THE PURPOSE:

Hyperloop One is seeking a UI/UX Designer to contribute to our future high speed transportation system that will change people’s lives by creating designs for operator control systems and customer facing applications. You’ll work closely with other designers, product managers, and developers to create solutions to users’ problems across the web, iOS, and Android.
