Role
We’re looking for a designer to join our newest data visualization team. Your role will be conceptualizing, designing, prototyping, and helping deliver world-class data visualizations that live within our product ecosystem. These innovative data visualizations will harness the power of our incredibly expansive datasets, and will be powered by WebGL and modern 3D frameworks — containing next-generation interface paradigms, immersive user experiences, cinematic animations, and rich interactivity.
At Piano, we believe that our product experience is the brand experience — to that end, our designers are key stakeholders of not only our product experience, but also our brand identity and international market appeal.

What you’ll do

Evolve the brand — Continually drive forward the holistic identity, sophistication, character, and recurring patterns of our brand and our overall design system.
Collaborate by design — Set the standard of excellence in design and maintain it throughout every phase of a project. Collaborate closely with fellow designers and other product creatives by utilizing the latest technologies and software. Work closely with other disciplinary leads to ensure the integrity and solidarity of design implementation.
Understand the space — Work with product managers to understand and translate challenging data-driven storytelling opportunities into incredibly sophisticated data visualizations.
Set the vision — Discover, conceptualize, and fully form the complete design vision for features, visualizations, and reports and guide them through to actualization.
Innovate always — Continually push the envelope by seeking radically new ways of solving problems both new and old, familiar and unfamiliar.
Design systematically — Leverage, evolve, and contribute to the core components, styles, elements, visual assets and tools that make up our design system.
