About the Role
bank's Card Data team is building an end-to-end data lineage solution from the ground up. This is a greenfield product with real users across engineering, data, and analytics, with a clear delivery timeline. We are looking for a senior contractor designer who can own the full design process: from original user research to high-quality UI and interactive prototypes ready for engineering.
This role sits at the intersection of data infrastructure and user experience. The right person will be curious about how data moves through complex systems, comfortable talking to highly technical users, and skilled at turning what they learn into clean, intuitive experiences.
