Design Systems & Interaction Architecture
Own and evolve the embedded analytics design system, defining component libraries, interaction patterns, and usage guidelines that scale across multiple product teams and development tracks.
Establish and govern user interaction models for complex analytics surfaces including dashboards, data visualizations, filtering systems, drill-down experiences, and contextual data exploration.
Define and document design standards, ensuring consistency of experience across embedding contexts, host applications, and diverse end-user environments.
Cross-Team Collaboration & Engineering Partnership
Partner deeply and daily with frontend, backend, and platform engineering teams to translate design intent into technically sound, implementable solutions — acting as a true co-creator rather than a handoff-driven designer.
Participate actively in sprint ceremonies, architecture discussions, and technical reviews, contributing UX perspective to decisions that impact the end-user experience.
Champion a continuous feedback loop between design and engineering, using prototypes, annotations, and paired working sessions to reduce ambiguity and accelerate implementation.
AI-Augmented Design & Delivery
Leverage AI-powered design and prototyping tools (such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Figma AI, and other generative toolsets) to accelerate wireframing, component generation, and design specification workflows.
Strategic Leadership & Stakeholder Influence
Operate as a principal-level UX leader, influencing product strategy, roadmap prioritization, and design investment decisions through a deep understanding of user needs and analytics use cases.
Facilitate design reviews, workshops, and critique sessions across multi-team contexts, driving alignment and resolving design ambiguity at scale.
Demonstrated expertise in defining and maintaining design systems for web-based products, including component libraries, interaction guidelines, and governance processes.
Proven track record designing embedded analytics, business intelligence, or data visualization experiences — with deep understanding of how users explore, interpret, and act on data.
Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to present design rationale clearly to executive, product, and engineering audiences.
Proficiency in Figma, including component architecture, auto-layout, variables, and design token management.
Experience designing for embedded analytics platforms or BI tools (e.g., Tableau Embedded, Looker, Power BI Embedded, Sisense, or equivalent).
The salary range in United States of America for this position is 184,000.00 to 231,000.00 USD Annual.
Your specific offer within this range will be determined by your skills, experience, and qualifications. For non-sales roles, you may be eligible for a bonus. For sales roles, this range includes a commission target.
We are committed to pay transparency and fair compensation practices. If you have questions about our compensation approach, please don't hesitate to ask during the interview process.
