Senior UX Designer

As a Senior User Experience (UX) Designer at Striveworks you’ll be challenged—and trusted—on day one to be a core contributor to the direction of the company.

Striveworks is a cutting-edge software startup that provides companies with tools to build and support machine learning models at scale. Our team is composed of experts in machine learning, software development, and cloud as well as on-prem infrastructure. We are committed to helping both government and commercial organizations harness the power of AI.

As a Senior UX Designer, you will be responsible for driving the evolution of our user experience across our platform and products. You will work closely with our product management, engineering, and data science teams to design and implement user-centered solutions that enable our customers to create and manage machine learning models with ease. 

The anticipated base pay range for this position is $160,000–$200,000/year. Striveworks’ total compensation package includes a competitive base salary, annual performance-based equity grants, and a lucrative yearly cash bonus.

This position offers a fully remote work environment, or you can work hybrid/onsite at our office in northwest Austin, TX.

We spend a lot of time during our hiring process talking about shared values. 

Why? We passionately believe that fostering an environment where people can self-actualize and pursue greatness is the best way to achieve our individual and collective goals. 

What does this mean for you? We want to provide you with the conditions to thrive in an environment where you can achieve your goals, where you know the team shares your goals, and where you make and accept decisions for the team with humility. At Striveworks, we want your say/do ratio to be 1 and to know that being part of a top-tier team means that there is no smartest person in the room. If that makes sense, we’re already on the same page.

What you’ll own and do: 

• Collaborate with product management, engineering, and data science teams to understand user needs, gather requirements, and define user flows and interactions
• Conduct interviews and gather user feedback to better inform UX decisions
• Combine market research, product development, strategy, and design to create seamless user experiences for products, services, and processes
• Develop wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs using design tools such as Sketch, Figma, and Adobe Creative Suite
• Conduct usability testing and analyze user feedback to iteratively refine designs and improve the user experience
• Define and maintain design systems, style guides, and design patterns to ensure consistency and scalability across the platform and products
• Communicate design decisions and solutions to stakeholders and contribute to the development of product strategy
• Drive rapid design iterations to identify user needs and pain points, validate assumptions, and refine product features based on user feedback
• Nurture a user-centric culture that values experimentation and continuous improvement

What we’re looking for:

• 6+ years relevant experience
• Strong portfolio showcasing expertise in UX research, web interface design, interaction design, and visual design
• Proficiency with design tools such as Figma, Sketch, InVision, or Adobe Creative Suite
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, agile environment and manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Experience with machine learning or data science concepts is a plus
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work collaboratively across teams.
• Driven, self-directed personality
• Strong sense of mission and commitment to making a difference
• Eligible to work in the US without sponsorship (e.g. Permanent Resident, U.S. Citizen)
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in UX design, HCI, or related field

• Top-of-market salary and total compensation
• Generous equity plan
• Health/vision/dental insurance
• Flexible PTO
• Childcare leave

The world has looked to data analytics to bridge the gap between floods of data and the struggle to use that data effectively to make timely, impactful decisions. Today, most organizations are awash in analytics that “aren’t quite right”—models that were developed too generally, or too slowly, to be effective in dynamic, fast-paced environments. Striveworks is simplifying ModelOps with a powerful and extensible platform that instantiates the data analytic process as code. 

Striveworks is trusted by leading Fortune 500 firms as well as leaders in the public sector as a primary solution for managing model development, monitoring, and governance—and ensuring those models solve the real challenges their organizations face.

Striveworks’ Chariot platform enables users to turn their own production data into models and turn models into production systems. Uniquely, as you train, test, deploy, and use models, our lineage system enables you to track not only the “upstream” provenance of model and data sources, but also the “downstream” usage of the resultant model inferences. Combining this with a principled experience for data and model development, Chariot gives our customers in highly regulated industries an unmatched governance solution over the top of a performant ModelOps platform.
