Task Force Talent is seeking a UI/UX Designer for a very well-funded early-stage company working on automated methods to build highly reliable, large-scale software systems. The key responsibilities in this role will be to create intuitive user interfaces, develop and maintain design systems, implement responsive web designs using modern tools like Figma, and collaborate with engineering teams to deliver high-quality user experiences. The founding team at this client is exceptional: they have started and sold two prior companies, the last one to a top tech giant, and they have built systems that others said could not be built. They have assembled a team (~40-50) of incredibly talented, very high-end scientists and engineers who like to solve "impossible" problems. Morale at this company is very high, and so are the hiring standards. This company is looking for top engineers who can work with a team and enjoy what they do. Target salary range is 120k to 200k+ plus equity, depending on experience level. (Note: At $170k base salary or above, generally candidates need at least 5+ years of experience and a very strong interview.) All positions are full-time, in-office near Tysons Corner, VA, in the Virginia tech corridor. There is a small future possibility of work in the UK.
