UI & Visual Designer, Lens
Job Overview
Lens is the world’s most popular IDE for Kubernetes, used by over 1 million software developers around the globe. Trusted by the most iconic tech brands, Lens has grown from zero to massive adoption through a truly product-led and community-first approach. Our mission is to bring clarity and beauty to cloud-native development—removing complexity, increasing productivity, and delighting developers with exceptional user experience.
We’re now taking Lens to the next level. That means evolving our design system, refreshing our brand feel, and leveling up every touchpoint of the Lens experience. We’re looking for someone who wants to own that journey.
This is a foundational, hands-on role. You’ll be our first dedicated UI/UX Designer , building the future of Lens design—by doing the work and setting the vision.
As UI/UX Designer, you will:
- Own and evolve the Lens visual identity—from product UI to marketing visuals.
- Spearhead the implementation of our design system, ensuring consistency and clarity across all parts of the Lens experience.
- Design world-class user interfaces, especially for complex developer workflows in Kubernetes.
- Collaborate with product managers and engineers to shape feature designs and improve usability.
- Create high-quality Figma designs, interactive prototypes, and production-ready visuals.
- Craft visual assets for the product, web, events, social, docs—anywhere Lens shows up.
- Champion UI/UX quality across the org and advocate for the user.
This is not a managerial or oversight role—yet. You’ll be rolling up your sleeves and making it real. Over time, you’ll help us shape what design means inside the Lens organization. Once we’ve got the foundations in place and momentum going, we expect to expand the design team—and you’ll play a key role in shaping and leading that growth.
