At Timescale, we empower businesses with real-time insights from their data, allowing them to make faster decisions and optimize operations. We are creating a movement to unblock developers who are building the future. Timescale is a product-led growth organization driven by transparent leaders and a globally diverse, remote-first team that is proudly building a modern PostgreSQL cloud platform.

We are looking for a dynamic and results-driven Senior Product Designer to help plan, design, implement, analyze, and improve our cloud database service. As a Senior Product Designer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our product's user experience and interface. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including product managers, engineers, and other designers, to conceptualize, design, and deliver intuitive and visually stunning solutions that address our customers' needs.

Our ideal candidate is a strategic thinker, a creative problem-solver, and possesses a strong passion for user-centric design. You'll succeed at Timescale if you are entrepreneurial, bold, scrappy, decisive, fired up in front of challenges and uncertainty, and get things done.

Timescale is a fully remote organization. This is a full-time position with a preference in European time zones.

What you will be responsible for in this role:

• Design ownership: Lead the end-to-end design process for new features and enhancements, from ideation to implementation, ensuring a seamless and optimal user experience. Maintain ownership of design decisions and outcomes, aligning them with business objectives and user needs.

• UX/UI Design: Design intuitive user interfaces that enable developers to accomplish their tasks efficiently, advocating for a user-centered approach. This includes creating wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that adhere to best practices in usability and accessibility. Ensure design files are clean, organized, and easily accessible, facilitating collaboration and iteration.

• User research: Work with Product Managers and cross-functional teams to conduct user research, synthesize insights, and translate findings into actionable design solutions. This may involve interviews, surveys, usability testing, and analyzing usage data.

• User Testing: Plan and conduct usability testing sessions to gather feedback on designs and identify areas for improvement. Analyze test results and iteratively refine designs based on user insights.

• User-centered design: Prioritize user needs and design principles across the organization, advocating for a user-centered approach to product development. 

• Cross-team work: Collaborate with product, engineering, and other stakeholders to prioritize user problems, design and deliver solutions to them, measure their impact, and define and execute the next iterations. 

• Design System Development: Work closely with the product design team to develop, maintain, and elevate design systems. Provide guidance and support to colleagues on best practices for utilizing design systems, fostering a culture of design consistency and efficiency.

• Continuous Learning: Stay updated on industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in product design and user experience. Actively seeking opportunities for professional development and growth.

• Team building: Partner with Design, Product, Front-end, and Back-end to drive insights around business opportunities and user goals. 

You could be a great fit if:

• 5+ years of experience in SaaS product design, with a strong portfolio showcasing your work and process.

• Advanced knowledge in Figma.

• Solid understanding of user-centered design principles and methodologies.

• Experience leading user research, usability testing, and synthesizing insights.

• Experience designing digital products with an emphasis on design systems.

• Ability to translate qualitative and quantitative user data into creative solutions.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively articulate and present design concepts to stakeholders.

• Strong problem-solving skills, sense of ownership, and attention to detail.

• Ability to effectively manage multiple projects simultaneously effectively, balancing competing priorities and deadlines while maintaining a high standard of quality.

• Experience with technical developer products is strongly preferred.

You might not be a great fit if:

• You aren't comfortable with a fast-paced, dynamic environment where priorities can shift quickly. 

• You prefer a highly structured role with clearly defined tasks and responsibilities.

• You're not a self-starter who thrives on taking initiative and ownership.

Our Commitment:

• We will respond to all applicants

• We strive to review all applications fairly, without bias, and shortlist based on relevant skills and experience.

• All active candidates will be informed of what is happening next in the process.
