Lead UI/UX Designer
Design the future of greenhouse technology. Join Ridder and create the next-generation climate control platform used by professional growers worldwide.
We are building a new climate computer from the ground up, the control system growers rely on to manage temperature, humidity, irrigation, CO₂, lighting, energy and screens across their greenhouses. It is the single most important interface between a grower and their crop: a data-dense, high-stakes product that runs around the clock.
We are looking for a Lead UI/UX Designer to shape the full design process, from user research through interaction and visual design to a scalable design system, developer handoff, and post-launch iteration. You'll be the design lead on a new cross-functional team, helping set the standard for how our next-generation software looks and performs in the field. The product needs to be future-ready — modern today and able to evolve for years, including AI-assisted and predictive controls. It's a rare chance to help define a category-leading product used daily by professional growers worldwide.
You'll partner closely with product managers, hardware and software engineers, agronomists, and customers. You'll move fluidly between talking to growers, sketching flows, building prototypes, testing designs with real users, and pairing with developers during implementation. You'll present your thinking, make the case for your design decisions with evidence, and iterate quickly based on feedback and field data — while keeping an eye on emerging tools and patterns that can push the product forward.
These are the core things we hope you bring. If you're close on most of them and excited about the rest, we'd still love to hear from you.
