Sigma’s vision is to create an insight-driven world where people and organizations are transformed for the better by access to data and the insights it contains. At Sigma, we are building a cloud-native business intelligence platform that allows users to tap into their biggest databases hosted in the cloud and easily conduct analysis and graph data -- all without any programming involved. We are growing the product design team and looking for a designer who has the curiosity to get to know our users and the chops to design world-class, understandable experiences. You will be part of a talented team of designers on a shared mission to make data analytics highly usable and easily accessible to non-technical users.

What You Will Be Doing

  • You’ll own and shape the user-facing language and content strategy for key areas of our product, helping to define the future of our product.
  • You’ll be working with a talented, down-to-earth set of data-obsessed people who iterate, learn, grow, and ship value to customers together.
  • You’ll translate complex data concepts and analytical actions into clear, intuitive language, enabling users to confidently build analyses and find insights even when they are not highly technical.
  • You'll own the end-to-end content design process for major product areas, from initial strategy and research to final copy and implementation.
  • Working with our PMs, researchers, marketeers, product designers, and engineers, you will actively seek user feedback and collaboratively advance content solutions that improve product adoption, comprehension, and overall usability.
  • You will champion content accessibility and inclusivity, ensuring our in-product language, terminology, and information architecture are easily understood by users of all backgrounds and abilities.
  • You will develop scalable content frameworks, design system practices, define terminology, and build glossaries to ensure a cohesive and consistent voice across the entire product.

  • A strong portfolio of work demonstrating your process for creating and implementing effective content, from UI microcopy to broader information architecture.

  • Capable of working autonomously, leading complex projects, and delivering high-quality content solutions in a fast-paced environment.
  • Capable of rapid iteration, feedback cycles, and experimentation. Seeks deep understanding of customer needs and has the ability to assess and incorporate their feedback into content solutions.
  • Demonstrable ability to think about entire content systems, with the vision to design the big picture, and the tactical ability to break it down so that engineering can succeed in building it incrementally.
  • Exceptional facilitation, communication and presentation skills; demonstrating the ability to clearly explain content decisions and advocate for the user to anyone in the company.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in a related field such as Design, HCI, English, Communications, or Journalism.

Portfolio Requirements

  • We want to see your process and the progressive evolution of your work. Please show the business problem you were trying to solve, the constraints and assumptions you worked within, and your significant iterations leading to the final product.
  • We want to understand how your content solutions furthered company objectives while meeting user needs. Examples of style guides, glossaries, content testing, and naming exercises are highly encouraged.
  • Portfolios that showcase work on complex, data-heavy products will be a plus.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
