About the role
About Us
At Axle Energy, we’re building the infrastructure that will underpin the decarbonised energy system. Our software moves energy usage to times when electricity is cheap and green, by controlling vehicle charging, heating systems, and home batteries. We control hundreds of thousands of energy assets.
We’re building in a legacy industry and moving gigawatt-hours of electrons in the real world, but we operate at lightning speed, and we’re growing the team to meet customer demand.
We’re proud to be supported by world-leading investors, including Accel.

About the role
We’re looking for our first product designer to level-up design throughout the company.
Axle is building cutting-edge energy products across the sector - from simple offerings for mass-market consumers, through to advanced tooling for early adopters and enthusiasts. We’re innovating to solve new and complex problems where there’s no established answers and where the customer experience is key.
We have a highly autonomous, flat structure, delivering our products in small interdisciplinary teams of engineers and PMs. We want to add a design voice as a pillar to this: understanding our users, leading our strategic direction, and ensuring the customer is always represented.
You’ll operate across the business to raise the quality of all our design output - through both direct delivery, as well as enablement and coaching of others.
Alongside this, we’re looking for ownership and support on how Axle represents itself externally - to our prospects, clients, investors and potential employees.
What you will be doing:
Understanding user problems and designing great experiences to solve them
Building the systems that allow for strategic and scalable solutions - in Claude and code - to allow everybody to ship beautiful software, faster
Deepening our culture of user research and getting into the weeds of how people experience Axle's products, both B2C and B2B2C
Leading on our visual identity and finding new ways to tell Axle's story, through web, animation, and video
Working with global clients to help them to improve their user experiences
This could be a good fit if:
You're energised by ambiguity and take a pragmatic, outcome-first approach
You’re excited about bringing sophisticated technology to a broader audience and are happy to get into the technical details to do this
You’re deeply curious about the world and how people experience it
You have a strong aesthetic sense and know what good looks like.
What's in it for you:
A meaningful slice of equity in Axle, alongside a competitive salary, with total compensation ranging from £75k–£200k (base salary + equity).
We operate with a deliberately flat structure and aim to keep pay equitable across the company, with a 1:1 median ratio between founder and team compensation.
Enhanced parental leave to support you through life's meaningful moments.
Bi-annual retreats to strengthen team connection & shared purpose.
Hybrid working - We have a dog-friendly office around Farringdon. To maximize collaboration, we ask that you spend 2-3 days a week in the office.
The opportunity to directly shape the future of energy markets and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon world.
We are extremely keen to build a diverse company, and we’re particularly eager to hear from candidates who don't fit the traditional role stereotypes. If you’re motivated by our mission, please do reach out, even if you feel you might not ‘check all the boxes’.
