Planet
Welcome to Planet. We believe in using space to help life on Earth.
Planet designs, builds, and operates the largest constellation of imaging satellites in history. This constellation delivers an unprecedented dataset of empirical information via a revolutionary cloud-based platform to authoritative figures in commercial, environmental, and humanitarian sectors. We are both a space company and data company all rolled into one.
Customers and users across the globe use Planet's data to develop new technologies, drive revenue, power research, and solve our world’s toughest obstacles.
As we control every component of hardware design, manufacturing, data processing, and software engineering, our office is a truly inspiring mix of experts from a variety of domains.
We have a people-centric approach toward culture and community and we strive to iterate in a way that puts our team members first and prepares our company for growth. Join Planet and be a part of our mission to change the way people see the world.
Planet is a global company with employees working remotely world wide and joining us from offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and The Netherlands.
About the Role:
We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to design and launch geospatial web applications that transform satellite data into mission-critical intelligence. You will help build our next-generation monitoring platform, designed to provide near real-time observability of any location on Earth.
While our foundation includes environmental and agricultural monitoring, we are rapidly expanding our core capabilities to support Defense & Intelligence (D&I) and Global Monitoring Services. You will play a key role in evolving this platform into a scalable system built for both tactical decision-making and global-scale analytics.
You bring a track record of designing sophisticated, data-heavy geospatial applications, ideally featuring AI-powered tools or complex enterprise data visualization. You will help shape a frontend architecture that remains performant and intuitive for everything from regional security assessments to global resource management.
This is a full-time, hybrid role requiring 3 days per week in our Berlin, Haarlem, Graz or Ljubljana offices.
Impact You’ll Own:
- Product Design Ownership: Lead the end-to-end process from discovery and prototyping to high-fidelity design.
- GIS Interface Design: Create intuitive, powerful geospatial interfaces that translate complex data into actionable insights.
- User Research: Gather feedback and conduct user interviews in close collaboration with product partners.
- UI Architecture: Define and architect the interaction patterns and design system for Planet’s monitoring platform.
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with product and engineering to ensure top-tier design quality.
- Culture: Help build and elevate Planet's design culture.
What You Bring:
- 6+ years of experience designing complex digital products, especially bringing new technical, SaaS, or B2B products to market.
- Bachelor’s degree in design or an equivalent field.
- End-to-end experience: taking projects from early ideation to live software, and iterating based on feedback.
- Proficiency in Figma and enterprise design systems.
- A solid portfolio demonstrating complex professional projects, your process, and the resulting impact.
- Experience conducting lightweight user research and usability testing, synthesizing findings into actionable improvements.
- A solid core skillset: UX/UI, interaction design, rapid prototyping, accessibility, and visual design principles.
- Ability to work quickly in undefined and ambiguous environments
What Makes You Stand Out:
- Advanced experience with GIS, geospatial data, or remote sensing.
- An AI-native mindset, utilizing AI tools for creative ideation, design, or generation.
- A strong track record of taking ownership to communicate and solve complex, systemic problems.
- Deep empathy for both end-users and internal stakeholders, expertly balancing usability with business needs.
- Experience thriving in growth-focused, highly collaborative team environments.
