Senior Product Designer - Event Management

Events are a crucial component of our product that records notable changes relevant for managing and troubleshooting IT operations for customers, such as code deployments, service health, configuration changes, or monitoring alerts. 

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer, excited to work on emerging technologies in the Service Management space, that empower technical teams to quickly identify, triage, and resolve issues in their applications and infrastructure. 

You’ll be working as part of the Service Management Design Team, which is responsible for a suite of tools that help troubleshoot issues, correlate related alerts together to get a holistic view of the problem, and scale their IT operations. For this role, you will own the end-to-end design of the Event Management product, designing for DevOps and IT teams to automatically correlate related alerts together, eliminate alerting noise, dive into the root cause of problems, and quickly identify termination steps. 

You'll collaborate closely with the Product Manager and Engineering team on Event Management, helping the team drive the product forward and shape a user-centric experience. Additionally as part of the Service Management Design team you’ll work closely with two other Senior Designers who work on their respective products that are part of the larger Service Management user journey.

• Possess a research and strategic mindset to ensure the product resonates with users in this unique and ambiguous space.
• Act as an end-to-end product designer who can sketch, prototype and see your product through to production. 
• Communicate your design work and the support for your design decisions internally to your product team and the whole company. 
• Work closely with engineering teams to understand how your designs will be built and Q/A them before we ship. 
• Be the expert in your product area, mentoring other designers on the team to do their best work.

Who You Are:

• You have 5+ years of experience in digital product design
• Your portfolio includes a proven track record of shipping interaction design work in web applications.

• You understand systems thinking and component-based design patterns
• You give and receive feedback well, supporting and improving the work of your colleagues as well as your own
