User Experience Designer

Truss is tackling tough technical problems for the private sector and government. We use modern development practices to build software, streamline infrastructure, and train others through exposure to our teams. We have earned a reputation with our clients for pragmatism, autonomy, expertise, and trust. We extend these values to our strong relationships with contractors, partners and employees, because we believe this is fundamental to doing great work.

THE CHALLENGE As a user experience designer, you’ll work closely with senior designers and teammates to understand user needs, define the problem space(s), and determine which problems are the right ones to solve. You’ll conduct user research to gain a better understanding of needs and to design and test solutions, participate in product and design discussions with the team, and ultimately collaborate with teammates to create experiences focused on user needs.

THE OPPORTUNITY We are working to bring user-centered design to software development, and ultimately make our projects’ outcomes as effective and enjoyable as possible for stakeholders. Designers have the opportunity to play a major role in shaping this experience throughout every phase of a project. Our goal is to contribute thoughtful, collaborative work that embodies our organizational values while working shoulder to shoulder with our clients—with the group support of the other ~20 designers in Truss’s Design & Research practice.

A position with Truss will give you the opportunity to continuously enrich your skills, working in an energetic, yet balanced environment as part of a team of curious, helpful people. 

THE TEAM As a User Experience Designer at Truss, you will be part of a cross-functional project team consisting of a minimum of one user experience designer, a product manager, and engineers, all working together to improve government services and do meaningful work in the private sector. 

The Design & Research team is about 20 empathetic, user-centered, curious humans. We are known for pragmatism, expertise, openness, and curiosity. Our expertise ranges from content design to research to design systems to interaction design to systems design. We gather together once a week to share what we’ve learned (and challenges we’re encountering) on our respective projects, in addition to just spending time being human together. 

The salary range for this position is $124,500 to $152,500.

** A note from Truss: We know you’re likely experiencing a lot of disruption as our nation (and our world) responds to COVID-19 and other events - we’re experiencing it, too. During video interviews, you’ll likely see more of our human side. Family members, partners, kids and pets are home with some of us! We promise to be present and engaged, but we may be a little...harried. It’s OK if you are, too - we understand that everyone is experiencing extra stress right now. If you have any questions along the way, please let us know, and stay healthy and safe. **
