About the role
You'll join the team behind Flyway, Redgate's database change management product, working alongside a technical lead, product manager and five software engineers, with support from a Lead Product Designer. This is a hands-on role covering everything from early exploration through to shipped, production-ready solutions.
End-to-end design collaboration, from prototyping through to production and testing, shaping workflows, interfaces and interactions for a complex technical product.
Close collaboration with product and engineering, making sure a design and experience perspective is factored into delivery from the outset.
Use of qualitative and quantitative research to inform decisions, with regular user testing feeding directly into how the product evolves.
Contribution to Honeycomb, Redgate's shared UI component and pattern library, alongside coaching and mentoring of junior team members.
A technical, specialist domain where your work directly shapes how DBAs and DevOps teams manage risk in their databases.
What makes you a great fit
Experience designing for software or database development tools, or other complex, technical B2B domains.
A portfolio demonstrating a user-centred design process, from research through to shipped solutions.
Experience turning research findings into clear, well-reasoned design recommendations, even when the picture is ambiguous or incomplete.
Experience working in cross-functional agile teams, collaborating closely with product managers, engineers and other designers.
Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain design decisions clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
