Mission

At Databricks, our mission as designers is to make working with data simpler and more accessible so that more people can help solve the world’s toughest problems. Product Designers at Databricks balance the creativity of a craftsperson with the analytical curiosity of a data scientist. We believe in the traditional and timeless value of great graphic design - while at the same time, we have a restless desire to get to the truth and make the best decisions possible using data. We design simple and collaborative products that have the power to delight a discriminating and highly technical audience.

The impact you will have:

• Contribute to the product design for authoring experiences across the Databricks platform

• Build an understanding of the Databricks developer audience and the jobs they wish to accomplish using our code authoring tools

• Skillfully balance design investments in higher level workflows, while at the same time owning the craft and execution of the smallest keyboard affordances and micro interactions

• Design a developer experience that spans the authoring lifecycle from exploratory to production code

• Explore bold new ways for generative AI and conversational assistants to enhance the developer experience at Databricks

• Gain an understanding of Databricks business objectives, users, market opportunities, and competition. Become well-versed on the Databricks product and its personas (Data scientists, data engineers, data analysts and administrators)

• Deliver designs for Databricks’ product and contribute to the overall direction of the product

• Able to work with Engineering, Product Management and other key leadership to lead important project from brainstorming to completion

• Seek and provide design feedback and collaboratively improve the design process

What we look for:

• 7 years of product design work experience

• You have a unique combination of technical knowledge and visual design skills which allows you to design powerful and intuitive developer tooling

• You have the skills to create not only the details of a graph, but also the UX craft to build an easy user experience for customers when they are creating a graph or visualization

• A system thinker who has the vision to design the big picture, and the tactical ability to break it down so that engineering can succeed in building it incrementally

• Proven ability to ship great developer experiences

• A bachelor's or master’s degree or equivalent, ideally with specialization in HCI, Interaction Design, graphic design, computer science, or related disciplines

• A portfolio showcasing the end-to-end design process, from creation to production
