Our mission: give farmers and food producers peace of mind through real-time visibility, helping them protect their animals, prevent loss, and modernize their operations without complexity. Our products include BarnTalk, a wireless alarm and environmental monitoring system trusted across thousands of farms and enterprises, and Barn360, a biosecurity management platform.
About The Role
We're looking for a Product Designer to take ownership of product design at BarnTools. You'll work directly with our Head of Design, collaborating closely on the craft while building toward leading your own projects soon after onboarding.

Own product design end-to-end: research, flows, wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity UI, and developer handoff
Lead design projects independently within your first few months, from problem framing through shipped solution
Design clear, useful data experiences: dashboards, alerts, and visualizations that help users make decisions at a glance
Grow your scope quickly through tight feedback loops with the Head of Design, taking on larger and more ambiguous problems over time
Collaborate closely with engineering and product to scope work, iterate in production, and maintain high quality user experiences
Help maintain and evolve our Harvest design system to keep the product consistent and the team fast
What We're Looking For
3–5 years of professional experience designing shipped digital products
A portfolio demonstrating strong UX thinking and visual craft. Please illustrate your process, not just final screens.

Strong communication and the self-direction required for remote teamwork
Experience collaborating directly with product managers and engineers

Basic user research skills (interviews, usability testing)
Familiarity with agriculture, IoT, or hardware-connected software
Familiarity with HTML/CSS or motion design
How We Work
