  • You are strong in visual and UI design and will help the team create new templates and design patterns as our product matures
  • You have experience collaborating with diverse teams to deliver the best design possible
  • You believe that direct user research, user feedback, and usage data are critical to the design process
  • You have redesigned aspects of a product and rolled out large changes incrementally, and you understand how to balance a long-term vision with immediate business goals
  • You have helped build high-performing teams and have experience mentoring other creatives
  • You have excellent information presentation (visual and written) skills

UX at mabl:

The UX team is driven by mabl’s core values: drive, insight, support, and authenticity. Working closely with our users and product team, the UX team delivers insights to the entire mabl organization to champion user-centered design practices.

An Insider's view of mabl

What are some social events your company does?

Beginning as we were coming out of the Covid lockdown, we started an annual tradition of a full company offsite. In addition, we host gatherings at our office including our Sports themed party held this year. We also participate in volunteer programs in our neighborhood.

Our vision is to empower everyone on a software development team to participate in quality. Whether you're a product owner, developer, QA engineer, or manual tester, software testing is a shared responsibility which mabl enables teams to participate in.
