UX Designer, Workspace

About the role:

DataCamp has always been about building the best platform to learn and teach data skills. We create technology for personalized learning experiences and bring the power of data literacy to millions of people around the world. Our learners get real hands-on experience by completing self-paced, interactive data science courses, practice, and projects from the best instructors in the world, right in the browser. However, many of our learners face significant struggles as they start actually doing data work. From setting up your machine, over accessing data and collaborating with peers to sharing insights with others: there needs to be a better way.

Just like learning data science, doing data science work should be easy, enjoyable, and collaborative. Enter DataCamp Workspace: a collaborative cloud-based notebook that allows you to analyze data, collaborate with others and share insights. Workspace lets you create data science reports as easily as writing a Google Doc. Long-term, we envision Workspace to become a centralized insights layer for organizations of any size.

We are looking for a UX Designer to make the experience interacting with DataCamp Workspace world-class, which is instrumental for its success. If you like challenges, want to learn a lot, and aren’t afraid to compete with much larger organizations, continue reading.
