KNIME is hiringSenior UX Designer

We are looking for the right people to join our well-funded, growing open-source company and to help us continue building exciting technology that makes our users happy. Right now, we are looking for new additions to our UX team working out of Berlin or Konstanz*. If you think you would be a great fit, why don’t you apply?

Who you are

In addition to enjoying working in an interactive, sometimes a tad chaotic, but fun team (or so we think), what we expect from you is that:

• Your approach to designing is to build something to solve the problem from the user perspective – where did the user come from and where are we trying to point them next.
• You can derive user needs from the context of use or technical descriptions in a systematic approach, to specify user requirements.
• You have several years (ideally 5+) of experience building complex websites or software products.
• You have an eye for design details, balancing high-quality work with timeliness.
• You have a good understanding of design processes, usability principles, and UX best practices.
• You have a genuine interest (and preferably experience) in the software, tech, and start-up space in which we operate.
• You are proficient in the use of common UX and design tools (e.g., Sketch, Figma, or equivalent tools) for building user flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes.

That’s the job

Put simply: You’ll take an important role in shaping the UX. This involves the continued evolution of KNIME Community Hub (check it out here), and KNIME Business Hub (our commercial environment) and bringing KNIME Analytics Platform into the cloud/browser.

Day-to-day, you can expect to:

• Transform complex technical ideas into clear user flows and user interfaces with a straightforward outcome.
• Contribute actively to the projects as described above and ensure the “consistency” of all our UX concepts and UI elements (like buttons, descriptions, error messages …).
• Apply user research methods to discover opportunities to improve the product UX.
• Collaborate closely with product management, the design team, and our developers to build rich, end-to-end user experiences.
