Design at the Speed of Drilling

We're not looking for someone to make our software pretty. We're looking for someone to make it disappear—to design interfaces so intuitive that roughnecks, engineers, and executives forget they're using software at all.

DATUM is where cutting-edge ML meets boots-on-the-ground operations. Our design philosophy is simple: UX isn't a feature. It's the product.

New to the industry? That's exactly why we want you. You haven't learned to accept that industrial software "has to be" clunky. You still believe enterprise tools can spark joy. You're right.

The Real Deal About This Role

You'll get mud on your boots. Literally. One week you're sketching interfaces in Figma, the next you're on a rig at dawn watching operators interact with your designs through safety glasses and work gloves. You'll sit in control rooms understanding why that button needs to be exactly there. You'll present to executives who make million-dollar decisions based on your visualizations.

This isn't theoretical design. When we say "ship fast," we mean your designs will be in production within weeks, used by real people making real decisions. You'll watch, learn, iterate, and ship again.

How We Invest in Design

UX is our superpower, and we put our money where our mouth is:

Growth Trajectory

Start by designing interfaces. Within months, you'll be shaping product strategy. You'll work directly with our ML team to imagine new ways of visualizing predictions. You'll partner with marketing to ensure brand coherence. You'll become dangerously knowledgeable about an industry that powers the world.

When Google or Apple eventually tries to poach you because you've redefined what industrial UX can be, we'll write your recommendation letter with pride.

The Honest Truth

This is demanding work. Your designs will be used in situations where mistakes cost millions. You'll need to balance beauty with bulletproof reliability. You'll learn more about drilling operations than you ever thought possible.

But you'll also ship designs that matter. That keep people safe. That make experts trust AI for the first time. That prove industrial software can be as delightful as consumer apps.
