Hi there! We are also hiring for a Visual Designer without a focus on data visualization right now. Find more information here.
We at Datawrapper want to help everyone create better charts, maps, and tables. To achieve this, we offer a data visualization tool that individuals and organizations like The New York Times, The Washington Post, Zeit Online, and Spiegel rely on to quickly and easily create beautiful visualizations for their online and print publications.
Creating data visualizations can be challenging, and creating beautiful ones, even more so. In order to support our users and make their task as easy as possible, we keep improving our app. Which is why:
We’re looking for a Data Vis Product Designer to join our team.
This role is available on a 5-day-per-week or 4-day-per-week basis (on 80% salary), on a permanent contract (“unbefristeter Vertrag”). The full-time compensation for this role will be between 50,000 and 70,000€ per year, including 30 days of paid vacation and benefits.
This role is available both for candidates who wish to work on-site in Berlin, as well as candidates working remotely. If you work remotely, you need to be based within a 1 hour time zone difference from Berlin.
You’ll join the Datawrapper Design team, which includes David, Alex, and Gustav. Together, we oversee every aspect of design across the company. Our work ranges from product design – deciding which features to add and how they work, look, and feel – to managing our brand’s visual identity and visual communication. With so many big topics on our plate, we’re excited to grow the team.
You’ll design what users will be able to do with Datawrapper and make it easy for them to do so:
You’ll also work on our design system to make components reusable, and will help with user tests to learn more about our users and their needs.
You’ll fit in well if you’re great at the following:
You should also have the following skills:
Visualizations created with Datawrapper reach over 200 million unique visitors every month and get viewed billions of times. Our chart editor is used by tens of thousands of users — writers, statisticians, data scientists, public servants, financial analysts, and many more. Our most prominent and visible customers are newsrooms: Datawrapper is used by data visualization teams at organizations like The New York Times, The Washington Post, Reuters, and many more.
We build and support Datawrapper with a team of >30 people, which gives everyone a critical and important role in shaping the future of our company.
A happy work life! We at Datawrapper appreciate a shared feeling of doing meaningful work, a high degree of freedom, helpful coworkers, and a friendly working environment.

Please note: This role was previously listed under the title “UI / UX designer with experience in data visualization”. If you have applied to that role already, you are already in consideration.
We hope you apply, especially if you’re from a group that’s underrepresented in our team.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
– David and the Datawrapper team
