Miovision is looking for a Intermediate/Senior UX Designer to work alongside a team of talented engineers solving complex problems in the traffic and transportation space.

Why your work will matter:

Miovision’s mission is built around helping cities use data to solve big and impactful problems. Our hardware helps cities to connect to their infrastructure and sensors, and unlock the data trapped inside. Our software conveys the insights that enable cities to make critical decisions that ensure a safe, efficient, and productive city. As a UX/UI designer, you’ll ensure that city engineers and decision makers can understand the data they’re looking at and make it actionable. How does a city planner sort through mountains of data to understand what the most dangerous street crossings are? How does a non-technical city executive look at a dashboard to understand what parts of her city have the largest mobility problems and need more investment? We see great and thoughtful design as one of the essential pieces to solving these sort of challenges, and we’re looking for designers who are passionate about creating a massive impact in how cities operate.
