Product Design Lead

The Opportunity

You’ll be the first dedicated product designer at Texture, shaping how an entire industry transitions to modern software.

We’re building the operating system for the grid—the software layer that utilities, device manufacturers, grid operators, and everyday consumers use to manage and participate in distributed energy at scale. You’re not designing one product; you’re designing an ecosystem of interconnected surfaces for different users with different needs.

Surfaces You’ll Own

Dashboards & Analytics: Real-time operational views, performance metrics, system health

Maps & Physical World: Geographic visualization of device fleets, grid topology, location-aware workflows

Enterprise Tools: Complex workflows for operators managing incidents, dispatching commands, auditing activity

Consumer Experiences: Enrollment flows, device connection, onboarding that hides technical complexity

Service Design: End-to-end journeys across organizations, roles, and touchpoints

Real-Time Collaboration: Live cursors, multiplayer editing, and shared workspaces for multiple users

This is the kind of work that stretches you: data-dense interfaces that need to be fast and clear, AI-native workflows where humans and automation share responsibility, simple-feeling consumer experiences despite deep technical complexity, and enterprise tools where the stakes are real and the details matter.

What We're Looking For

A designer with exceptional taste and strong instincts who can own our product's design direction and ship high-quality work at the pace of a fast-moving team.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end product design across multiple surfaces—from early concepts through detailed specs and implementation support

Design data-heavy interfaces including dashboards, tables, maps, and timelines that make complex systems understandable and actionable

Design AI-native experiences: conversational interfaces, intelligent suggestions, and workflows that blend human judgment with automation

Create consumer-facing flows: enrollment, device connection, and onboarding that feel simple despite technical complexity

Build and evolve our design system (140+ components and growing)

Ship fast with high standards—prototype quickly, make decisions, and deliver without endless iteration

You Might Thrive Here If You:

Want to own the whole thing, not just a slice

Move quickly and make decisions without waiting for perfect information

Are comfortable with ambiguity—can turn a half-formed problem into a great experience

Can shift between dense enterprise tools and simple consumer flows without losing quality

Collaborate deeply with product and engineering (not just handing off specs)

Are comfortable being customer-facing—talking to users, understanding their needs, and translating them into the right design

Care about craft, but care even more about shipping the right thing

Requirements

5+ years designing complex products, ideally B2B or enterprise

Strong systems thinking and excellent visual design

Proficiency in Figma and component-based design systems

Nice to Have

Experience with AI/ML products, copilot-style interfaces, or generative UI

Experience with developer tools, APIs, or platform products

Frontend familiarity (React, HTML/CSS)

Early-stage startup experience (0→1)

Experience in energy, utilities, or infrastructure software

Benefits

Competitive salary and benefits

Opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects in the energy sector

Collaborative and innovative work environment

Career growth and development opportunities

Location

New York City preferred. Flexible for the right candidate.
