I'm not saying the show was made by Nazis but it sure looks like a graphic artist is

That's a big leap without context for why it's there
Just watched the trailer. The number is definitely there. Though it appears after a clip of the main character describing his childhood as ‘unusual’ then showing his father, (one of the main Neo Nazi characters from the series Oz, Lee Tergesen) being paranoid abusive and reclusive.
So I’m supposing that the main character is raised by a White Nationalist Prepper and that’s the reason 1488 appears over his name. Spending the series trying to help people and deal with the indoctrination.
Just a wild hopeful guess though.
That's definitely plausible, though I don't think it's the most likely scenario. Intentionally choosing that extremely hateful Nazi code without any other context or understanding would only serve to grab the attention of Nazis or people who know that it's a code used by Nazis. Using this thread as anecdotal evidence, it's not mainstream and many people don't know it exists/think that is a big deal. I don't see CBS advertising their new show which otherwise makes zero reference to white supremacy or Nazis by using a Nazi code.
I find the most likely reasoning to be that it way placed there intentionally but with plausible deniability to the graphic artist. "I just used a picture of an elevation map because he goes and finds people in the wilderness!"
