About the Role

We're looking for a strategic player coach - a Lead Product Designer who's ready to tackle complex UX challenges and elevate our product to new heights. If you're excited to dive deep into intricate design problems, raise the bar for design quality, and design and build a complex interface to data. You'll shape the workflows that empower technical users to seamlessly explore and understand their data. You'll dig into user needs, collaborate closely with product and engineering on product strategy, and help foster a culture where design is seen as crucial to our success. You will largely own both the design and much of the implementation of a cloud hosted offering.  Experience in data interfaces, especially business intelligence, SQL and data exploration interfaces is a giant plus. We value curiosity, humility, ambition, and designers who understand the technical underpinnings of data, and can even implement their own designs.   If this sounds like you, send us a hello with a link to your portfolio. We'd love to see how you think, how you work, and the impact you've made!

This is a full-time, hybrid position based out of our Oakland, CA office. Our hybrid work model offers a blend of remote flexibility and in-person collaboration, including two days in the office each week to connect and build as a team.
