Fish Jobs in Federal Way, WA (NOW HIRING)

ABOUT onX
We're a team of builders, adventurers, and risk takers using technology to help people confidently explore the outdoors. Driven by our mission to awaken the adventurer inside everyone, we build products that optimize every outdoor experience and inspire confidence to get out and go further.
We're a high-growth tech company. The pace is fast, the work takes grit, and ambiguity is part of the job. As the world changes around us, we adapt - continuously evolving how we build, prioritize, and deliver.
Our business moves quickly, and there's real opportunity to shape what we build next. Each of our verticals - Hunt, Offroad, Backcountry, and Fish - is at a different stage of maturity, which means the challenges you encounter and the impact you have will vary depending on where you sit and what the business needs most.
We operate with an experimentation mindset, continually iterating and improving how we solve problems. We expect our people to use the latest tooling, including AI, thoughtfully and responsibly, pairing human judgment with technology to increase quality, speed, and impact.
Our impact comes to life through the products we build, in the stories of our customers, and in our growing commitment to land stewardship and recreational access.
ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY
onX is seeking a Senior Product Designer who will shape the future of onX Fish - a data-rich consumer product that helps anglers choose the right water, find the best spots, and fish with confidence. In this role, you'll be the sole design lead for onX Fish, embedded directly within a high-velocity product team that ships in fast, overlapping cycles. You'll work across iOS, Android, and responsive web to turn complex geospatial and environmental data into interfaces that are intuitive, beautiful, and genuinely useful to anglers.
This is not a role where design happens upstream of execution; it happens inside it. You'll jump into work already in motion, shape product decisions and refine design alongside product, engineering, and data partners, and ship UX at the pace the team moves. You'll take ownership of your work, collaborate closely with partners across the organization, and help move initiatives forward in an environment where priorities evolve, learning is celebrated, and you're encouraged to keep stretching your skills. We move fast, but with intention - priorities are clear, cycles have structure, and the pace reflects meaningful momentum. You'll be the primary design voice for Fish, while staying connected to a broader Design organization, including shared design systems, peer design leads across verticals, and embedded UX research support. This role reports to the Sr. Director of Product Design & Research.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Essential Job Duties & Functions

• Own the end-to-end design for onX Fish across iOS, Android, and responsive web - from concept through shipped UI.
• Design interfaces that make complex geospatial, environmental, and species data useful and accessible to anglers.
• Work within fast, non-linear product cycles - picking up prototypes, PRDs, and engineering spikes already in motion and elevating them with strong design judgment and user testing input.
• Collaborate daily with product and engineering as a co-builder, contributing to UX decisions and user evidence to shape product experience decisions.
• Synthesize user research, strategy documents, and data to identify the highest-impact product design opportunities, bringing a strong point of view.
• Create design iterations that drive both divergent ideation and convergent decision-making; ultimately landing on a strong design POV and recommendation with a clear rationale, calibrated to the customer problem to solve and the scope of the iteration.
• Set a high, consistent bar for craft in onX Fish-including visual polish, interaction quality, usability across platforms (Web, iOS, Android), and thoughtful and continued adoption of the onX design system, so that Fish feels like a premium, cohesive product experience at every touchpoint.
• Design AI-enabled features, including conversational interfaces, recommendation systems, and AI-assisted workflows, which are core to the Fish product roadmap.
• Look for opportunities to embed AI as a repeatable co-pilot in daily workflows by integrating experimentation into real work, and continuously refining its use with sound judgment and validation.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Bachelor's degree in Product Design, HCI, Visual Design, or equivalent experience.
• Eight (8) or more years of relevant experience, including at least five (5) years of product design experience shipping fast-paced, consumer-facing digital products, with emphasis on data-rich, mapping, or geospatial experiences.
• Cross-platform design experience spanning iOS, Android, and responsive web.
• Proven ability to work at high velocity within cross-functional teams, contributing design judgment within fast-moving delivery cycles.
• A strong curiosity for exploring new technologies, including AI, and fluency with AI tools in your design workflow-using them daily to prototype, ideate, and explore conversational interfaces, recommendation systems, and AI-assisted workflows that are core to the Fish roadmap.
• Strong instinct for map-based and geospatial interfaces, with experience designing spatial data visualizations and layered information overlays.
• Communication style that converges toward decisions: you present recommendations, not process walkthroughs, and earn influence through the quality of shipped work.
• High agency and self-direction - you pull context from available resources, form your own point of view, and create clarity in ambiguity.
• A strong curiosity for exploring new technologies, including AI
• A shared passion for and ability to demonstrate onX's Company Values.
• Permanent US work authorization is a condition of employment with onX.
• Ability to travel quarterly for multiple days to a corporate office or other onX strategic location, such as a Basecamp.
• A portfolio is required as part of the application. It should demonstrate strong information design skills, including the ability to turn complex, data-dense experiences into clear, intuitive, and usable interfaces across platforms.

ADDED BONUSES
Though not required, we would be thrilled to consider candidates with any of the following:

• Experience designing for outdoor recreation, fishing, or adventure-focused consumer products.
• Familiarity with species data, environmental datasets, or scientific data visualization.
• Experience designing conversational UI or AI-powered recommendation experiences.
• An active angler or outdoor enthusiast who understands the end user firsthand.
