Avo fixes data quality in product analytics, helping teams like Ikea, Boozt.com, Wolt, Fender, Sixt and Affirm to plan, implement and monitor analytics, so they don't fly blind and fail to build great user experiences.

We are looking for a skilled Visual Designer to join our growing team. As a Visual Designer, you will be responsible for making the complex simple by creating visually appealing and intuitive user interfaces for our product. You will report to our Design Lead and collaborate closely with a fantastic cross-disciplinary team to shape our product visions and bring them to life.

We understand that no one fits a mold perfectly, and that’s a good thing! So if you’re excited about this opportunity but not sure that you hit all the skills and traits below, we’d still love for you to apply!

What is Avo?

Today’s successful businesses have the best user experience, and rely on analytics every day for product and go-to-market strategy. While there are plenty of customer analytics solutions out there, a problem rarely talked about is that managing analytics releases is a complete and utter pain. Product data is uniquely complex because it’s ever-changing, to keep up with ever-changing products. Teams either have terrible data, or immense overhead in planning, implementing and verifying analytics releases with every product update. And even when teams throw days into that overhead, they still release bad event tracking, with inconsistent and duplicate events, discrepancies between platforms, missing properties, inconsistent property types etc. All of this causes data people to hate their jobs and it causes companies to mistrust their data, or worse, make wrong decisions.

It’s time to change that.

Avo is the leading data governance platform for event based analytics. Avo brings data people together with product managers and product engineers, so teams collaborate to ship faster without compromising data quality. Read what our customers say.

We are a team of skilled developers and data scientists, experienced with building successful consumer products and shaping high performing data cultures. We have built thriving data cultures and solved data quality at scale before at QuizUp (100m users, backed by Sequoia and Tencent). We have now built Avo to solve that for the rest of the world.

We are supported by world class investors that we admire, including Y Combinator, GGV and Heavybit. Avo is used by leading product organizations—such as Wolt, Delivery Hero, Doodle, Culture Amp and Fender—and integrates with today’s best data tools—such as Mixpanel, Amplitude, Rudderstack and Segment.
