🏢 About LevelTen Energy
LevelTen Energy is at the forefront of the renewable energy transition, providing the industry's leading transaction infrastructure and cloud-based software. Their platform streamlines complex procurement processes, making it easier for buyers and sellers to accelerate clean energy adoption. Working here means contributing directly to a mission-driven company that is reshaping the energy landscape.
About This Role
As a Product Designer at LevelTen, you'll own the end-to-end design of features within their renewable energy procurement platform, tackling complex B2B SaaS challenges. Your work will directly impact how energy buyers and sellers interact, driving efficiency and adoption in a rapidly growing market. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on solving intricate problems and wants to see their designs make a tangible difference in sustainability.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with a stand-up with product and engineering to align on priorities, followed by sketching wireframes or refining high-fidelity mockups in Figma. You'll likely collaborate with a product manager to review user research findings or conduct usability tests with internal stakeholders. Afternoons could involve iterating on designs based on feedback from engineers or presenting a new feature concept to the team.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who LevelTen Energy Is Looking For
- A designer with 3+ years of B2B SaaS experience, preferably in a startup environment, who is comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration.
- Proficient in Figma and skilled in translating complex data into intuitive, user-friendly interfaces. Familiarity with HTML/CSS is a plus.
- A strong portfolio that showcases not only UI/UX expertise but also problem-solving in data-heavy or workflow-oriented applications.
- Deep empathy for users and a data-informed approach, using both qualitative research and quantitative metrics to drive design decisions.

Show your collaboration skills by describing how you worked with product managers and engineers in a fast-paced startup. Mention specific tools (e.g., Figma, Jira) and processes (e.g., design sprints).
