Job: Staff UX Designer (Temp-to-Hire)

Type: Full-time, W-2, remote, temporary role

Duration: 4 months minimum, with the possibility of extending contract or becoming permanent employee

Want to work on the apps used for space capabilities and cutting-edge technologies? Yes, we said space!

Rocket Communications is an enterprise UX Design company focused on designing mission-critical applications and systems. We are seeking a remote Staff UX Designer for a 4-month contract, with the potential to be extended to 12 months or become a permanent employee.

Whether you call yourself a product designer, interaction designer, UX designer, or something else entirely: if you have the ability to look past the noise and identify core problems, this might be the right fit.

We are a small company dispersed across the US. Our work can be challenging and complex, but our team is fun, friendly, and supportive.

This is a remote role, however due to our work with federal government agencies we need someone who is a US Citizen and lives in the USA.

About You

• You have 10+ years of experience in UX/UI Design.
• You have experience working with Figma.
• You are a lifelong learner with the ability to learn complex knowledge quickly.
• You have experience in complex app design.
• You thrive in a fast-paced collaborative work environment.
• You have the ability to communicate design decisions, and are proficient at delivering design specs that can be understood and executed by developers.
• You have a portfolio or case study examples of your work and can discuss your design process during your interview.
• You are fearless in taking on new challenges.
• You have the courage to ask questions when you’re lost in conversations with really smart experts (we’re talking Rocket Scientists).
• You are a US Citizen who lives in the USA (due to Rocket's work with local and federal government agencies this is a firm requirement)
• You are willing to apply for a DoD Secret Security Clearance, if hired.

Bonus Points

• Experience working with Jira or another Agile software
• Experience working on a remote team
• Understanding of government and enterprise work
