Web Designer | MongoDB

Job Description

MongoDB’s Web team is looking for a UI Designer who is passionate about creating great, intuitive web experiences and generating business impact. This designer should care deeply about our customers and our brand, communicating through the web, our products and values while building scalable and pages that convert well.

The right person for this role is someone who can identify user needs and represent them into high performing web pages.

Hard Skills

• 3+ years of design experience
• Deep understanding of layout, visual hierarchy, and UX pattern and Web best practices
• Strong visual design skills, but can deliver less than pixel-perfect mocks for discussion and ideation. Data visualization skills a plus
• Have experience creating or implementing websites
• Have experience with design software and wireframe tools and google analytics
• Ability to iterate on new designs using qualitative and quantitative data to inform possible (but not all) design solutions
• Adept at designing, prototyping, testing, implementing, and evaluating user experiences
• Ability to elicit ideas from other team members, brainstorm with other team members, and bring the best ideas to life through simple and elegant design solutions

Soft Skills

• Personable. Being either introverted or extroverted is fine, but this person must be able to work with roles from all functions and strongly advocate for expressing user needs through design
• Being comfortable with ambiguity and continuous feedback. The Web Team team is tight-knit and collaborative, with many team members having extensive technical backgrounds
• Intellectual curiosity, always asking, “how can we improve?”
• Cares deeply about the impact of their work
• Has a positive, resourceful mindset, looking for ways to get things done instead of listing all the potential blockers
• Desire to always improve self, others and the experience our customers receive
• Demonstrates humility, as the best ideas for web design may often come from others on the team
• Firmly held beliefs are confidently expressed but can change based on new evidence

Did you check most of the boxes, but not all? That’s fine. There is no such thing as a “perfect candidate.” MongoDB is a place where everyone can and does grow. Our supportive, inclusive environment is a place where you can be your best self and safely ask others to help you get there. We just ask that you are open and honest where you might need a bit of extra support.

What makes our web team great?

• We value doing what’s best for each other, for the team and for the customer
• We move fast and we iterate a lot to get to the best outcome for our viewers
• We encourage open, honest, authentic communication that’s always respectful
• We believe that good ideas come from everywhere and that we are the facilitators of great design vs. the sole creators of design
• “Sign-off” is more about providing guidance and helping to fill in gaps vs. command and control, dictatorial design
• We like to have fun!

Each person that joins our team adds something unique and special, changing the team for the better. If you’re passionate about technology and this Web team sounds like one you’d like to be a part of, we’d love to hear from you!
