1. What is a UX/UI Designer at Ancestry?
As a UX/UI Designer at Ancestry, you are stepping into a role that directly impacts how millions of people discover, preserve, and share their unique family stories. You will be a vital part of a human-centered company that manages an unparalleled collection of more than 65 billion records and a growing network of over 27 million DNA customers. Your work will transcend standard interface design; you will be creating intuitive, cohesive, and emotionally resonant experiences that help users uncover deep, meaningful connections to their past and their identities.
This role is heavily focused on the AncestryDNA product area, which is one of the company's most data-rich and strategically significant spaces. You will be challenged to take vast amounts of complex scientific and historical data and translate it into simple, accessible, and engaging mobile and web experiences. The impact of your role is profound—your designs will literally influence how people see themselves and the connections they share with the world around them.
Expect to operate in a highly collaborative, cross-functional environment where curiosity and inclusion are paramount. You will balance creativity with clarity, ensuring that every user journey, from initial DNA results to deep genealogical exploration, feels personal, seamless, and secure. This is a rare opportunity to design for a platform where every user's story matters, and where your craft directly enriches people's lives.
