UX Designer

We’re looking for a UX Designer who wants to be a part of our design and front-end team at Fornebu, just outside Oslo, Norway. Your job will consist of designing and developing new and existing features in our cyber security solution. Together with our physical security department, you will also get the opportunity to shape our unified security solution.

A side of cyber security that hasn’t received a lot of attention until now has been challenges around insider threats. At Ava, we are taking this problem seriously, and our goal is to make the world’s best platform for revealing and acting on insider threats. An insider threat is a person with privileged access to your network and data, who has either been tricked into giving third party actors access or who him- or herself is behaving negligently, or has dishonest and malicious intentions.

Our platform is continuously gathering vast amounts of information, and it will be your responsibility to offer this information to the end user in an effective and user-friendly way.

While helping companies reveal insider threats, it is important to remember to develop any solution in an ethical way, with a focus on privacy and legislation.

Your job as a designer at Ava will be to create great solutions by balancing user needs with an understanding of good design, advanced technology, and business, by:

• Conceptualizing, designing, and following up on implementation of new functionality in close collaboration with product management, and front- and backend developers
• Improving current work, both in regards to processes and tools
• Staying up to date with the latest developments within design and technology, and suggesting short- and long-term solutions that fit our requirements.

We will expect you to be proactive, to take ownership of the product, and to make decisions that will benefit the company. Our organization is still fairly small, and you will have the opportunity to shape our product.

You’re not expected to have all of the following skills, but they will be useful in performing your job.

We are looking for someone who:

• Can use a wide range of design tools and techniques
• Is able to develop wireframes, interactive prototypes, as well as manage and develop our current design library and processes
• Is passionate about creating great user experiences on screen
• Is analytical and tech-savvy, as well as a creative force
• Understands, and can structure and convey, complex information in an easily understandable and user-friendly way
• Is a UX/UI/digital designer with 5+ years of experience who has worked with a broad spectrum of projects in the tech industry
• Is proficient in English.

Even though you’re not expected to be an artistic graphic designer, it is an advantage if you have a solid understanding of layout, compositions, colors, and typography to be able to deliver designs of high graphical quality. It’s also an advantage if you have some experience with programming in a design context, like for creating interactive prototypes. If you have experience working with and visualizing large data sets, that’s also considered a plus.

Does this sound like you? We'd love you to apply, even if you don't meet 100% of the requirements and qualifications.
