UX/UI Designer

Role

Design the map-first experiences at the heart of OIP's geospatial intelligence capabilities. You will shape how analysts explore spatial data, investigate patterns across sources, and make sense of complex operational pictures.

The workflows you design are used by people making high-stakes decisions under time pressure. Clarity, precision, and reliability matter more than visual polish. You will work closely with engineers, product managers, and analysts to turn complex data into interfaces that are fast to learn, hard to misread, and built to last.

What you'll do

• Design map-centric product experiences: layers, timelines, annotations, overlays, and spatial filters that analysts can navigate quickly and confidently.
• Define user workflows for geospatial analysis, connecting map views with structured and unstructured data exploration.
• Create wireframes, interaction flows, and high-fidelity prototypes that guide engineering and product decisions.
• Build and maintain design systems and UI components for analytical and spatial interfaces.
• Run user research and usability testing with analysts and operators, and feed what you learn back into the product.
• Work closely with engineers to make sure designs hold up against large datasets and technically complex tools.
• Design for connected, offline, and air-gapped environments from the start, not as an afterthought.

About You

• 5+ years designing complex B2B software products, with a portfolio that shows end-to-end work from research and workflows through to polished interfaces.
• Experience designing data visualization or map-based products: you understand the specific challenges of spatial interaction at a product level.
• Strong skills in interaction design and information architecture, particularly for analytical and data-dense interfaces.
• Proficient in Figma and comfortable working with design systems and component libraries.
• Easy to collaborate with: engineers, analysts, and product managers are your daily partners and you know how to work across those boundaries.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with map-based or location intelligence products (mobility, GIS, logistics, or geospatial analytics).
• Familiarity with spatial interaction patterns: layers, zoom-based exploration, map annotations, geospatial filtering.
• Experience designing for mission-critical or regulated environments where reliability and auditability shape design decisions.
• Exposure to geospatial or GIS domains such as mapping platforms, satellite data, or location intelligence systems.
• German language (B1+) and/or experience conducting pilot evaluations with public-sector users.
• Experience in regulated or mission-critical environments.

What We Offer

• Remote-first in Germany with hybrid Berlin office, 30 days vacation, equipment & learning budget.
• High ownership and end-to-end scope: prototypes spanning ingest, processing, ML enrichment, search, and UI.
• Mission-driven work supporting critical customers across public and private sectors.
