Lead Product Designer

Descripción del puesto

Lead Product Designer (UX/UI & Research) London (Hybrid) | Contract | Start ASAP with potential for growth into our full time vacancy | Competitive salary The role We’re a well-funded startup building category-defining AI for architecture, engineering and construction: an archaic industry at a critical juncture. The Building Safety Act now requires firms to evidence their design decisions, and directors carry personal liability. Join Bite as our first in-house designer, initially for a 6 month contract, but with the potential to grow into our full time vacancy. Working strategically and directly with the head of product, founders and engineering team, you’ll own the entire design function and lead the transformation of our beta into a high-quality user experience that shapes the future of Bite’s AI for the built environment. Why join Bite The problem is genuinely hard. When a structural engineer changes a component in their building design model, the same component exists in drawings, schedules, specs and emails under different names, in different formats, some of which LLMs don’t understand, and with no shared identifier. Detecting these changes, predicting the downstream impacts and propagating them using AI under the engineer's supervision is the core of our product. You'll own the UX/UI for the whole product, not a slice of it. We're a small, agile, product-led team so if we need to pivot, we will prototype, test and build rapidly. You won’t find a feature factory or dependency delays here. Your work ships to people who pay. The platform beta is in production with signed customers that include some of the UK's leading structural engineering firms who are keen to build with us. With our tight feedback loops, you’ll have plenty of data to help drive your design decisions. What we're building Structural engineers work across numerous, fragmented sets of tools with no shared source of truth. When a design changes, propagating that change across files is manual,
