Job Description

Due to the continued growth of our R&D department, we are looking to hire a Senior UX/UI Designer in our London office. This is a hybrid role, requiring a minimum of 2 days per week in the office (Thursdays and Fridays). As you will be one of our sub-leaders in the UX/UI team you may also need to travel to our Cambridge office at times.

What Will I Be Doing

Our Senior UX/UI Designer will be providing strategic mentorship and support to other designers within the UX/UI team, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Role

This role will see you leading the design of wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI based on complex user needs as well as overseeing and conducting user research, usability tests, and experiments to refine designs. Additionally you will:

• Develop, maintain, and enhance sophisticated design systems and processes.
• Communicate and collaborate with the UI development team to create viable products for testing and partnering with the technical teams to balance user needs, business value, and technical feasibility.
• Drive innovation by exploring new ideas using various visual interfaces and cutting-edge technologies at Darktrace, including AI, AR/VR, and motion-sensing technology.

What Experience Do I Need

We encourage applications from senior designers with a proven track record in UX/UI Design with a passion for understanding user needs and creating products that serve them.
