At Mudflap, we're modernizing the $1 trillion trucking industry, the backbone of the U.S. economy. By helping over 100,000 underserved small businesses save over $1.5 billion on fuel, Mudflap has quickly grown into a profitable fintech platform that processes billions in annual payment volume.

Trucking keeps nearly everything around us moving, but the technology built for the people behind it hasn’t always kept up. Mudflap is changing that.

We’re scaling quickly and expanding how technology shows up in the everyday lives of truckers and small fleet owners. As a Senior Product Designer, Mobile, you’ll help make that technology incredibly simple, intuitive, and useful for people running businesses from the road.

You’ll own end-to-end design for native iOS and Android experiences, turning complex problems into products that feel easy to use. You’ll work closely with Product and Engineering, stay close to our customers, and move quickly from insight to execution.

Design has a high degree of internal agency at Mudflap. We expect our designers to do more than execute against a roadmap, they’re trusted to uncover opportunities, challenge assumptions, bring a strong point of view, and help shape what we build and why. We’re looking for someone who is hungry, curious, and energized by pace, someone who wants to ship, learn, iterate, and keep raising the bar as we scale.

Work Location: This role involves a hybrid work approach, balancing in-office collaboration at our Palo Alto, CA location with the ability to work remotely.

To support our team, we offer:

• Commuter benefits to ease your travel

Expectations (In this role, you will):

• Build with AI, Not Just Use It
  Push beyond AI-assisted efficiency by building functional prototypes, experimenting with tools like Claude Code and Cursor, and reimagining how AI accelerates design and product development.

• Design for Real Impact
  Deeply understand truck drivers and fleet owners, translating complex, real-world challenges into intuitive, beautifully crafted mobile experiences.

• Own the Problem, Not Just the Design
  Lead discovery, challenge assumptions, identify the right problems to solve, and drive solutions from concept through launch.

• Shape Our Mobile Experience
  Influence the strategy and evolution of Mudflap's iOS and Android apps, raising the bar for simplicity, usability, and visual craft.

• Move Fast & Ship
  Own the design process end to end, from research and prototyping through execution, iteration, and launch, balancing exceptional craft with speed.

Experience (What We Look For)

• 7+ years of product design experience, with deep expertise designing and shipping exceptional native iOS and Android experiences.

• Exceptional product thinking and visual craft, with advanced Figma skills, strong interaction design, and an uncompromising eye for detail.

• Strong business instincts, connecting design decisions to customer behavior, product strategy, and measurable business outcomes.

• Builder mentality, thriving in fast-moving environments, navigating ambiguity, challenging assumptions, and delivering high-quality work with urgency.

• AI-Powered Design & Prototyping: Hands-on experience with Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tools, actively leveraging LLMs to build functional prototypes, accelerate iteration, and push the boundaries of traditional design workflows.
