Job description

ABOUT GALLATIN At Gallatin, we are rebuilding logistics infrastructure for the national security missions of the United States and allied partners. We build AI systems that determine how logistics decisions are made — not just how they're executed. From factory to foxhole, we operate at the layer where data becomes decisions, and decisions make the advantage. ABOUT THE ROLE We're seeking a talented Product Designer to join our growing team. In this role, you'll work alongside senior designers and engineers to create intuitive, impactful solutions for military logistics decision making. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to national defense while developing your design career in a fast-paced startup environment. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Collaborate with senior designers to create user interfaces and experiences that serve the unique needs of military logistics operations - Develop wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes using industry-standard design tools - Conduct user research and testing with military stakeholders to validate design decisions - Support the creation of visual design systems that maintain consistency across our brand and products - Work closely with engineering teams to ensure successful implementation of designs - Participate in design reviews and contribute to product strategy discussions - Document design decisions and maintain design specifications WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR - US Citizenship (required for working with defense-related projects) - Bachelor's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or related field - 1-2 years of product design experience, preferably in a startup environment - Proficiency with design tools including Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and modern design/prototyping tools - Strong portfolio demonstrating UI/UX design capabilities - Excellent visual design skills with attention to detail - Strong communication skills and ability to articulate design decisions - Willingness to travel occasionally for user research and client meetings BONUS POINTS - Experience with or interest in defense/military applications - Familiarity with agile development processes - Knowledge of design systems and component libraries - Experience conducting user research and usability testing - Understanding of accessibility standards and requirements MISSION AND IDENTITY We are building the system that enables faster, smarter logistics decisions in contested environments, and we're doing it with a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, operators, and technologists who have built and scaled solutions in this space before. We hold ourselves to an extremely high standard. We value clear thinking, direct communication, and the kind of ownership that doesn't stop until something actually works. Our mission is to create decision advantage when the stakes are the highest. If we succeed, the system doesn't just run; it gets smarter. We're not building AI for its own sake. We're building it because faster, smarter decisions in the most demanding environments on earth can't wait. If you want to work somewhere the stakes are real and the mission is urgent — you'll fit in here. WHY GALLATIN? The logistics infrastructure that supports America's warfighters and humanitarian disaster responders is overdue for transformation, and we are building it. From defense operations to disaster response, we're solving the hardest problems that keep missions moving when it matters most. Join a team where the mission is the point. Gallatin is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.
