Principal User Experience Designer

Job Description

The Oracle Analytics team has announced a new product to provide a unified data environment for data engineers and data scientists. Our customers have diverse and scattered data, but they need to make use of it together. They need tools that combine it, define repeatable pipelines, operate on it to make it useful for a purpose, monitor, fix, and administer it. Each customer then uses these data to serve multiple applications that help their business make better decisions and achieve better outcomes. Customers will use your product to power all kinds of scenarios, from keeping the lights on to improving patient health.

As a successful candidate, you’re a specialist in enterprise design and have a track record of quickly learning complex domains with a driving curiosity. You may already understand the work of data engineers, data admins, and data scientists—perhaps you’ve even done a bit of that work yourself and understand the technical mind. You create efficient, even elegant solutions to challenging, nuanced tasks.

On the Oracle Analytics UX team, you will collaborate with software development, product management, and Oracle customers to set the long-view vision and the next steps shipping quickly. You will learn Oracle’s award-winning Redwood design system and work toward the goal of a unified Oracle UX, while also advocating for design system evolutions your product truly requires. You will help to identify and build on differentiators unique to Oracle as well as the right opportunities for applying AI. You’re comfortable presenting to and collaborating with leadership, using design thinking and craft to build alignment and move forward.

Your UX team has other related products in the market already. As a principal designer, you’ll contribute to and even lead routine collaborations with smart, talented, kind designers on shared UX patterns, team critique, and improving our own design operations.

The work you’ll do is…

Human-led

People/customers are at the center of our approach. Partner with customers and experts to deeply understand their objectives and users’ needs. Envision what might make their workflows and experiences spectacularly better. Conduct exploratory and evaluative sessions to identify critical needs and goals, then refine workflow, UI, and even product strategy.

Superb craftmanship

You will be designing solutions from concept, wireframes, and prototypes to detailed, visually polished and scalable experiences, ready for implementation. Incorporate feedback quickly and adapt to changes in business requirements and timelines without compromising quality. Leverage the existing design style guide and system, templates, and components in order to deliver quality on time. Define the new patterns needed for the future. Own & drive the experience of our products – and experience the incredible impact that your work will have on our customers.

Bold, aspirational, exciting

We create solutions that span not just the depth and breadth of the challenges our customers face, but come from our diverse employee base, which is core to our DNA. A modern user experience is not modern if it’s one-size-fits-all.

You will work closely with kind, curious and smart designers, researchers, writers, product managers, and engineers across the globe. We believe innovation starts with inclusion – everyone’s voice is heard and valued.

Career Level – IC4

Responsibilities

You have 6+ years of experience. You have worked as an enterprise product designer on complex tasks for at least 6 years and have a portfolio showcasing elegant solutions and business impact.

You’re a data nerd. You preferably have experience designing, delivering tools for data prep, data engineering, data administration, and data science. You may have even used these tools or are familiar with SQL or Python, for example. You’ve got the creative mind of a design craftsperson and the analytical mind to empathize with these users and solve complex problems.

You’re a full stack user experience designer. You look at strategy and the product ecosystem, multiple interacting user roles, workflow and information architecture, interaction and visual design, and more. You may be better at some than others, you know how to talk about each and combine them all into an experience that delights . You can show big design and strategy contributions to new products in your past work.

Your collaborations make teams design-led. You make the people around you better. You have a point of view based on user-centered logic and evidence. You communicate clearly and persuasively to set the direction of whole interdisciplinary teams and build alignment among leaders. You are a model to early-career designers and share your skills and tools.

You get stuff done.

You love rules and you know when to break them. You think systemically even beyond your product because creating a coherent experience requires it. But you know when the system needs to expand and when to do something unique to create an arresting and product-defining moment that makes users ooh and aah.

You don’t already know everything and you love to learn. You’re inspired by helping users solve their problems. You love finding out you’re wrong. You consume large amounts of quantitative and qualitative data to constantly refine your assumptions.

And finally, you want to be part of creating spectacular and impactful change at a company that is committed to becoming a light unto others when it comes to user experience design. You might have learned your craft via formal training or via on-the-job training. For most candidates, it’s a combination of both. As long as you’ve got experience and passion doing this work at the highest level, we’d love to talk to you and see a portfolio of the work you’re most proud of.
