Catena · Remote (US) · Full-Time
We're building the connectivity layer that freight has been missing — normalizing real-time telematics and execution data from hundreds of thousands of trucks and trailers into a single API. The product is technical, the data is dense, and the customers are sophisticated operators. Your job is to make all of it feel simple.
This is our first design hire. At 15 people, design isn't a downstream handoff. It's how we think through problems before we build them — and the person who joins now sets the standard for everything that follows.
Product Design — you'll design the interfaces our customers actually use: data dashboards, analytics views, operational workflows, developer-facing tools, and configuration interfaces. The work is technically complex and data-heavy. Your job is to make it feel intuitive without hiding what makes it powerful.
Brand & Marketing Design — you'll help shape and maintain Catena's visual identity across everything customer-facing: website, sales collateral, marketing graphics, presentations, email campaigns, and event materials. Consistency and polish matter here — first impressions in enterprise freight are hard to recover from.
Website & Content Design — you'll help evolve how Catena communicates its platform online. That means designing pages that make complex integration workflows and technical capabilities legible to a non-technical buyer — and credible to a technical one.
Cross-Functional Collaboration — you'll work directly with product and engineering to move ideas from concept to shipped product. At this stage, that means getting into the room early, helping structure problems visually before anyone writes a line of code, and staying close to implementation to make sure quality holds.
Strong candidates have worked on data-heavy or developer-facing products and understand that designing for technical users is its own discipline — it's not about simplifying things into oblivion, it's about making complexity navigable. You're as comfortable in Figma mocking up a dashboard as you are in Illustrator building a conference one-pager.
Specifically, you:
2+ years in product design, UX/UI, or a hybrid product and brand design role. Experience with SaaS platforms, data products, or developer tools is a meaningful plus.
Catena has raised $8.25M from Shaper Capital, Floating Point, Plug and Play, Liquid 2, and leading industry angels. Customers are already using us in production — many of them are also investors.
Design at Catena is foundational, not decorative. The person who joins now will set the visual and experiential standard for everything we build — the product, the brand, and how we show up in a market that hasn't historically cared much about either. That's a rare opportunity to do work that actually sticks.
