Mission

At Databricks, our mission as designers is to make data science simpler and more accessible so that more people can contribute to solving 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. 

In this role, you’ll play a key part in shaping the future of Databricks design. We’re looking for an experienced designer to lead the creation of a new data ingestion and transformation experience. We're searching for an experienced Product Designer with the ability to define strategic vision and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to bring this vision to life.

Ingestion and transformation play a critical role in the ETL process. Your work will streamline how Databricks customers load data into the Lakehouse and simplify how they clean and structure this data for later use.

You'll be working closely with the ingestion and data transformation teams based in SF/Seattle, while also collaborating with the Jobs team in Amsterdam.

• Drive product design for one of the most critical business areas at Databricks
• Design and launch a new experience for data ingestion and transformation
• Collaborate closely with product management, engineering, and leadership to shape the future of our platform's ETL experience.
• Design intuitive user experiences that align with engineering best practices, simplifying complex workflows for our users.

• Develop a deep understanding of Databricks business objectives, the ETL space, its users, and competition
• Conduct user research to identify customer needs and pain points related to data ingestion and transformation
• Mentor junior designers, fostering their growth and development within our team.

What we look for

• 10+ years of product design work experience
• A bachelor's or master’s degree in design, computer science, human-computer interaction, or related field
• Demonstrated ability to lead large and complex design projects and balance the needs of diverse stakeholders
• Can execute beautiful visual and interaction work that’s rooted in a data-driven, and well-researched UX process
• 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
• You have a unique combination of technical knowledge and visual design skills which allows you to design powerful and intuitive engineering tooling
• A portfolio demonstrating your end-to-end design process, from inception to production
• Experience designing enterprise software, services, or other complex systems. (products in the Big Data space are a nice-to-have)
