Mission
At Databricks, our mission as designers is to make data science simpler and more accessible, enabling more people to contribute to solving the world’s toughest problems. Product Designers at Databricks balance the creativity of a craftsperson with the analytical curiosity of a data scientist. We believe in the traditional and timeless value of great graphic design - while at the same time, we have a restless desire to get to the truth and make the best decisions possible using data. We design simple and collaborative products that have the power to delight a highly technical audience.
In this role, you’ll play a key part in shaping the future of Databricks design. We’re looking for an experienced designer to create the next generation of Databricks experiences across our platform. You are a great fit if you have the ability to define a strategic vision and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to bring this vision to life.
You will contribute to critical product areas, including Developer Experience (Notebooks), Data Governance (Unity Catalog), AI/Machine Learning, and Internal Tools. Your work will streamline how our users interact with, manage, and derive value from the Databricks Lakehouse Platform.
You'll be working closely with the product and engineering teams based in SF/Seattle.
The impact you will have:
- Design best-in-class user experiences across core areas of the Databricks platform.
- Help identify and establish common design patterns for a consistent platform experience.
- Drive product design for critical business areas at Databricks.
- Design and launch new experiences that simplify complex workflows for data practitioners and developers.
- Collaborate closely with product management, engineering, and leadership to shape the future of our platform.
- Design intuitive user experiences that align with engineering best practices, simplifying complex workflows for our users.
- Explore new ways in which Generative AI can enhance the platform experience and developer workflows.
- Develop a deep understanding of Databricks business objectives, the cloud and big data space, its users, and competition.
- Conduct user research to identify customer needs and pain points related to data science and platform usage.
What we look for:
- 5+ years of product design work experience.
- A bachelor's degree or equivalent, with specialization in HCI, Interaction Design, graphic design, computer science, or related disciplines.
- You’re comfortable talking to strategic customers in key decision-making positions.
- Experience shipping great digital products. We strongly believe that a designer’s involvement never stops. You should be comfortable overseeing and impacting the entire process from idea to GA.
- Demonstrated ability to lead large and complex design projects and balance the needs of diverse stakeholders.
- Can execute beautiful visual and interaction work that’s rooted in a data-driven and well-researched UX process.
- A system thinker who has the vision to design the big picture, and the tactical ability to break it down so that engineering can succeed in building it incrementally.
- You have a unique combination of technical knowledge and visual design skills, which allows you to design powerful and intuitive engineering tooling.
- A portfolio showcasing the end-to-end design process.
- Experience designing products in the Cloud, Developer Experience, AI, or Big Data space is a nice-to-have.
- Coding React, SQL, CSS, and/or Python is a nice-to-have.
