- You have mapped Figma variables to a Tailwind theme or CSS custom properties in a real handoff
Apply for this roleHow to apply
- A portfolio with at least two shipped dashboard or SaaS products, and for one of them a short walkthrough of a flow you changed after working it through with the person building it — what moved, what you cut, and why
- A short note on how you would apply our brand to a shadcn / Tailwind UI kit and hand tokens to a Next.js engineer so they are not re-deriving sizes and colors from screenshots
- Your availability over the next six weeks
Shortlisted candidates get a paid screening task ($150, about three hours): design one screen, a resource-status card view, using tokens we provide, plus a short note on what you would move or cut and why. We evaluate how you think about the task, how you handle real-world states (offline, error, empty), and whether the screen is composed from the kit.

Why here
What you get out of it.
Real equipment, real projects
You will work on enterprise systems in commercial buildings from the slab up, not swap consumer cameras in retail units.
Training that is funded
Certifications, manufacturer training, and tooling are paid for. Getting better at this is part of the job, not a hobby.
Small team, direct line
No layers between you and the people making decisions. If something is broken about how we work, you can say so and it can change.
Health, PTO, and a truck
Medical coverage, paid time off, company vehicle for field roles, and the tools you need to do the work properly.
Nothing here fits, but you think you belong here?
