Grafana has at least 2.7 million users, so improving the user experience will have a huge impact. A lot of other systems integrate with it and there are many points where this can be a challenging experience, especially for new users. As a UX Designer in the Grafana team, you will be working closely with the engineers and other UX designers on an every-day basis and will be interacting with the Grafana open source community and some of our customers.
The UX team is 6 people and we are growing! Our backlog is full of work waiting for you. You will be able to mix more strategic and high level work with creating mockups. You may be working on a new software onboarding experience, try to solve complex navigation issue such as dashboard search, work on tricky interactions in visualisation editing panel or produce mockups for the new User Profile page. You can count on fast feedback cycles: We run company-wide feedback sessions weekly, and our software is continuously being released – your ideas will be put into users’ hands very quickly.
Responsibilities and DutiesWe'd ask you to provide a portfolio that does not only shows nice pictures, but also mentions your actual process and concrete contribution to the respective projects.
