Uplevel is hiring Product Experience & UI/UX Designer

Uplevel is an engineering optimization system that helps large organizations turn engineering metrics into meaningful change. We're not just software. We're not just change enablement. We're both. Our platform unifies data across engineering tools, surfaces meaningful patterns, and enables leaders to drive real improvements in how their teams deliver value.

The Opportunity

We're seeking a creative, self-driven Product Experience and UI/UX Designer to join our team on a contract basis during a critical period of product experimentation and innovation. You'll work directly with our product and engineering teams to conceptualize, design, and iterate on new ways to visualize complex engineering data that helps leaders identify bottlenecks and systemic issues affecting their organizations.

This is not your typical design role. We're in rapid experimentation mode, testing hypotheses around how to best visualize complicated problems that influence value delivery in large engineering organizations. We need someone who can take minimal direction and run with it, who can conjure compelling visualizations from limited data, and who thrives in ambiguity rather than rigid process.

What You'll Do

• Conceptualize and design innovative visualizations for complex data sets that help engineering leaders drive change in their organizations

• Design experiences that not only display data but also guide users toward meaningful insights and actions

• Create prototypes and mockups that bring our product vision to life, particularly around visualizing the sociotechnical aspects of engineering organizations

• Rapidly iterate on designs based on customer and market feedback

• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to test hypotheses and validate visualization approaches

• Contribute to our vision of transforming engineering organizations into iterative learning systems

• Develop a cohesive visual language that aligns with our brand messaging and differentiates us from competitors

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of UI/UX design experience for complex SaaS products, with a strong portfolio demonstrating data visualization work

• Experience designing for enterprise/B2B software, particularly products serving technical audiences

• Partner deeply with the engineering team to provide just enough, but not too much, direction for them to build solutions that meet with the goals of the design.

• Strong background in creating innovative dashboards, charts, and interactive visualizations that transform complex data into actionable insights

• Ability to rapidly prototype and iterate on designs with minimal direction

• Conceptual thinker who can visualize abstract concepts like system effects, flow efficiency, and value delivery

• Comfort with ambiguity and experimentation; this is not a role for someone who needs detailed specifications or established processes

• Self-starter mentality with the ability to collaborate, take feedback, and incorporate insights from stakeholders 

• Ability to balance aesthetic excellence with pragmatic functionality

Contract Details

• Duration: Initial 3-month contract with possibility of extension

• Location: Remote but needs to be US friendly hours

• Time commitment: 15-20 hours/week

• Start date: ASAP
