About the Role

We are looking for an exceptional designer to join our New Products business unit. You will be developing interfaces for two brand new products: our Certification and Talent product, building a certification system and a careers portal, and the Collab and Tooling product, with the mission to improve the way data teams collaborate and share insights together. You’ll be responsible for what you design from start to finish: brainstorming solutions, iterating on visuals and interactions, and conducting user tests. 

We expect you to have a pragmatic mindset and be able to work in a fast-moving environment while juggling many responsibilities. In addition, we expect you are always pro-actively looking for qualitative and quantitative data-driven feedback on your designs, and are open to discuss engineering requirements.

Responsibilities

• Make amazing user interfaces that excite our users and help us achieve our business objectives.
• Work with one or more product squads (engineers, data science, product managers) focused on a user-facing area of DataCamp where you will help with the identification of high-impact opportunities, collecting feedback, evaluate impact, …  
• Conduct usability tests using your prototypes.
• Collaborate with the full design team on the general DataCamp design system.  
• Work quickly and effectively on multiple projects. Perfection is the enemy of good, and time is money.
• Use Sketch & Abstract to create our interfaces and easily collaborate with each other as a team.

What we’re looking for

• A portfolio demonstrating relevant design capabilities.
• 3+ years of working experience in a scale-up environment designing digital web/mobile products.
• The ability to combine user-needs with the needs of the business to create engaging user experiences.
• You are a critical thinker that challenges existing user flows and constantly advocates for the user’s experience.
• Pragmatic mindset. You do not see product design as an art, but as a way to achieve business goals.
• You perform best in a radical candor type of feedback environment, and you embrace radical truth.
• You design for emotion. You create interfaces that are pleasurable and have meaning, not just usable.
• You can create clickable prototypes and can come up with complex micro-interactions.
• You know when to add animations and how they will complement the user experience.
• The ability to create your own illustrations is a big plus.
• Past programming experience is a plus.

What’s in it for you?

• Learning and development. We encourage continued education through a conference budget and external training.
• A competitive salary and stock options.
• Flexible working hours.
• International company retreats.
• Work with a great team (everyone says this, but we’re serious—we’re pretty great)
• Open to freelancers who can commit for at least one year full-time.

DataCamp is an equal opportunity employer. We’re making Data Science accessible worldwide and are committed to building a global team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills as well as creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
