Data Visualisation Designer / Engineer | JavaScript | SVG | Canvas | D3.js

London | to £160,000 | Hybrid Work


Great charts don’t just show data. They tell a story.


Looking to hire a Data Visualisation Engineer to help shape how developers around the world tell visual stories with data.


You’ll join a highly respected, product-led engineering team building a modern, open-source JavaScript charting library used at serious scale, from complex enterprise systems to high-stakes decision-making tools.


Your mission:


  • Raise the visual bar.
  • Turn data into stories developers are proud to ship.


This sits right at the intersection of data visualisation, design judgement, and engineering craft.


What you’ll be doing


  • Designing beautiful, meaningful chart examples that demonstrate how data should feel when it’s well presented
  • Elevating the visual quality and storytelling across documentation, demos, and the website
  • Defining and championing best-practice visualisation patterns — clarity first, always
  • Helping developers understand why a chart works, not just how to configure it
  • Contributing to blogs, tutorials, and visual content that teach strong visual thinking
  • Optionally contributing to the core charting engine if you enjoy going deeper technically


What we’re looking for


  • A strong portfolio that shows visual storytelling, not just charts-for-the-sake-of-it
  • Deep understanding of data visualisation principles (hierarchy, scale, colour, perception)
  • Excellent visual taste and obsessive attention to detail
  • Strong JavaScript and/or TypeScript
  • Experience with charting or data visualisation libraries
  • The ability to clearly explain visual decisions — to engineers and non-engineers alike


Nice to have


  • Experience with Canvas or SVG
  • Interest in computer graphics
  • Comfort working close to engineers on real production systems


Why people enjoy this team


  • You’re not styling dashboards — you’re shaping a foundational visual product
  • Your work influences how thousands of developers present data
  • High-quality, long-lived codebase with strong engineering values
  • Calm, grown-up culture — no heroics, no late nights
  • Hybrid working, modern tooling, and real respect for craft


If this role interests you, please apply with your CV and links to your product portfolio. I look forward to speaking with you!
