Company mission
Our mission is to provide non-technical teams ("operators") with the same type of leverage as their technical counterparts.
Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for a senior candidate with 3+ years of experience
- While experience is important, we especially value an appetite to learn and execute in a complex data product
- Can ship end to end. Different Designers on our team bring different strengths, but we can all finish and ship our own highly polished visual designs. We expect for this Product Designer to do the same (no research- or UX-only roles)
- Applicants should excel in Product/UI but being able to stretch across multiple types of work is a bonus
What the job involves
- Product/UI:
- This is the priority for this role
- Our EPD (Engineering, Product, Design) team is building data tool that is highly visual and interactive, offering a unique opportunity for designers
- Comfort with working with React Components and libraries is highly beneficial, as is any coding knowledge, but not strictly necessary
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and other stakeholders to align on project goals and deliver high-quality outcomes. Your insights will drive key decisions around product design and user experience
- Web/Marketing:
- There may be occasional needs to work on the website, marketing collateral (presentations, emails, case studies, ads, etc.), and our visual systems
- Misc:
- As always, Design is uniquely able to help with some things, like designing company swag, expanding our visual system, and more! We prioritize our time carefully but will help wherever possible
- A Product Designer at Parabola will work with other Designers, a Product Manager, and Engineers to build UI/UX that makes it easy to accomplish complex things with data
- The Design team is small (currently a Design Lead and a Sr. Brand Designer), but is highly collaborative and has influence across the company
- Exchanging feedback is our way of life
- We value making good decisions together — as a team — and welcome input from everyone
- Remember: Great ideas come from anywhere, feedback makes your designs better, and the designs are ours, not mine or yours
- We want to ship quickly, but execute well
- As a startup, we value speedy shipping … it’s how we make a difference in the world
- The Design team helps empower our partners to ship quickly, but while still maintaining a high quality bar
- Balancing those things is at the core of our day to day designing and decision-making
- The product is friendly (and it’s awesome), but it’s technical
- We lean on and trust in our customer conversations, CX, Product, and Engineering partners to make informed decisions and design intuitive interactions
- We work in Figma
- And it works really well for us
- That includes our visual system and a lot of marketing surfaces as well
Our take
The Parabola platform aims to simplify the automation of regular tasks. Using a drag-and-drop interface, Parabola eliminates the need for programming knowledge and enables users to automate repetitive tasks within programmes such as Excel or Google Sheets and between software, for example, taking data from Salesforce to send targeted emails to a specific set of customers.
With the aid of an $8M financing round led by Matrix Partners, the company has created a Shopify connector, taking advantage of the upsurge in online shopping and opening up to a potentially huge market of e-commerce businesses.
There are several other successful businesses such as Integrify and RoboTask, each with similar offerings for task automation. Parabola differentiates itself from these competitors with the continued innovation around e-commerce, with the integration of the Shopify platform, a huge time saver for online retailers.
