Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience as either a UX designer, interaction designer, or product designer. As a nice to have, you have worked on developer tools before
- You have a portfolio that demonstrates your design process, thinking and execution, with a successful track record of delivering customer value. You’re deeply proficient in Figma (or equivalent).You care deeply about your users and their experiences
- You’re a critical thinker
- You’re comfortable with ambiguity and can work with minimal process and structure
- You have opinions about when and how to balance “done” vs “perfect”
- You enjoy working in a collaborative environment, building products alongside product & engineering teams
- You have experience building, contributing to or working with design systems
What the job involves
- The Product Design team at OpsLevel is growing and looking for designers who creatively turn ambiguity into outstanding user experiences
- Conduct UX research and discovery, speaking to various software engineering teams and managers about operations, reliability, and security initiatives
- Create wireframes and interactive prototypes to test and validate new product features and experiences
- Work with product & engineering teams throughout the design process to bring your ideas to fruition
- Follow up on data and metrics to continuously validate your designs even after they have shipped
- Help champion Product Design team initiatives such as building and contributing to our design system, UX guidelines & process improvements
Application process
- What do I need to interview with OpsLevel? A working web camera, microphone, and (ideally) a quiet place with minimal background noise
Our take
New compound titles like DevOps, DevSecOps, and the rise of Shifting Left have developers involved in far more operational complexity than ever before. With developer talent relatively thin on the ground, burnout and high turnover is not one that employers can run. Nor can companies afford to have overworked developers compromising on software security. OpsLevel’s developer portal offers a suite of microservices designed to reduce the time developers spend on rote work, as well as simplifying and centralizing crucial operations.
The need for tools and platforms like this that help to rapidly build and scale software is increasingly crucial. So we’re seeing a lot of developer productivity tools crop up - and the market begin to swell to over $50B globally. This gives OpsLevel a lot of room to grow, even with giants like Amazon joining the scene.
OpsLevel’s founders bring a substantial amount of on-the-ground experience to their product, and have crafted a portal used by top-level customers like Duolingo, Hootsuite, and Zapier. In a market that’s looking strong, it's holding its own - and growing fast.
