Lead Product Designer

About David Energy

David Energy is creating a new kind of power company. Traditional Retail Electricity Providers (REPs) are outdated, opaque, and painful for customers to engage with. We use software to monitor our customers' real-time energy usage, and we aggregate and analyze that data to maximize the value they get from their energy assets – batteries, EVs, HVAC systems and other distributed energy resources (DERs) via participation in energy markets. Our mission is to run the grid on clean energy 24/7.

About the role

We are looking for a lead product designer to help us craft the experiences of our customers across our residential (B2C) and commercial (B2B) product lines.

• Create and iterate on our design system in partnership with engineers

We invite you to apply for this role if you have

• Skills spanning product, interaction, experience and visual design

• Experience collaborating directly with software engineers and product managers

• Experience leading user research across stages of the product life cycle

You could be an especially great fit if you have

• Designed products for consumers (B2C) and businesses (B2B)
