About SLB

SLB is a global technology company driving innovation in the energy industry. We combine science, engineering, data, and digital technology to address complex technical and operational challenges.

Our digital products support sophisticated, high-impact work across the energy ecosystem. Designers collaborate with software engineers, scientists, domain experts, and product leaders to make complex systems understandable, efficient, and dependable.

About the role

We are looking for an analytical, systems-oriented product designer who enjoys solving complex technical problems.

You will take ownership of the experience for significant product areas, working alongside another product designer and a cross-functional team of product managers, engineers, and domain experts. You will also collaborate with designers across SLB when work connects with other products, platforms, or shared experiences.

You will simplify intricate workflows, organize complex information, and create coherent experiences across enterprise applications and connected digital ecosystems.

This role is about more than creating polished interfaces. It requires understanding users, systems, data, technology, and business needs-and balancing them to make sound product decisions.

We value the quality of your thinking, judgment, collaboration, and work-not simply the number of years you have spent in the industry.

What you'll do

- Lead experience design for significant product areas, from understanding the problem through delivery and continued improvement.

- Shape new experiences and evolve established products while navigating legacy systems, technical constraints, and existing user expectations.

- Understand complex workflows, user roles, permissions, data relationships, and cross-product dependencies.

- Translate user, business, stakeholder, and technical needs into clear experience models and workflows.

- Create information architectures, wireframes, prototypes, interaction designs, and detailed interface specifications.

- Plan and conduct appropriate user research and usability testing, translating findings into actionable improvements.

- Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, domain experts, and other designers.

- Use and contribute to design systems to create consistent, accessible, and scalable experiences.

- Communicate design reasoning clearly and explain decisions and trade-offs using evidence.

- Facilitate conversations that align multidisciplinary teams around user needs and experience outcomes.

- Track usability issues and improve products using research, feedback, product data, and technical insights.

- Contribute to the practices, quality, and culture of the wider design community at SLB.

How we work

We value rigorous design thinking combined with practical judgment. Enterprise product development often involves ambiguity, competing priorities, mature platforms, technical constraints, and varying levels of access to users.

Our designers identify the activities that will have the greatest impact, advocate for what is essential, and adapt their approach to keep teams learning and moving forward. They know when to challenge constraints, when to work within them, and how to maintain a clear experience vision throughout delivery.

We expect designers to be curious, open, motivated, and collaborative. They invite feedback, respond to critique constructively, and remain accountable for their decisions. They can lead independently without working in isolation.

What we're looking for

- Approximately 6+ years of product or UX design experience, with evidence of sound judgment and independent ownership.

- Experience designing complex B2B, enterprise, technical, scientific, industrial, or workflow-intensive applications.

- Strong systems thinking, including the ability to identify relationships, dependencies, patterns, and downstream consequences.

- Strong analytical problem-solving skills and comfort working with ambiguity and incomplete information.

- Deep knowledge of interaction design, information architecture, user research, usability, prototyping, and human-centred design.

- Ability to determine which design activities are needed based on the problem, available evidence, risks, and delivery constraints.

- Ability to understand technical concepts and collaborate effectively with engineers and subject-matter experts.

- Strong visual and interface design skills supported by clear product and interaction-design reasoning.

- Strong communication, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills.

- Ability to work with a high degree of autonomy while collaborating closely with another designer and the wider product team.

- A curious, motivated, and receptive approach to giving and receiving feedback.

Education

- Formal education in interaction design, product design, HCI, or a closely related discipline is strongly preferred.

- A combination of technical or engineering education and postgraduate design education-such as a BTech or BE followed by an MDes-is particularly valued.

Portfolio expectations

We are interested in more than polished final interfaces. Your portfolio should help us understand:

- The complexity of the problems you addressed.

- How you investigated and structured those problems.

- Your individual contribution and the decisions you owned.

- How research, analysis, and systems thinking informed your work.

- How you collaborated with product, engineering, and other stakeholders.

- The constraints and trade-offs you navigated.

- The effect your work had on users, products, or business outcomes.

Why design at SLB?

- Work on technically sophisticated problems at significant scale.
