About Us VIDEO
Founded in 2013, Pivotal Software, Inc., combines our leading cloud-native platform, tools, and methodology to empower the world's largest organizations to adapt to change and build great software. Our technology unleashes developer productivity, while fulfilling our mission to transform how the world builds software.

Your Day
Product designers at Pivotal Labs ensure we solve the right problems and understand user needs to deliver new or improved products and services that have real impact. We espouse a lean/iterative mentality, and try not to treat design artifacts as precious - the only deliverable we are concerned with is the software.

You are a "full stack" designer in the sense that you are willing to help out on any of the dimensions of design - research, testing, ux, visual, css, etc. It's ok if you're not an expert in every speciality! We don't expect you to know everything - we just want you to be curious enough to want to learn.

As consultants, the goal is to ship products that create real value while enabling the client team to develop skills necessary to take the product home after an engagement with our team - you will be teaching traditional waterfall designers how to fish.

You are working with a cross-disciplinary product team and pair with everyone - developers, product managers, other designers, and your clients. You show clients the value of agile design, and the importance of user testing in making smart product choices.

In the spirit of agile design, you have the opportunity to experiment with process. - do what works, try new things, and stop doing things that don't work.

Required Skills / Experiences
5+ years of professional experience in a related field. Degree or equivalent experience preferred
Bring deep experience in at least one facet of the 3 facets of design: user research, interaction design or visual design
Have experience designing applications, from consumer facing to internal tools
Lead product design from research through implementation - you want to help the team succeed more than making a nice sketch file
Maintain a user-centered approach while respecting business needs
Able to work and be effective in an agile design environment, rather than a waterfall one
Have experience and curiosity within agile and lean philosophies
Have experience working independently with clients or stakeholders in a consulting role
Knowledge of modern front-end systems and open source frameworks (iOS, Android, Bootstrap, responsive patterns, etc.)
Willingness to travel up to 30%
Desired Skills / Experiences
Have experience enabling clients in user centered design best practices
Experienced in user research methodologies and can educate others
Interest in giving talks on design to clients and internal pivots
Some familiarity with CSS - you don't have to be an expert
Active member of the design community

Pay Range: 93,500 - 126,500 CAD
