Overview

BigBear.ai is seeking a hands-on Principal UI/UX Designer to lead product design for our next-generation SaaS applications, with a primary focus on digital twin, simulation, and operational dashboard solutions. This fully remote position offers the opportunity to design high-impact software in collaboration with some of AI's brightest minds.

Join us to help solve real-world problems that matter. At BigBear.ai, your work will directly shape products used across critical industries-from national security to logistics and healthcare. Our collaborative, innovative environment supports your growth, offering competitive pay, generous benefits, and a shared sense of mission.

What you will do

  • Lead and deliver hands-on UI/UX design across SaaS products, especially digital twin, simulation, and operational dashboards.
  • Take designs end-to-end: from research and ideation through prototyping, testing, and final visual design.
  • Contribute, maintain, scale, and mature the enterprise design system to ensure consistency and impact across BigBear.ai.
  • Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and other stakeholders to align user experience with business strategy.
  • Mentor designers, raise organizational standards, and help embed user-centered design throughout the company.
  • Actively contribute to a range of cross-functional projects, supporting initiatives outside the core SaaS product line as needed.
  • Promote AI-enhanced, data-driven approaches and encourage adoption of new tools and workflows.

What you need to have

  • 14+ years of relevant experience. A related BA/BS degree is a plus but not required.
  • Demonstrated experience in design leadership.
  • Excellent Portfolio of product design projects for review.
  • Experience working on an enterprise IaaS/SaaS/software product.
  • Experience working in an agile environment.
  • Knowledge of wireframe tools (e.g., Figma, Axure, Sketch)
  • Experience designing products in the Simulation, analytics, machine learning, or data visualization space.
  • Understanding front-end technologies (HTML/CSS/JS/React/Angular) to help inform design and interaction decisions.
  • Strong visual design experience
  • Demonstrated experience as a senior/principal-level, hands-on UI/UX designer.

What we'd like you to have

  • Master's degree.
  • Expertise in designing digital twin applications, simulations, or operational SaaS dashboards.
  • Strong preference for candidates who have utilized AI tools, such as OpenAI or comparable generative design technologies, to accelerate or enhance their design process.
