Job Description And Responsibilities

Do you love visualizing data and rapidly prototyping creative applications?

Do you want to design and engineer accessible data experiences and data visualization components?

Put those skills to work answering strategic questions for one of the world's most respected and innovative payments companies.

Join our fast-paced Data Experience team, within our Design Engineering & Analytics organization, working on our data visualization component library Visa Chart Components (VCC).

Through your work on VCC, you will allow users to gain new insights and tell their own data stories.

In this role, you will get to work with designers, business analysts, and engineers from Global Design and our partner Product teams who leverage VCC within their products.

Incredible volumes of data will be at your fingertips to mold and refine into elegant visualizations utilizing traditional proven graphics (e.
