Product Designer, Mobile (Remote)

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 worldwide manage their fleet operations. Transportation technology is a hot market and we’re leading the charge, with raving fans and new customers signing up daily. We raised a $21M Series B in late 2020 and are on an exciting trajectory as a company.

We’re adding another talented Product Designer to our growing Product Design team to help us continue to build remarkable software. This role has a mobile focus — you’ll create intuitive, innovative, and pleasing iOS and Android mobile experiences that our customers will love to use. You’ll rely on user-centered design principles to produce high-quality interfaces from concept to execution and craft new user experiences that help solve complex problems. You’ll also collaborate with other product designers, engineers, and product managers to continually refine and iterate the Fleetio design language.

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! If you have an outstanding portfolio showcasing a foundation in typography, interaction design, pleasing aesthetics, ideation, and examples of designs that you have developed from concept to completion, please share it with us in your application. Be sure to mention coffee in your cover letter so we know you actually read this.
