Job Description
Due to its remote and hybrid culture, Alation conducts all of its interviewing and onboarding virtually.Big Data isn’t a problem. It’s an opportunity.
At Alation, we help people find, understand, and trust data. So they not only excel in their work they drive value for their enterprise, team, and role. In the words of one customer, Alation makes me look like a rockstar.
We help companies like Pfizer and Salesforce empower their people with the best data every day. As a platform for innovation, Alation helps customers create game-changing solutions (like a program for early-stage disease detection with Pfizer) and connect people to great data in less time (like Salesforce, whose analysts can now find data 35% faster). And we’re just getting started.
With more than $340M in funding - valued at over $1.7 billion and 450+ customers with household names - Alation is poised to capitalize on data as an opportunity. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Alation was named to Inc. Magazine’s Best Workplaces list for the fourth time. Do you want to join a team that welcomes new ideas, supports your growth, and recognizes your unique value?
Join us!

- Independent, but collaborative. You can operate with minimal oversight, but actively seek feedback from peers and stakeholders and can thoughtfully critique the work of others.
- Analytical and creative. You dig deep into the technology to understand and challenge constraints.
- Bold and scientific. You can accept risk when needed to move a project forward and you see it as an opportunity to test your hypothesis. You use outcomes to determine next steps.

Please include a portfolio with your application that showcases:- 2-3 projects representative of your range and expertise

- Partner with user researchers to understand the customer problems, and validate your designs through user testing and qualitative research.
- Ability to work independently and autonomously without losing sight of the larger user experience.
- Effectively collaborate, communicate and explain design rationale to business and technical partners.
