Product Design Lead

About the role

You'll be the first dedicated product designer at Texture, shaping how an entire industry transitions to modern software. We're building the operating system for the grid-the software layer that utilities, device manufacturers, grid operators, and everyday consumers use to manage and participate in distributed energy at scale. You're not designing one product; you're designing an ecosystem of interconnected surfaces for different users with different needs. Surfaces You'll Own Dashboards & Analytics: Real-time operational views, performance metrics, system health Maps & Physical World: Geographic visualization of device fleets, grid topology, location-aware workflows Enterprise Tools: Complex workflows for operators managing incidents, dispatching commands, auditing activity Consumer Experiences: Enrollment flows, device connection, onboarding that hides technical complexity Service Design: End-to-end journeys across organizations, roles, and touchpoints Real-Time Collaboration: Live cursors, multiplayer editing, and shared workspaces for multiple users This is the kind of work that stretches you: data-dense interfaces that need to be fast and clear, AI-native workflows where humans and automation share responsibility, simple-feeling consumer experiences despite deep technical complexity, and enterprise tools where the stakes are real and the details matter.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end product design across multiple surfaces-from early concepts through detailed specs and implementation support
• Design data-heavy interfaces including dashboards, tables, maps, and timelines that make complex systems understandable and actionable
• Design AI-native experiences: conversational interfaces, intelligent suggestions, and workflows that blend human judgment with automation
• Create consumer-facing flows: enrollment, device connection, and onboarding that feel simple despite technical complexity
• Build and evolve our design system (140+ components and growing)
• Ship fast with high standards-prototype quickly, make decisions, and deliver without endless iteration
• You Might Thrive Here If You:
• Want to own the whole thing, not just a slice
• Move quickly and make decisions without waiting for perfect information
• Are comfortable with ambiguity-can turn a half-formed problem into a great experience
• Can shift between dense enterprise tools and simple consumer flows without losing quality
• Collaborate deeply with product and engineering (not just handing off specs)
• Are comfortable being customer-facing-talking to users, understanding their needs, and translating them into the right design
• Care about craft, but care even more about shipping the right thing

Requirements

• A designer with exceptional taste and strong instincts who can own our product's design direction and ship high-quality work at the pace of a fast-moving team.
• 5+ years designing complex products, ideally B2B or enterprise
• Strong systems thinking and excellent visual design
• Proficiency in Figma and component-based design systems
• Experience with AI/ML products, copilot-style interfaces, or generative UI
• Experience with developer tools, APIs, or platform products
• Frontend familiarity (React, HTML/CSS)
• Early-stage startup experience (0→1)
• Experience in energy, utilities, or infrastructure software
