UX / UI Designer for Scientific Software

Datagrok is a comprehensive data analytics platform tailored for drug discovery. It can be used as a self-service tool for exploratory data analytics (think Excel meets Tableau on steroids). Additionally, there is a rich ecosystem of apps and plugins.

As a UX/UI designer, you’ll create intuitive interfaces that enable diverse user groups — scientists, business users, and R&D IT — to seamlessly navigate between broad data exploration, dashboards, and specialized tasks, all within a unified, cohesive environment.

Make no mistake, this will be hard. The platform must be comprehensive yet not overwhelming. Different apps should look and feel familiar. Dashboards need to work well in both creation and consumption modes. New users should feel comfortable from day one, but not at the expense of power users.

This role demands exceptional UX skills and a commitment to creating user experiences that are both powerful and intuitive. You’ll face complex problems that will push your limits. Be ready for a fast-paced, demanding environment that will keep your hands full.

Ideally, you

• Have a degree related to life science or have worked in biopharma

• Can code prototypes in JS/TS
• Can create magical experiences for users where everything just feels right

You will

• Design and improve all user-facing aspects of our platform and apps
• Ensure UI/UX consistency across the entire ecosystem (UI components, apps, etc.)
• Work with scientists directly to translate goals and workflows into requirements and mockups

• Instill the principles of good UI/UX throughout the company and mentor developers
• Co-create marketing content and product web pages

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as a UI/UX designer or a product designer (biopharma or data analytics industries are a big plus)

• Proficiency in design tools
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Strong communication skills
