Our ideal candidate is a strategic thinker, a creative problem-solver, and possesses a strong passion for user-centric design. You'll succeed at Timescale if you are entrepreneurial, bold, scrappy, decisive, fired up in front of challenges and uncertainty, and get things done.
Timescale is a fully remote organization. This is a full-time position with a preference in the North and South American time zones.
What you will be responsible for in this role:
Design ownership: Lead the end-to-end design process for new features and enhancements, from ideation to implementation, ensuring a seamless and optimal user experience. Maintain ownership of design decisions and outcomes, aligning them with business objectives and user needs.
UX/UI Design: Design intuitive user interfaces that enable developers to accomplish their tasks efficiently, advocating for a user-centered approach. This includes creating wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that adhere to best practices in usability and accessibility. Ensure design files are clean, organized, and easily accessible, facilitating collaboration and iteration.
User research: Work with Product Managers and cross-functional teams to conduct user research, synthesize insights, and translate findings into actionable design solutions. This may involve interviews, surveys, usability testing, and analyzing usage data.
User Testing: Plan and conduct usability testing sessions to gather feedback on designs and identify areas for improvement. Analyze test results and iteratively refine designs based on user insights.
User-centered design: Prioritize user needs and design principles across the organization, advocating for a user-centered approach to product development.
Cross-team work: Collaborate with product, engineering, and other stakeholders to prioritize user problems, design and deliver solutions to them, measure their impact, and define and execute the next iterations.
Design System Development: Work closely with the product design team to develop, maintain, and elevate design systems. Provide guidance and support to colleagues on best practices for utilizing design systems, fostering a culture of design consistency and efficiency.
Continuous Learning: Stay updated on industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in product design and user experience. Actively seeking opportunities for professional development and growth.
Team building: Partner with Design, Product, Front-end, and Back-end to drive insights around business opportunities and user goals.
You could be a great fit if:
5+ years of experience in SaaS product design, with a strong portfolio showcasing your work and process.
Advanced knowledge in Figma.
Solid understanding of user-centered design principles and methodologies.
Experience leading user research, usability testing, and synthesizing insights.
Experience designing digital products with an emphasis on design systems.
Ability to translate qualitative and quantitative user data into creative solutions.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively articulate and present design concepts to stakeholders.
Strong problem-solving skills, sense of ownership, and attention to detail.
Ability to effectively manage multiple projects simultaneously effectively, balancing competing priorities and deadlines while maintaining a high standard of quality.
Experience with technical developer products is strongly preferred.
You might not be a great fit if:
You aren't comfortable with a fast-paced, dynamic environment where priorities can shift quickly.
You prefer a highly structured role with clearly defined tasks and responsibilities.
You're not a self-starter who thrives on taking initiative and ownership.
