Metabase is an open-source business intelligence tool that you can connect to many popular databases. Metabase lets you ask questions about your data and displays answers in formats that make sense, whether that’s a bar chart or a detailed table. We bring data tools with the elegance and simplicity of consumer products to the crufty world of enterprise business intelligence. We provide an opinionated open-source starting point for how companies should measure, analyze and share their data, which is used by tens of thousands of companies.
Job Overview
We’re expanding our product in many directions and continuously reevaluating decisions we made in the past in order to improve every flow and detail. We want to do that faster and in more depth, so we’re looking for outcome-oriented, seasoned Product Designers to join our core team. At Metabase, design directly drives business success: our customers consistently choose us because of our superior UX — meaning your work will be directly responsible for our growth.
Responsibilities
- Deliver end-to-end design solutions that are truly elegant, beautiful, fun, and simple.
- Keep complexity from creeping into the product, while giving users ever more power.
- Be a thought partner with your team’s product manager to refine the problem definition, goals, and rough scope of projects.
- Iterate rapidly and broadly in scrappy ways that make abstract ideas tangible and which move conversations forward.
- Deeply internalize the needs and mindset of our users through insights provided by the broader team. UX research skills aren’t needed, but welcome.
Requirements
Profile
-
- You think in terms of journeys, not screens.
- Biased toward building things, not slide decks.
- Work out in the open instinctively, out of an eagerness to receive feedback, and to riff and iterate with an experienced, skilled team.
- Thorough and attentive to detail, with a high internal bar for your craft.
- Exceptional ability to communicate design decisions and rationales through speaking and writing.
- Comfortable with asynchronous collaboration, and articulating complex ideas remotely.
Skills and experience
-
- Strong intuitions and craft developed over 5+ years of product design experience. Your work will rely on research and analytics, but it will shine because of solid instincts and craftsmanship.
- Experience designing rich, deep web applications/tools
- Technical enough to understand at a high level what’s happening inside the engineering black-boxes. (If you don’t understand the complexity, how can you simplify it?)
Bonus Qualifications
-
- Experience with LLM-based UI prototyping
- Experience with Web development (HTML, CSS, React)
- Technical background or education (CS degree or similar)
- Experience building or using developer tools
