We’re a globally-distributed and rapidly growing venture-backed team of learners, innovators and collaborators. Our mission is to empower data teams to bring mission-critical analytics, AI, and software to life.  As a member of our team, you will be at the forefront of the industry as we strive to deliver the world's data. 

Your background may be unconventional; as long as you have the essential qualifications, we encourage you to apply.

Many of us at Astronomer haven't followed traditional career paths, and we welcome it if yours hasn't either.

About this role:

We are looking for an experienced Product Designer to join our team and help shape the future of Astronomer's product portfolio. You’ll play a key role in crafting seamless and intuitive user experiences, designing thoughtful interfaces, and creating a cohesive design language across our platform. You’ll collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to turn complex problems into beautiful, simple, and functional designs.

What you get to do:

• Work closely with product managers and engineers to conceptualize, design, and deliver user-centric features for our cloud platform.

• Conduct user research, gather insights, and apply feedback to improve the product experience.

• Develop wireframes, mockups, and prototypes that effectively communicate design ideas and product flows.

• Create high-fidelity designs and ensure consistency across all design elements and user interactions.

• Collaborate in an agile environment to ensure the timely delivery of design work and its seamless integration with development efforts.

• Define and evolve the design system, ensuring a cohesive visual and interaction experience across the platform.

• Partner with the product and marketing teams to align user experience with product positioning and business goals.

• Advocate for design thinking and contribute to a culture of experimentation, iteration, and learning.

What you bring to the role:

• 3+ years of experience in product design, with a portfolio showcasing your work on SaaS or cloud-based products where the end product user is an engineer or analyst.

• Strong understanding of UI/UX principles and how to design for complex software products, especially in the data or developer tool space.

• Proficiency in design tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or similar.

• Experience with creating and maintaining design systems.

• A proven track record in user research methods and data analysis that has translated into impactful experience changes for users.

• Ability to work cross-functionally with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to drive design solutions in a fast-paced, iterative product cycle.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience with data visualization tools, developer-centric platforms, or workflow orchestration (e.g., Apache Airflow).

• Experience taking a new developer-centric product from zero to one. 

If you’re excited to help shape the future of data orchestration and design impactful experiences for data engineers and teams, we’d love to hear from you!

The estimated salary for this role ranges from $160,000 - $200,000, along with an equity component.
