Senior Product Designer

Description

Our Mission:

Scope automates the data collection that's slowing down the physical world.

Standards are vital for the safety of our infrastructure. Spending hours manually documenting them is not.

Dave is an inspector. Today he’s climbing through one of Europe’s biggest chemical plants, looking for the corrosion that could shut the whole site down, with a notebook and pen in hand. Tomorrow, he’ll spend even longer on the part of the job he hates: turning those scribbles into a report.

We’re building the AI-native data collection layer for the 2 billion field workers like Dave. Scope radically simplifies how inspectors collect data in the field, make decisions, and produce reports. Along the way, we’re building the largest dataset on the condition of the built world and the decisions experts make about it.

It’s a $2T market and we’re just getting started. We're growing rapidly, and already work with 7 of the top 10 companies in the space. Our customers inspect facilities and products for companies including AstraZeneca and SpaceX.

We take pride in our talent density, and have assembled a best-in-class team: acquired and future founders, people from institutions like Imperial, Carnegie Mellon and Oxford, and from firms like Palantir, Goldman Sachs and Flexport .

Since launching from Entrepreneurs First in 2024, we've raised an oversubscribed $20m round led by Index Ventures , the firm behind Figma, Revolut and Wiz, with over 100 unicorns backed to date.

About the role

We're hiring our first Product Designer.

Every engineer at Scope is a product engineer: they talk to users, decide what to build and ship it themselves. You'll work the same way, with design as your edge, and help the engineers around you to build a better product. That covers the whole experience, not just the surface: which problem we solve, how the flow works, what happens when things go wrong, and how it all looks.

What you'll work on

Some examples of surfaces in our product that will need your help:

Our mobile app gets used inside tanks and on top of pressure vessels. People wear thick gloves, there's usually no signal, and one hand is often holding on to something. Most of what makes a normal app pleasant doesn't apply there, so a big part of the job is figuring out what does.

Then there's the report. How AI and the inspector will work together to produce 40 page reports and review them is something nobody has designed well yet.

Inspectors but also decision makers should be able to ask things like "Which tanks were over the corrosion limit last year?”

Responsibilities

• Go on site with inspectors and test your designs there, gloves and all.
• Own the design of every launch
• Prototype fast, in code when it helps.
• Work next to engineers while they build, so the details come out right.
• Create slick demos to be used in sales for what the product will look like in 12 months
• Build the design system that lets engineers ship great work without waiting on you.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years designing products
• You sweat the mobile details: touch targets, offline, errors.
• You know how to integrate AI seamlessly into user experience
• Happy to spend time in the field, excited by the physical world
• Bonus if you've designed for industrial or field work, or prototype in code.
• Interview process
• Intro call.
• Portfolio deep dive with Ish and an engineer: one project, including what went wrong.
• Interview with a cofounder: Jonny (CEO) or Jakob (CTO and CPO).
• Onsite: a real Scope design problem, worked on with the team, then a short presentation.
• Offer!

Benefits

• Competitive base + significant equity, so you have a stake in what you are building
• Full visa sponsorship, giving us access to global talent and an international, diverse team
• Private medical (0 excess, pre-existing conditions covered) + Dental
• Healthy meal-prep lunch and dinners, a fully stocked fridge, and team lunches on Fridays
• Regular events including off-sites
• We value diverse perspectives. If you don't match every point above but this is the kind of problem you want to work on, we strongly encourage you to apply.
