About Observe
At Observe, we didn’t set out to build just another observability company, we set out to build a data company. We wanted to challenge the costly traditional approaches of siloed data that leads to fragmented tooling and fragile dashboards. Instead, we solve data problems by bringing those data silos together, by creating relational business objects modeled from semi-structured logs. We are a company that enables IT professionals to investigate distributed applications 10x faster and less costly. Not only do we design for power-users, we strive to make our products usable for just about anyone — from business analysts to customer success. We’re a smart, dedicated, and innovative team who want to build a great product in a challenging space.

Design at Observe
You play a key role in shaping observability and the next generation of SaaS software. Design plays a crucial part in Observe and has a seat at the table with both engineering and product. We work not only as designers, but tactical product managers - we're seen as problem solvers who can take vague requirements and turn them into tactile solutions. We lead important feature projects and shape the product to have the best user experience possible. We believe in constantly improving (ourselves, the team, and the product), learning new things, and taking the initiative.

We're looking for...
An experienced product designer (3-5 years) - You have a design portfolio that showcases your ability to design software that is beautiful, powerful, and intuitive. You've designed complex enterprise software before. Within the observability or data analytics space is a huge plus.
Strong visual chops - You have a deep desire to make things look good! A great attention to detail, a love for making a pleasing experience, and you want to build good products for people to enjoy using.
Independent and product-minded - We're a very small and nimble team. We not only follow the roadmap, but take the initiative when we spot opportunities to improve the product. Not only are you able to take things on your own when needed, you also love to collaborate. Also a low ego and an eagerness to give and receive constructive feedback in a transparent work environment.
Excited about solving complex problems - Observe is tackling a huge data problem. Scale and complexity are the name of the game. You should find the nature of this to be exciting and a great opportunity for strong design to have a hand in shaping these solutions.

What you'll be doing...

  • Set design strategy for the projects focusing on customer-based outcomes and the long-term vision of the product
  • Design and communicate your vision to the team using mock-ups, documentation, and prototypes
  • Execute at every stage of the design lifecycle from ideation to delivery
  • Partner effectively across the org in order to help deliver a cohesive experience for our customers
  • Work closely with other designers on large and complex features
  • Participate and shape the design team’s culture
  • Also help shape the visual direction of both the product and brand
  • Help the team work more effectively while raising the quality bar for our user experience
  • Deliver high-quality, polished, delightful, and easy-to-use designs
  • Keep abreast of competitor products and industry trends; perform competitive and comparative analysis to understand existing patterns

We hire for 100% remote, but we expect at least 3 days a week in-office if you live on the peninsula (within 20mi of San Mateo, including SF). Outside of that can be fully remote.
