UX/UI Designer

<h2>UX/UI Designer</h2> <h2><span style="font-size: 14px;">Company</span></h2> <p>Orcrist builds the Orcrist Intelligence Platform (OIP), a Kubernetes-based data intelligence system delivered as SaaS or self-hosted/on-prem (including air-gapped deployments). We help defense, law-enforcement, and enterprise teams turn complex data into actionable intelligence—securely and responsibly.</p> <h3>Role</h3> <p>Own UX and interaction design for analyst-facing surfaces across the OIP. You'll translate complex, data-heavy problem spaces into clear workflows, prototype experiences in Figma, validate usability, and deliver adoption-ready handoff packages that engineering teams can build from confidently.<br>A background in OSINT or intelligence analysis tooling is preferred, but what matters most is experience with data complexity as a core design challenge:&nbsp; large volumes of heterogeneous information, non-obvious relationships, and users who need precision under pressure.</p> <h3>What you'll do</h3> <ul> <li>Map analyst workflows, define jobs-to-be-done, and translate mission needs into measurable UX outcomes.</li> <li>Design end-to-end prototype experiences (flows + clickable prototypes) spanning search, analysis, enrichment outputs, and reporting surfaces.</li> <li>Define reusable interaction patterns and ensure designs align with core primitives (IAM/audit/multitenancy) and platform constraints (cloud/on-prem/air-gapped).</li> <li>Run rapid validation loops: usability testing, synthesis, iteration.</li> <li>Produce adoption-grade handoffs: annotated flows/specs, component guidance, edge cases, acceptance criteria, and integration backlog notes.</li> <li>Champion accessibility and data-dense usability for graph/geospatial/table-heavy experiences.</li> </ul> <h3>About You</h3> <ul> <li>5+ years designing complex B2B/enterprise or analytical products; portfolio required.</li> <li>Demonstrated experience with data-dense, high-complexity UX — graph/network analysis, timeline views, or large structured/unstructured record sets&nbsp; with performance and accessibility tradeoffs in mind.</li> <li>Strong Figma practice and design-system documentation habits that engineers can implement.</li> <li>Basic understanding of web development technology such as JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and the technical constraints of web and mobile development.</li> <li>Confidence in managing your workload and projects autonomously in a remote setting.&nbsp;</li> <li>Take initiative to identify opportunities, solve problems, and deliver results without waiting for direction.</li> <li>EU/NATO citizenship and eligibility for security clearance.</li> </ul> <h3>Nice-to-haves</h3> <ul> <li>Prior exposure to OSINT methodologies, workflows, or the analyst tradecraft behind open-source investigation.</li> <li>An intuition for how analysts think: forming hypotheses, tracking uncertainty, and building cases from incomplete information.</li> <li>Experience conducting research or pilots with government, defense, public-safety, or investigative users.</li> <li>German language (B1+).</li> </ul> <h3>What We Offer</h3> <ul> <li>Remote-first in Germany with regular Berlin workshops, 30 days vacation, equipment &amp; learning budget.</li> <li>High autonomy and real scope: designing across the full analyst journey, from search and enrichment outputs through to case-building and reporting.</li> <li>Mission-driven work with a strong culture of documentation and high-quality handoffs.</li> </ul>
