Company mission
City Innovate's mission is to make technology a force for social good in government.
Role
Who you are
- You’re a strong production designer — fast, thoughtful, and clear
- You have 3–5 years of product design experience (bonus if it’s in SaaS or enterprise tools)
- You’re comfortable working independently and don’t wait around for all the answers
- You value clean, usable, modern design — and you can execute on it
- You communicate openly and collaborate without ego
- You love taking something off someone’s plate and coming back with real options
- You thrive in fast-paced environments and stay calm under shifting priorities
- You’re great with Figma: components, libraries, auto-layout, the works
- You design with real-world content and think beyond the “happy path”
- We work fast, collaborate often, and treat each other with respect — and we’re looking for someone who thrives in that environment
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a mid-level product designer to join our fully remote team
- This is a hands-on, production-focused role where you’ll take on design challenges, move fast, and collaborate closely with product and engineering to bring features to life
- You’ll be working directly with the Head of Product (also our current head designer), and your work will show up in the product fast
- You’ll have a lot of autonomy — and with that, a lot of trust
- Take rough product ideas and shape them into polished, user-friendly designs
- Design flows, screens, and interactions using our established design system (and improve it as you go)
- Work quickly — but with clarity and care
- Iterate in close partnership with the Head of Product and PMs
- Communicate proactively when something’s unclear or blocked
- Use real content, realistic edge cases, and thoughtful states (no lorem ipsum)
- Help make complex workflows feel simple for users who are often new to the platform
Application process
- Please share a link to your portfolio with at least 2–3 case studies that show both your design work and the thinking behind it
- We’d love to see how you’d approach a real challenge. As part of the process, you’ll complete a short design exercise based on something we’re actively working on. It’s the kind of thing you’d actually be doing here — not a whiteboard test or theoretical redesign
Our take
Although there is a clear correlation between technological innovation and the effectiveness of businesses in serving their clients, government as a whole has so far failed to adopt the same technologies to serve its citizens. Authorium, formerly City Innovate is a company facilitating the faster procurement of government-essential technologies at the federal, state and local levels, to help these institutions better serve the communities they are responsible for.
Authorium's no-code platform supplies visibility across digitization projects and streamlines the acquisition process from research to contracts and grants. By reducing the time taken to find and implement new technologies, governments using the company's platform can catch up with innovative trends, and use technology to the advantage of their residents. With strong funds at its back, Authorium is moving ahead with advancing its platform and growing operations towards making technology a force for social good.
