Product Designer (who codes)

ABOUT SPECKLE

At Speckle, we’re on a mission to shake up the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry. To do that, we're building an open-source collaborative data hub that breaks down barriers and connects architects, engineers, and designers across every project stage.

Think of Speckle as the glue that ties together the digital delivery process, empowering AEC teams to access, share, and process their data seamlessly—without limits.

Speckle is driving the shift toward an open ecosystem, fostering collaboration to create a better-built environment. As our users often say: Speckle is not a tool, it's a way of working.

Our fully distributed team of 26 is spread across the UK and Europe, thriving on flexibility, inclusivity, and a shared passion for open-source principles. We may work remotely, but we stay connected through regular company retreats—where we brainstorm and bond.

ABOUT YOUR NEW TEAM AND THE ROLE

Our Product & Engineering team is split into two: one team is focused on our 20+ connectors, another – on the web platform. The web platform is where users go to collaborate in our browser-based 3D viewer, manage their projects, set up and run automations, and learn through our docs, community hub and marketing site. Your main focus will be the web platform.

The web team is currently made up of another designer, six engineers, a product lead (he's hiring for the role, so DM him on LinkedIn if you have questions about the role), and a tech lead. We're always collaborating, especially with the Growth and Community teams, but really with everyone at Speckle - it's how we get things done. The team is small and you will have a massive impact both internally and on the industry.

We are growing and seeking an experienced Product Designer (who codes) to be a key contributor in bringing our SaaS offering from its still early stage into a mature and easy to use platform. Speckle is already loved by a large community, but we still have a ton of work to do to make working with 3D data more approachable to anyone. Excellent design and UX are at the center of this.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design a product that the community loves to use every day. Speckle is a work tool so it has to be intuitive, efficient, and joyful.
• Use your frontend skills to take part in the implementation as well – with help from the rest of the frontend team. Our frontend is a Vue.js/Nuxt app with Tailwind.
• Help maintain our Webflow-based marketing site by designing and 'implementing' new pages.
• Run projects end to end. You have a part to play in the whole process from research, through to ideation, design, implementation, testing, and refinement.
• Help come up with features and improvements that ship quickly and with high quality.
• Take part in user research by joining calls with excited community members.
• Contribute to our visual language and design system to ensure a consistent and beautiful user experience.

In a nutshell a product designer at Speckle is someone who think of themself as a designer, but coding is a big part of their process. We expect a person who can fully fill the role of a designer on a given project, but they also take part in the frontend implementation.

The role fits into the highly technical and product-focused culture at Speckle, where we believe the lines between engineers, designers, and PMs should be quite blurry. We love when a designer skips Figma, an engineer writes the project brief, and when a PM submits a pull request.

THIS POSITION IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF

• You have several years of experience designing clear, intuitive and visually appealing user interfaces.
• You have strong HTML and CSS skills and basic JS skills.
• You are passionate, self-driven and care about the little big details.
• You value input from anyone and are comfortable sharing your work early and often – critique and collaboration elevate quality.
• You value working in a fast-paced iterative environment.
• You have strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.

Bonus points:

• Experience with Webflow.
• Experience with Vue.js and Tailwind.
• Strong visual/brand skills.
• Passion for the AEC industry.
• Experience with 3D software.
• You have built great things with a small team.
