Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience as a Product Designer working on complex B2B SaaS or enterprise software products
- Strong product thinking skills with a proven ability to simplify complex workflows and systems
- Experience conducting user research and speaking directly with customers to inform design decisions
- A high degree of ownership and initiative—you’re comfortable finding problems, defining scope, and driving solutions independently
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work closely with product and engineering partners
What the job involves
- As a Lead Product Designer at Miter, you’ll have significant ownership over the design of core workflows and experiences across our platform. You’ll play a central role in shaping product direction, with the autonomy to identify problems, set priorities, and drive solutions that meaningfully impact how contractors run their businesses
- You’ll work closely with product and engineering to design simple, intuitive experiences on top of complex enterprise systems. We value clarity, speed, and craftsmanship, and expect designers to bring strong product thinking and user-first instincts to every decision
- This role is deeply customer-facing. You’ll spend time with contractors, payroll admins, and field teams to understand real-world workflows and translate that insight into thoughtful, practical design
- Own design across multiple product areas, driving end-to-end workflows from problem discovery through execution and iteration
- Proactively identify usability gaps, workflow friction, and opportunities to simplify complex HR, payroll, and operational experiences
- Partner closely with Product Managers and Engineers to translate ambiguous problems into clear, intuitive product solutions
- Conduct user research, customer interviews, and usability testing to ground design decisions in real customer needs
- Design simple, scalable, and user-friendly experiences for complex B2B SaaS workflows, cutting unnecessary steps and reducing cognitive load
Our take
Miter is addressing the productivity issue in the construction industry. With construction expenses on the rise and many building companies still using HR and financial software originally developed in the 90s, Miter leverages breakthroughs in fintech infrastructure to create new HR, compliance, and financial software for construction companies.
It's all-in-one offering provides construction companies with payroll, labor compliance, and spend management tools that will help to save time and therefore bid on more public sector projects. Ultimately, most contractors outsource this type of work, so Miter saves money on employment too.
Founded in 2021, Miter has developed a sturdy and flexible platform which has a lot of promise. And now with some impressive funding, the company is ready to scale further to meet the needs of international clients.
