Someone with deep experience shipping complex, data-heavy software products, who can look at a hard problem and draw on well-established patterns to get us to a strong design quickly. Much of what we\u0026#39;re building has no precedent to borrow from, so you\u0026#39;ll need to invent: distilling complicated research ideas into clear, intuitive experiences from scratch.\u0026amp;nbsp; Your process is grounded in research and evidence; you balance what users need, what the mission demands, and what\u0026#39;s realistic to build.\u0026amp;nbsp; You reflect thoughtfully on how we work and are comfortable pushing for change.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;h4\u0026gt;What You\u0026#39;ll Need:\u0026lt;/h4\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;ul\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;8+ years of professional product design experience in industry, focused on web applications and software products.

Everything we build sits on top of ML, whether that\u0026#39;s an analyst acting on vessel detections or a technical team training models and building agents on our platform. You\u0026#39;ll need to get fluent enough to design for both, and to make concepts like training runs and evaluation metrics legible to non-experts.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;A portfolio demonstrating at least one software interface design project, submitted with your application.\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;/ul\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Preferred qualifications:\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;ul\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Experience at small or growth-stage companies, where you own outcomes end to end without heavy process scaffolding.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Experience designing for varying user groups: non-technical people acting on AI output, non-English speakers, or users on low-bandwidth connections.\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Experience with geospatial interfaces: maps, layers, time sliders, spatial querying.\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;/li\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;A demonstrated track record of building and self-directed learning.

That means designing for the entire loop: managing and inspecting datasets, making sense of complex model configurations, reading evaluation results, and deciding what to change on the next iteration. And once a model is running, how do we explain a prediction to someone who wasn\u0026#39;t in the room when it was trained?\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Multi-tenant agents:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt; We are building an agent-orchestration platform to power our next generation of AI products, starting with\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;a href=\u0026quot;https://www.skylight.global/news/shippy-launch\u0026quot;\u0026gt;Shippy\u0026lt;/a\u0026gt;, our maritime-domain-awareness agent. This is an open design question we find genuinely exciting: what does a software product look like when you stop clicking through it and start asking it questions? We want our agents to show their work, so people can see how an answer was reached and decide whether to trust it. Figuring out how agents live inside a rich, interactive platform, rather than sitting off to the side in a chat window, is a big part of this role.\u0026lt;/p\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Building confidence in our models:\u0026lt;/strong\u0026gt; We use satellites like\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;a href=\u0026quot;https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/Copernicus/Sentinel-2\u0026quot;\u0026gt;Sentinel-2\u0026lt;/a\u0026gt;, and \u0026lt;a href=\u0026quot;https://science.nasa.gov/mission/landsat-9/\u0026quot;\u0026gt;Landsat\u0026lt;/a\u0026gt; to detect vessels globally in near-real-time, and we\u0026#39;re expanding into other maritime conservation problems from the same imagery. How do we build trust with our users that our models work while also\u0026amp;nbsp; being\u0026amp;nbsp; transparent about when they don’t. How do we make precision and recall meaningful to someone who has never heard the terms, and who has to act on what we show them?
