About Us:
Outpost is building the backbone of freight. We’re reinventing how supply chain infrastructure works in America with carrier agnostic truck terminals. As a vertically integrated real estate, operations, and technology company, we acquire and operate mission-critical real estate across the country to serve the largest logistics providers in the world. Backed by $1B from Greenpoint Partners, we’re scaling and building the most valuable logistics network in the country.
We thrive on accountability, integrity, and a shared drive to raise the bar. If you’re excited to reshape the industry alongside a high-performance team with a championship mindset that executes relentlessly, welcome aboard.
Role Summary:
We are hiring a Senior or Principal Product Designer to join our Product & Technology team in Seattle. Reporting to our Chief Product & Technology Officer, you will work closely with product, engineering, marketing, and cross-functional stakeholders across Operations and Solutions Engineering to build and extend our design system, delivering polished, user-centered experiences across web, mobile, and drive-up kiosks. The level will be determined based on your experience, scope of ownership, and demonstrated impact.
This is a hands-on role for a designer who thrives working on complex, operationally-critical, multiplayer products and can move very quickly without sacrificing quality. Our users are drivers, guards, yard operators, remote ops, VPs of operations, and IT managers at major logistics companies — people working in loud, fast, physical environments where a confusing, inefficient, or oversimplified interface costs real time at a real gate (potentially even backing up traffic into a highway).
Key Responsibilities:
- Embrace AI as a core part of the design workflow — across research synthesis, prototyping, documentation, and ideation — and actively look for new ways it can raise the quality and speed of design work across the team.
- Execute high-quality product design work across web, kiosk, and mobile platforms.
- Translate complex logistics and freight data into clear, intuitive, and actionable interfaces.
- Contribute to and maintain design system components and patterns in Figma, Lovable, and design-built prototyping tools.
- Partner with the Product & Technology team to deliver designs that are technically feasible and user-validated.
- Conduct and synthesize user research using Dovetail to inform design decisions.
- Design data visualizations and dashboards that surface meaningful insights for internal and external users.
- Participate in design reviews and contribute structured, high-signal feedback.
- Stay current on AI interaction paradigms and SaaS UX trends and bring relevant ideas to the team.
Qualifications:
SHARED ACROSS BOTH LEVELS
- Lead role - own design for the entire product, end to end, top to bottom.
- Strong focus on interaction design and data-heavy SaaS applications.
- Proven ability to work within systems and contribute to a shared design library, rather than designing individual screens in isolation.
- Experience designing complex workflows, multi-step processes, and data-rich interfaces.
- Demonstrated willingness to adopt and integrate AI tools into daily design practice.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills across distributed teams — Outpost's Product & Technology team spans Seattle (PT), Austin (CT), and LatAm.
- Proficiency with Figma, Lovable, Dovetail, PostHog, ClickUp, Claude, and /or other AI tools.
- Comfort with logistics, freight, IoT, or similarly technical domains is a plus.
