Qualifications

• Experience designing for software or database development tools.
• A portfolio demonstrating a user-centred design process, from research through to shipped solutions.

• Close collaboration with product and engineering, making sure a design and experience perspective is factored into delivery from the outset.
• Use of qualitative and quantitative research to inform decisions, with regular user testing feeding directly into how the product evolves.
• Contribution to Honeycomb, Redgate's shared UI component and pattern library, alongside coaching and mentoring of junior team members.
• A technical, specialist domain where your work directly shapes how DBAs and DevOps teams manage risk in their databases.
