Data Visualization Designer
is looking for a Data Visualization Designer to help us revolutionize how investors view and interact with financial data.
We are a well-funded start-up that provides data management and analytics services for investors (learn about what we do at www.quovo.com). Our mandate is to combine Big Data horsepower with an intuitive and dazzling front-end in order to make once-burdensome and disparate tasks a real breeze (and maybe even a pleasure). Tools as powerful as ours are usually UX abominations; conversely, the
prettiest financial sites are also some of the least sophisticated. We’re bridging that gap — and we need your help!
Note: We are flexible on the arrangement, be it full-time, part-time, contract, or even intern if you think you’ve got the chops but your resume isn’t quite long enough. Our priority is finding the best talent and work with them however makes the most sense.
Responsibilities
– Lead the complete lifecycle of visualization development, from development of mockups and storyboards of use cases to final application
– Conceptualize groundbreaking ways to represent complex investment data and enable users to interact with/manipulate that data
– Work alongside senior leadership to integrate data visualization into specific features and use cases
– Layer visualizations onto traditional investment statistics and data-centered workflows
– Work with senior developers to integrate visualizations and charting into existing application architecture
Qualifications
– Expert knowledge of HTML/CSS
– In-depth experience with JavaScript focusing on charting and visualization (e.g. Highcharts, D3, Rafael). Note: Other Quovo developers will/can assist with design execution (especially with respect to server-side and database-related coding), but we expect this role to include a moderate/heavy amount of coding in JS
– Ability to actually build/code what you design is a major plus, but can be overlooked for the right design visionary
– Proven experience translating complicated data into elegant solutions
– Experience in developing visualizations, particularly visual analytics, time series visualizations, and interactive data exploration
– A strong union between analytical and design thinking
– Knowledge and/or interest in financial/investment statistics and their underlying meaning a big plus
Please send resume and cover letter (nothing too fancy needed) to niko.karvounis@quovo.com
