About Mytra

We’re creating an entirely new way to solve the most ubiquitous problem in industry - moving and storing material. We’re applying robotics and distributed software to create a new class of product for this $1T market. We’re focused on the supply chain industry first. The industry is in a massive bind with the continued growth of e-commerce, sharp rise in costs, and supply chain disruptions.

As a UX designer you’ll collaborate with teammates from across the company to build a deep understanding of product needs and bring those to life. We expect you to have broad experience and the ability to advocate for user-centered design. You’ll get an opportunity to collaborate with more than 6 different engineering disciplines, working on a wide variety of projects – defining everything from the user experience of forklift operators using the automation system to the software that powers it.

Example Projects

• Create and maintain a design system for Mytra products
• Develop personas and user journeys to guide engineering design and development
• Conduct user research, design wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups to ensure our products are intuitive and meet user needs
• Engage in iterative design processes, incorporating feedback from internal teams and customers to refine and improve the product experience
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and other key stakeholders to build and iterate on designs

• You’re very comfortable with creating wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes within Figma.
• You are proficient in conducting user research, including interviewing and usability testing.
• You're skilled at aligning product design with broader business strategy, ensuring that your work balances user insights and business goals.
• You're excellent at breaking down complex problems into clear, actionable design solutions.
• You are excited about working on an immature project, growing together, and shaping the future of the company.
• Uncertainty isn’t scary, and you’re willing to realize mistakes and pivot.
• Openness, inquisitiveness, and constant ambition are important values.

A Final Note

You’re encouraged to apply even if you can’t take on every example project in its totality. We work closely and collaboratively at Mytra - No one takes on projects alone. We seek people who are eager to work together, learn new things, and bring unique perspectives.
