Job Description
Provision
Provision is automating construction. We help contractors speed up their work, reduce risk, and eliminate errors that cost the industry more than $500B every year. Our mission is to make construction more profitable, so society can build more. We are building the most ambitious vision of what is possible with AI in construction.
Provision is a YC-backed late Seed stage company with over 10M in recent funding from some of the world's best investors and operators in the construction technology space, including YCombinator, Sequoia Capital (via their scout program), DroneDeploy, PlanGrid (acquired by Autodesk), and Cercano (Microsoft Co-Founder Paul Allen’s fund), formerly known as Vulcan Capital (investors in Uber, Alibaba and Spotify).
Come join our team and work alongside builders from Procore, Fidelity, and YC-backed startups who move fast and solve hard problems.
Responsibilities - Interaction and visual design. As a product designer, you'll be involved at every stage of design work. You'll help define early product concepts, flesh out the high-level workflow and micro-interactions of a feature, and execute on a crisp and effective visual design. You should have experience with mockup and prototyping tools.
- User research. We frequently do informal user research, and value people who can be flexible with research processes and methodologies to achieve the right outcome.
- Prototyping. You will prototype, both to communicate your designs and validate your decisions.
- Partnering with our Product Manager. We also work closely with product engineers to realize our design ideas. You'll treat engineers as partners and collaborate with them to prototype and build out products.
- Awareness of how software interfaces are built. Familiarity with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Typescript is appreciated. You don't need to be an expert—just fluent enough to collaborate with engineers, and know what's possible with frontend technologies. Resources and mentorship are available to designers who want to learn more.

- An iterative design process. You validate your ideas early (with stakeholders and users) and are thoughtful and intentional in seeking and responding to feedback. You move fast, listen, and adapt. You rapidly incorporate feedback, and prioritize collaboration. You are adept at giving and receiving critiques.
- Thoughtful, intentional work. You know that form informs function and usability that the surface layer doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Your design decisions are often informed by and will influence engineering and business considerations.
- Dedication to the user. You'll design software that changes how people use data in government, commercial, and philanthropic contexts. You strive to understand our users who can range from a manufacturing plant worker to a pharmaceutical researcher and fight to empower them.
- Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools for design productivity and familiarity with AI tools as a new interface form.
