About Prepared

Emergency centers, vital to our society, are often constrained by technology that dates back to the landline era. This presents a stark contrast to our current smartphone-centric, socially connected world. At Prepared , we bridge this gap with cutting-edge technology that harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence to revolutionize how emergency calls are handled.  Our innovative technology is providing a suite of tools that significantly boost the capabilities of 911 dispatch centers and first responders. With our solutions implemented in over 800 cities across 48 states, we're positively impacting the lives of approximately 75 million people.

Backed by $27 million in Series B funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, we're scaling rapidly to become a core component of emergency calls nationwide, driving the future of emergency response toward a safer, more agile system.

Joining the Prepared team means more than just a new role. It's a chance to be at the forefront of impactful tech that significantly improves public safety and touches lives across the globe. At Prepared, you're not just part of a team; you're a key player in a larger mission to foster a safer, more interconnected world.

• Spearhead usability discovery, taking accountability for all UX and UI workflows and using creative research techniques to de-risk usability ambiguities and inform product strategy.

• Identify opportunities for improvement by analyzing user feedback, prioritizing new features and enhancements, and creating flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals that advocate for a design-centric approach.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to drive high-quality implementation and contribute to overall product direction.

What makes you a great fit: 

• You have 4+ years of experience in product design or related fields.
