Enigma
Full-time, Senior Production Designer
Company Overview:
Enigma is a rapidly growing enterprise technology company based in the
Flatiron neighborhood of New York City. We are Series B funded,
partnering with some of the best investors in the world: New
Enterprise Associates, Two Sigma Ventures, Comcast Ventures, Crosslink
Capital, American Express Ventures, and others.
Founded in 2012, Enigma was started based on the realization that
there was tremendous potential in using public data to understand how
the world works, but that it was untapped because the data is highly
fragmented and disconnected. Enigma set out to change that by building
and organizing one of the largest collections of public data in the
world, and our big coming out party was winning TechCrunch Disrupts
Battlefield in 2013. Our vision has remained steadfast, we want to
empower people to interpret, and improve, the world around them.
However, we have expanded our ability to realize this vision by
combining our massive public data repository with an ecosystem of
software and tools designed to link, resolve, enhance and apply data
to help global-scale companies take on some of their hardest problems,
ranging from preventing money laundering to ensuring patient safety.
Job Description:
Our Design team crafts delightful experiences that make data users
lives easier. We’re a close-knit, collaborative group, guided by a

UI components common to multiple applications. The intent is to enable
a more familiar cross-application experience for our clients and
define modern solutions that can adapt to modular systems and
interaction models. We are seeking a holistic designer who can
identify businesses and their users’ needs, determine possible
solutions, gather feedback from multiple sources and ultimately
provide detailed implementation direction.

stakeholders is a key to success in this position. Enigma’s in-house
team that works directly with executives, product managers, and
engineers to bring great products to life.
