About Prophetic
Real estate development is a multi-billion-dollar industry that has run on fragmented data, manual processes, and gut instinct for decades. Prophetic is changing that. We're building the AI-native platform that enables homebuilders, developers, and investors to find, analyze, and act on land opportunities from a single system — powered by proprietary technologies that process billions of data points across all 50 states. We are the market leader in our space, and our customers don't just use the product — they love it. We're not making teams more efficient. We're changing how they operate.
Prophetic is scaling fast — demand is outpacing our ability to hire, and we're just getting started. This is a once-in-a-lifetime team: sharp, low ego, deeply collaborative, and obsessed with building the best product in the industry. Come disrupt an industry with us.
About The Role
We are looking for a UX Designer to drive meaningful improvements to our product’s usability and user experience. In this role, you will tackle real, identified friction points in the application—redesigning flows, rethinking interactions, and systematically reducing the cumbersome aspects of the tool that slow users down.
Ease of use is one of our most important competitive differentiators against entrenched players whose tools are notoriously difficult to navigate. Your work will directly strengthen that advantage. You’ll operate close to the product and engineering teams, often pairing with engineers to move quickly from design to implementation—making your impact tangible and fast.
What You'll Do
These four themes are how we think, build, and lead:
Prophetic Software is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and applicants, and we make employment decisions without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran or military status, marital status, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state, or local law. We actively seek to build a diverse team and encourage candidates from underrepresented backgrounds to apply. Reasonable accommodations are available upon request for qualified individuals with disabilities throughout the application and employment process.

What You'll Do
- Audit and evaluate existing UX problems across the application, identifying the highest-impact areas of friction for users.
- Redesign and re-implement UX elements and user flows to reduce complexity and improve overall usability.
- Translate team-identified UX issues into concrete design solutions, from low-fidelity concepts through final specs.
- Partner closely with engineers to ensure designs are implemented accurately and efficiently, including hands-on pairing during build-out.
- Collaborate with the product team to prioritize UX improvements alongside broader product goals.
- Establish and iterate on design patterns that promote consistency and ease of use throughout the product.
- Solicit and incorporate feedback from stakeholders and users to continuously refine the experience.
- 7 years of experience in UX or product design, with a portfolio demonstrating measurable improvements to complex product interfaces.
- Deep expertise in interaction design and flow optimization, with a proven ability to simplify complicated workflows.
- Strong proficiency in modern design tools (e.g., Figma) and the ability to produce high-quality, developer-ready specs.
- Experience working directly alongside engineers in an agile environment, including hands-on involvement in implementation.
- Ability to identify, prioritize, and systematically address UX problems using both qualitative feedback and product intuition.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate design decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Comfort operating in a fast-paced, early-stage environment where speed of execution and adaptability are essential.
- The team. Wide expertise, sharp, low ego, and genuinely fun to work with. We have each other's backs and we celebrate wins together.
- Real ownership and impact from day one. Our customers make million-dollar decisions on our platform. Your work matters immediately.
- AI-native product and AI-native workflows. Every team — engineering, sales, operations — runs on AI tooling daily.
- Founder-led transparency. Leadership shares the financials, the strategy, and the hard calls with the whole team.
- High growth, high demand. The product works, customers love it, and we are hiring to keep up. No shortage of opportunity here.
- Flexibility. Remote, hybrid, or in-office with a great Portland, OR headquarters.
- Self-starters who thrive in ambiguity. We're a startup. If you need someone to tell you what to do every morning, this isn't the place; if you come alive solving hard problems with smart people, it is.

These four themes are how we think, build, and lead:
- Truth — Say the hard thing. We speak plainly, flag problems early, and share what's actually going on.
- Precision — Sign your name to it. Our customers make million-dollar decisions on our data. We get the details right.
- Velocity — Speed compounds. Waiting doesn't. We ship daily and launch features every two to three weeks.
- Ownership — Own it, then solve it. We own outcomes, not tasks. If something's broken, we fix it.
