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.
We're looking for a Product Designer to reimagine our documentation experiences across our products — transforming them into intuitive, engaging, and delightful experiences that empower our customers to do more with Databricks.

- Gain a deep understanding of Databricks business objectives, users, market opportunities, and competition. Become well-versed on the Databricks product and its personas (Data scientists, data engineers, data analysts and administrators)
- Deliver designs for Databricks’ product and contribute to the overall direction of the product
- Able to work closely with Engineering, Product Management and other key leadership to drive critical initiatives through from ideation to completion
