Work on meaningful problems with Capital One as a Data Visualization Designer (DC or NYC)

[youknow...@gmail.com]

Data Visualization makes data tangible for our company and customers, thereby empowering us all by transforming what’s unknown into something that’s known. We enable these outcomes by digging into data sets, large and small, to manifest it in enlightening, understandable ways to fuel decision-making. We’re looking for a designer to help build this new practice.

WHO ARE YOU? LIKELY SOMEONE WHO…

• Is deeply creative and driven by playfulness, wonder, and a thirst for understanding
• Is a problem solver with a knack for uncovering elegant solutions
• Enjoys fully immersing yourself in data, business constraints, and customer problems you’re interpreting.
  
• Asks questions to get at the deeper-level “why” because you prioritize relevance and meaning over the artifact or visualization itself

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS ROLE
As a Capital One Data Visualization Designer, you'll likely be working on problems such as anti-money laundering (meaning, fighting terrorism and human trafficking), fraud detection, and cybersecurity as well as fun stuff like making sense of Eno's (our textbot) conversations and looking at how well our associates collaborate. You'll work closely with our Machine Learning group to find new ways to visualize their outputs and algorithms. You may work on everything from customer-facing interfaces, physical installations, and internal tools. Here’s what you’ll be doing:

Design
You’ll spend the majority of your time exploring the shape of data visually. Tools like Illustrator, Photoshop, and Tableau are extremely familiar to you. You also like to dabble with specialized tools such as Gephi, RAW, and Plot.ly. Your sketchbook is your constant companion. You’re passionate about layout, typography, and color and have the expertise and awareness to defend your design choices. You recognize that data visualization design optimizes for comprehension, engagement, and contextualization, and you’ve done your research on perception and cognition.

Build
You love to show your work in context so tools like Sketch, Balsamiq, and/or Axure are in your toolbox. You like to test out ideas with quick prototypes. For the finished product, and working closely with engineers, you’ll apply your designs primarily through CSS which you know inside out and backwards. While you’re not a developer, you have a strong opinion of pacing, transitions, and overall experience of the finished product; and you're comfortable jumping into code to visually refine it.

Learn
Passion for your craft drives you to stay on top of the latest developments in the field. You’re comfortable reaching out to experts and your peers alike to facilitate your understanding of techniques and tools.

Share
Your participation in external and internal communities alike is expected and encouraged.
