Job description

Data Visualisation Engineer | JavaScript | TypeScript | 2D Graphics | London

London | to £160,000 | Hybrid Work

Great charts don’t just show data. They tell a story.

Looking to hire a Data Visualisation Engineer to help shape how developers around the world tell visual stories with data.

You’ll join a highly respected, product-led engineering team building a modern, open-source JavaScript charting library used at serious scale, from complex enterprise systems to high-stakes decision-making tools.

Your mission:

• Raise the visual bar.
• Turn data into stories developers are proud to ship.

This sits right at the intersection of data visualisation, design judgement, and engineering craft.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing beautiful, meaningful chart examples that demonstrate how data should feel when it’s well presented
• Elevating the visual quality and storytelling across documentation, demos, and the website
• Defining and championing best-practice visualisation patterns — clarity first, always
• Helping developers understand why a chart works, not just how to configure it
• Contributing to blogs, tutorials, and visual content that teach strong visual thinking
• Optionally contributing to the core charting engine if you enjoy going deeper technically

What we’re looking for

• A strong portfolio that shows visual storytelling, not just charts-for-the-sake-of-it
• Deep understanding of data visualisation principles (hierarchy, scale, colour, perception)
• Excellent visual taste and obsessive attention to detail
• Strong JavaScript and/or TypeScript
• Experience with charting or data visualisation libraries
• The ability to clearly explain visual decisions — to engineers and non-engineers alike

Nice to have

• Experience with Canvas or SVG
• Interest in computer graphics
• Comfort working close to engineers on real production systems

Why people enjoy this team

• You’re not styling dashboards — you’re shaping a foundational visual product
• Your work influences how thousands of developers present data
• High-quality, long-lived codebase with strong engineering values
• Calm, grown-up culture — no heroics, no late nights
• Hybrid working, modern tooling, and real respect for craft

If this role interests you, please apply with your CV and links to your product portfolio. I look forward to speaking with you!
