Product Designer
Prisma's mission is to take the pain out of data for developers and businesses. We're helping teams of developers be more productive and confident working with their databases, and we believe that everyone, not just the Twitters and Facebooks should have the kind of tooling that makes it possible.
We're a small and dedicated team, with ample funding, mostly based in Berlin. We believe that good design is at the core of great developer experience, and well-considered products and interfaces continue being our competitive advantage.
