From our founding until now, our mission has remained the same: to make access to data as simple and reliable as electricity. With Fivetran, your data just arrives in your warehouse, canonical and ready to query, no engineering or maintenance required. As we watch more and more companies leverage our technology to become truly data-driven, we’re proud not only of our growth but also of the fact that we’ve grown without compromising our core value of being a default, easy-to-use solution.

The Role:

We are looking for our first Design Technologist for our Fivetran Design team. You will help shape the future front-end experience of the Fivetran data pipeline platform for businesses large and small. Our ideal candidate has a balance of detail-oriented coding ability, an eye for impeccable UI design, strong customer focus, and strong ability to collaborate across disciplines. We value those that hit the ground running, leading by example on projects and working well with a varied group of personalities and talents. You will be diving deep into our customer-facing experiences and applying your understanding of best practices to build and maintain our growing Design System, our online marketing presence, and elements of our product UI. 

As you talk with our team, your portfolio should contain case studies that demonstrate strong coding skills, use of detailed and effective designs, and clear results showing how your work has provided the building blocks for teams to succeed.

Fivetran has a positive, diverse, and supportive culture. We appreciate team members who are curious, humble, think deeply, speak clearly, and thrive on collaboration and feedback. If this sounds like a good fit for you, send us a hello with links to your work and experience. On day one, this role will report directly to the Director of Product Design and Research.

What you’ll do:

• Build out a compelling vision for our Fivetran Design System, collaborating with Designers, Product Managers, and Engineers who are also passionate about user experience.

Skills We’re Looking For:

• Heavy focus on details with an eye for pixel perfection. 
• Comprehensive knowledge of React, CSS, HTML
• Ensure successful integration of components and processes with a decentralized (remote) Design team and various international Engineering teams.

• Ability to craft engaging experiences that materialize the vision of Design partners. 
• Ability to work in code with Engineering team partners across different teams. 
• You are driven by a deep understanding of how products get used, concept validation, contextual inquiry, and usability testing.
• Excitement for the chance to shape the design culture at a growing company and to inspire people with your unique perspective.

Nice to have:

• Design skills for UX processes (not solely UI patterns or Interaction Design)
• Experience working in big data, AI, or data analytics.
• Experience independently partnering with design operations and front-end eng organizations.
• A desire to have fun while building a great product!
