Design Engineer - TrashLab

Join Trashlab — the operating system for waste haulers.

We unify dispatch, billing, calls and routes into one powerful platform that transforms how waste fleets operate.
By combining real‑time vehicle tracking, route optimization, integrated billing, and customer communications, Trashlab helps haulers cut costs, speed up collections, and deliver exceptional service. If you’re passionate about building scalable software that drives operational efficiency and sustainability in the waste industry, come help us build the future of waste operations.

What you'll do

• Turn messy operations into intuitive interfaces

• Work across dispatch views, billing flows, route management, and driver communications — taking real operational pain points and designing them into software that haulers actually want to use.

• Design and implement, end to end

• You'll own experiences from concept to production. Wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and shipping the code yourself in React and React Native. No long handoff cycles.

• Build and maintain our design system

• Create the components, tokens, and patterns that make Trashlab feel consistent across web and mobile. You'll set the bar for visual and interaction quality.

• Stay close to users

• Talk to haulers directly. Understand how they actually work — what slows them down, what they expect a button to do — and bring that back into the product.
  

What we're looking for

• You design and ship code

• Strong product and UX judgment

• You can look at a workflow and spot what's confusing before anyone tells you. You make decisions grounded in how real people use software, not in aesthetic preference.

• Experience with dense, data-heavy UI

• Dispatch dashboards, billing tables, route maps — this isn't a consumer app with four buttons. You've worked on software where information density matters and know how to handle it.

• Ownership and comfort with ambiguity

• IA multi-agent expert
