Staff Product Designer

A Better Built World At Meridian Softworks, we’re on a mission to help construction contractors build with confidence. If we’re successful, we’ll make it easier and faster to build critical physical infrastructure - roads, bridges, utilities, data centers, housing, etc. For decades, construction and field services contractors have had to run their businesses on outdated software: clunky, on-premise systems created in the 1980s and 1990s. That’s where Meridian Softworks comes in. We’re using AI and embedded payments to rebuild the core HR, finance, and operations systems that underpin our physical economy. Using Meridian Softworks, contractors like Marathon Electrical , W.J. O’Neil , and Truebeck Construction are building stronger teams, controlling job costs, and accelerating jobsite execution. This idea is resonating. Since we launched in 2021, we’ve grown to thousands of customers and tens of millions in ARR, making us one of the fastest growing vertical software companies ever. To double-down on our momentum, we’ve raised $50M+ from top investors (Bessemer, Coatue, and Battery) who share our belief that we’re just getting started. About the Team & How We Work: Meridian Softworks is helping contractors re-design their businesses, giving them tools to better manage the complex workflows and challenges they face in the back office and at the job site. We’re in the early days of our journey, and the potential to transform construction for the better is massive. Design is AI first and builder-led at Meridian Softworks. We leverage tools like Cursor and Claude to move quickly from idea to concept, explore flows and interactions, and then progress to Figma and Storybook for systems and polish. We stay close to the customer, ship quickly to learn, and embrace new ways of working. As Staff Product Designer, you’ll play a critical role by leading design strategy and execution. You’ll meet with our customers to learn about their unique needs and workflows. You’ll collaborate daily with product and engineering, enabling the team to ship features that raise the bar on quality and user experience (and even shipping small features of your own).
