Desirable

• SandboxAQ is looking for a product designer to help build the interfaces for the next generation of computational tools for AI and simulation in chemistry and the life sciences
• In this role, you will design workflows that allow researchers to intuitively derive complex insights from large datasets and easily configure large-scale cloud simulations
• You will bring customer requirements to life through wireframes, mockups and prototypes, which will be refined through workshops, user interviews and other stakeholder interactions
• Collaborating closely with our Head of Design and product team, you will work with users (internal and external) to design new solutions
• Working closely with our engineering team, you will ensure that your designs are effectively implemented
• Your core responsibilities will include defining the user experience, conducting research to validate user interactions, and crafting engaging interfaces
• On a daily basis, drive the design of the front-end of SandboxAQ’s chemistry and life sciences simulation platform by creating wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups that effectively communicate design concepts and user interactions for internal and external audiences
• Contribute to, influence, and drive the vision of our platform with the Design and Product team to help guide and inspire the organization
• Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and developers to gather and understand design requirements, identify risks and opportunities and solve them collectively to ensure seamless design implementation
• Thrive in ambiguity with a bias for action, breaking down long, complex projects into executable units of work
• Conduct workshops, qualitative interviews, usability testing, and other user research methods to inform and validate design decisions
• Present designs to stakeholders, including users, engineers, and product managers, and iterate based on feedback
• Drive the visual design of the user interface, by developing/evolving a style guide and/or design system, ensuring consistency across UI components and user interactions, and providing detailed specifications to front-end developers
• Distill complex and dense information into clarifying data visualizations and views for the various lenses of user archetypes
• Analyze product analytics to improve user interactions with the application
• Deliver regular customer facing product demos for presales activities demonstrating the product’s differentiated capabilities
• Interface with go to market partners to build user interfaces relevant and supportive to Sandbox’s strategic partnership efforts
• Maintain dotted-line, cross-departmental connection to and collaboration with the broader design functions in other SandboxAQ Business Units
