Who we are and what we do

We use outdoor maps daily, but when we walk indoors, useful maps are missing. From offices to stadiums, people need to find things and know where to go. Mappedin builds user-friendly mapping tools that make the indoors visible - empowering businesses to create experiences that people now expect. Whether you\xe2\x80\x99re a building manager or a CAD expert, Mappedin enables anyone to create useful indoor maps.

Headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, Mappedin is the leading platform for indoor mapping solutions, with more than 1.3 billion square feet of space managed within its system.

With 80+ employees and more hiring to come, Mappedin is well-positioned for growth.

Who you are and what you\xe2\x80\x99ll do

You are a designer who is highly autonomous and enjoys owning projects from inception to completion. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and strong visual design in the digital space. You are proficient with Figma and bring in efficient UI, IxD and visual design skills and processes.

As a part of the engineering team and reporting to the Head of Design, you are responsible for the following:

• Designing and creating visually appealing, intuitive and functional user interfaces for our products.
• Collaborate with the development teams to understand user requirements and design effective user interfaces that meet their needs.
• Create prototypes, and high-fidelity visual designs using industry standard design tools using Figma.
• Design intuitive and user-friendly interfaces that are consistent with our brand guidelines and design standards.
• Work closely with developers to ensure designs are implemented accurately and according to design specifications.
• Keep up-to-date with industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies in UI design.

What are we looking for?

• 2+ years of experience as a UI Designer or similar role
• Proven experience as a UI Designer, with a portfolio showcasing your work and demonstrating conceptual, design and process thinking skills
• Proficiency in design tools, specifically Figma
• Strong visual design skills, including color theory, typography, and layout.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

What are some challenges?

Mappedin moves fast and we sometimes change directions. We can\xe2\x80\x99t always wait for all the information before we try something. If you want us to guarantee exactly what you\xe2\x80\x99ll be working on three months from now, we can\xe2\x80\x99t give you that. On the other hand, there is a lot of high value work to do, and it won\xe2\x80\x99t be boring. There is a lot of discovery work involved as we frequently do things that are ahead of current technology.

One of our values is playing for the team so you may need to sometimes put aside personal objectives in order to help meet more urgent company objectives, but others will do the same for you.

Behind the scenes

There\xe2\x80\x99s a lot of trust here at Mappedin. We are a REMOTE company, but this role may require you to come into the office from time to time. If you\xe2\x80\x99re local, there will probably be a few days a week when you can expect other people to be in the office. We work flexible hours, have a flexible vacation policy and work to provide the hardware or office equipment you require to unleash your potential. We will do what it takes to get things done if we said we would do it. We stay curious, challenge opinions, take risks, and learn from mistakes. We\xe2\x80\x99re competitive and we like to win together. We want you to join us.

Mappedin welcomes applications from people with disabilities. We provide reasonable accommodations for candidates upon request through the recruitment process.
