Principal UX Designer

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Experience Vision & Strategy

• Lead the definition and communication of a clear UX vision and multi-release experience roadmap for critical areas of the Seeq product, aligning teams around north-star experiences that simplify complex analytics and AI.

User-Centric Innovation at Scale

• Drive a user-centered approach to product decisions by partnering with product managers, engineers, and analytics stakeholders to plan and execute research, synthesize insights, and define experience success metrics.

Simplicity in Complexity

• Own end-to-end experiences that transform our full-featured calculation engine—capable of executing complex math and machine learning algorithms on streaming time series data—into effortless, trustworthy workflows for users.

Cross-Product Coherence

• Ensure customers experience Seeq as a unified product rather than a patchwork of features by championing coherent interaction patterns, information architecture, and visual systems across product areas.

Craft & Practice Leadership

• Elevate the UX practice by modeling best-in-class craft in research, interaction, and visual design; leading critiques and design reviews; mentoring designers; and helping the team move from reactive "just-in-time" work to proactive, strategic problem framing.

AI-Enabled Experiences

• Lead the design of AI-powered and GenAI-enabled workflows, defining how AI is surfaced, explained, and trusted in the product, and ensuring that human-in-the-loop interactions feel intuitive and insight-led.

Executive & Customer Storytelling

• Co-create with Product leadership compelling narratives and artifacts (e.g., "art of the possible" experiences, executive-ready flows and demos) that shape roadmaps, support top-down selling, and help customers understand what’s possible with Seeq.

End-to-End Impact & Delivery

• From ideation through multiple releases, be accountable for driving high-quality UX outcomes—ensuring design intent is carried through implementation, using data and feedback to iterate, and continually raising the bar for experience quality.

Requirements

• 10+ years of progressive experience in user experience/user interface design (UX/UI), including lead responsibility for complex B2B or SaaS products.
• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or certificate program in user experience design, human-computer interaction, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong, demonstrable experience conducting design work in a SaaS or other complex, data- or workflow-heavy product environment.
• Proven track record of owning end-to-end experiences for mission-critical product areas—from discovery through multiple releases—with measurable impact on business and customer outcomes.

Strategy, Leadership & Vision

• Demonstrated ability to elevate and mentor UX teams, setting standards for craft, leading critiques, and coaching designers to higher levels of impact and autonomy.
• Opinionated about, and experienced in, UX craft in the era of GenAI—both using AI in design workflows and designing for AI as a core part of the product experience.
• Experience defining and refining an experience vision that aligns with company growth areas and product strategy, and driving alignment to that vision across Product, Engineering, and Go-To-Market teams.
• Committed to experience coherence across product areas, ensuring customers experience one product vs. a patchwork of features.
• Ability to influence senior stakeholders and collaborate with Product leadership on shared artifacts that illustrate our vision for customers and prospects (e.g., "art of the possible" scenarios, executive-ready journeys).
• Strong advocate for UX best practices with the ability to contribute at any stage of the design process, producing high-quality UX artifacts and guiding teams toward best-practice approaches.
• Ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional settings while also operating with high autonomy and self-direction on complex, ambiguous problems.

Design & Technical Skills

• Portfolio showcasing comprehensive design processes, including discovery/research, problem framing, ideation, prototyping, and final deliverables for complex products.
• Demonstrated empathy for end-users, evidenced by user research involvement and implementations grounded in usability and behavioral insights.
• Proficiency in creating user flows, wireframes, storyboards, mockups, and interactive prototypes to communicate design concepts to teams and stakeholders at varying levels of fidelity.
• Expert with UI/UX design tools such as Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD, with a willingness to learn and leverage advanced prototyping tools (e.g., Axure, Justinmind) when appropriate.
• Experience using AI tools (Figma Make, v0, Lovable, etc.) to enhance UX design workflows and outcomes.
• Strong understanding of design principles including grids, typography, color theory, hierarchy, layout, iconography, imagery, patterns, and systems.
• Experience establishing or evolving design systems and pattern libraries that scale across multiple product areas.
• Comfort with mathematical concepts, data visualization (e.g., bar charts, graphs), and understanding engineering language, especially in technical and data-driven domains.

Desired Requirements

• Leads and actively shapes team activities, including standup meetings, design critiques, workshops, and other rituals—fostering a culture of constructive feedback and shared standards.
• Actively seeks and integrates feedback from colleagues, stakeholders, and customers, modeling a growth mindset and data-informed decision making.
• Proven ability to quickly master and design for complex, technical systems, especially in industrial, analytics, or other highly data-driven domains.
