Lead Product Designer

About The Role

Rune Rune Technologies builds mission-critical software for military logistics and sustainment. Our flagship product is TyrOS, an AI-enabled logistics command and control platform that gives commanders a single, real-time operating picture of their sustainment fight, from inventory and distribution to medical and operational planning, even in degraded and contested environments.

We're not a traditional defense contractor. We're a small, fast-moving team that combines deep operational experience in and with the DoD with the software discipline of the best product companies, and we apply that combination to a customer set that desperately needs it. We stay close to our users by embedding directly with military units during exercises and rotations, and we ship constantly based on what we learn.

The U.S. military and its allies face a real logistics modernization problem. We're building the software to solve it.

About The Role

As our Lead Product Designer, you'll have deep ownership over the TyrOS product experience - across web and edge-deployed systems, building solutions around maps, real-time data, forecasting, mission planning, and convoy routing.

You'll have more direct access to real users in real conditions than almost anywhere else you could work.

Qualifications

• 6-10+ years designing complex digital products, with a portfolio showing real shipped work, clear problem framing, and strong visual craft
• Deep interaction design and IA skills - you can untangle dense, stateful workflows and make them feel obvious
• Strong visual and systems design instincts: typography, spacing, hierarchy, and motion that feel cohesive
• Experience as a true cross-functional partner to PM and engineering, not a downstream service
• Proficiency in Figma and comfort moving between rapid exploration and high-fidelity, polished work
• A clear communicator across audiences - designers, engineers, and operational stakeholders alike

Desired Qualifications

• Experience with AI-enabled prototyping
• Experience designing tools for logistics, operations, defense, healthcare, or other complex operational domains
• Familiarity with geospatial or time-based data visualization (maps, timelines, charts)
• Experience working in fast-paced environments with evolving requirements and mission-driven goals
