About Treeswift

To accomplish our mission we deploy our sensors into our customers' field operations, typically on backpacks or vehicles. The resulting trove of LiDAR and imagery data is processed through our AI models to deliver actionable analytics through our web platform. To date, our technology has enabled utilities to reduce wildfire, regulatory and outage risk from vegetation, avoid delays and cost overruns in new construction, and accelerate recovery from severe storms.

We are now working with 3 of the 5 largest utilities in the United States and are rapidly expanding across new customers and use cases. To tackle this challenge we are bringing together a team of mission-driven experts with deep industry experience in robotics (Penn, Caltech, CMU) and enterprise software development (Palantir, Stripe, Oracle, MongoDB). We have raised funding from leading investors including Penny Pritzker's Inspired Capital. Treeswift is headquartered in lower Manhattan, and maintains an office in Philadelphia. We also have some customer-facing team members based closer to our customer sites (i.e. Bay Area).

About The Role

You will be Treeswift’s first full-time design hire joining at a pivotal moment: our product is used by some of the largest utilities in the country, and we are scaling from our work with early partners to become the broader platform for modern utility field operations. This is a rare opportunity to define how design informs our product and organization from the ground up.

• Own end-to-end product design. Contribute to design across Treeswift’s core platform, from discovery and workflow mapping through polished designs, prototypes, implementation details, and post-launch iteration.
• Design for complex, real-world operational decisions. Our users rely on Treeswift to inspect, triage, and act on data collected in the field. You will design interfaces that make dense, multidimensional data understandable and actionable for arborists, storm responders, and utility operations teams.
• Build scalable product and design systems. Own our design system, component library, interaction patterns, and visual language. Help turn customer-specific workflows into reusable primitives that keep the product coherent as we expand.
• Partner deeply across functions. Work closely with product, engineering, forward deployed engineers, customer teams, and sales to translate customer needs into high-quality product experiences.
• Shape design culture at Treeswift. At Treeswift, curiosity drives how we approach problems, and high ownership drives how we approach execution. We are looking for someone who leads by example in this regard, and creates an organization in which these values continue to thrive as we grow significantly.

Experience / Skills

• 5+ years of professional product design experience, including meaningful time shipping complex B2B, enterprise software.
• A portfolio that shows strong craft across interaction design, information design, and visual design, especially for data-dense interfaces.
• Comfort operating as a senior IC and a leader simultaneously. You can run a workshop with executives, sit with a field inspector, and build Figma design files and interactive prototypes.
• Demonstrated comfort with ambiguity and excitement to work in an early-stage environment. You can be scrappy when needed, and also have experience helping teams mature their design practices over time.
• Fluency designing and maintaining design systems in production.

Nice-to-have, But Not Required

• Experience designing for geospatial, 3D, or map-heavy interfaces.
• Prior work in utilities, energy, infrastructure, construction, logistics, or other sectors with a large field or industrial component.
