About Ember
We're building the future of public transport — convenient, affordable, connected and zero-emission. Our goal is to make it easier and more enjoyable to get from A to B with Ember than it is with your own car.
Ember is a tech company, not a traditional bus operator. We've built a platform that coordinates our entire operation – everything from monitoring vehicles and controlling chargers to selling tickets and calculating ETAs. This allows us to use electric buses more intensively than anyone else in the world, leading to a massive reduction in emissions. It also helps us provide a much better passenger experience, with innovative features like demand-responsive stops.
We’re still tiny, with a handful of routes and 38 buses. The challenge is to scale this 100x whilst staying lean, increasing efficiency and delivering an even better product experience. We’ve raised equity from some of Europe’s leading climate VCs and are looking for mission-driven individuals who want to get on board and help take us to the next level.
The role
As a product designer, you'll be at the heart of our platform development. You'll work closely with our software engineers to design and develop features that delight our users and solve real problems. We are a product-led company, meaning product thinking runs through everything we do – from our website design to bus stop signs and payroll processes. As our first team member working exclusively on product, your role will be broad, contributing to the design and development of both external and internal features.
What you will do
You will work on a wide variety of projects that touch all aspects of our business. Examples might include:
Designing the interface and views for a customer app.
Chatting to our mechanics in order to form an opinion about the best way to develop a feature for tracking wheel re-torques.
Researching textiles and wireless charging pads to design a best-in-class seat.
Thinking deeply about the typical day of charging hub staff, to develop a task management system for them to use.
Discussing possible data models to store guaranteed connections with our engineers and thinking about how connections should be presented to customers.
Your work will be making a difference to our planet by helping more people travel on zero-emission public transport.
Diversity and equality
At Ember, we support diversity across our team and customers. We work to ensure every employee feels respected and able to give their best, whether temporary, part-time or full-time. We’re happy to offer flexible working patterns where they make sense, are compassionate when it comes to time off and offer enhanced maternity and paternity leave.

What’s on offer
As well as a salary of £40,000 - £80,000 per annum, depending on your skills and relevant experience, you'll also be granted share options through an EMI scheme.
