Are you passionate about designing products that offer people amazing, transformative, cross-channel experiences? Are you looking for an opportunity to guide the design of a hot product? If so, this is the job for you! Come join an enthusiastic, high-performance, cross-disciplinary team and shape the direction of a startup as it blooms into a successful business

Responsibilities

• Lead a critical differentiator for our company
• Oversee branding, website design and visual communication
• Perform wants/needs analyses with current beta customers
• Collaborate on defining user stories, work out difficult flows, and account for edge cases
• Sketch, mock up, and prototype features of our applications and platforms
• Provide the UX and design expertise for intellectual property, such as our gesture-to-mouse map

Skills

• Strong design skills (duh!)
• A keen eye for the subtle details that can make or break a great design
• Plays well with others
• Can rapidly sketch ideas in various media — in words, through graphics, on a whiteboard, or programmatically
• Takes a user-centered (and data-informed) approach to design, understanding the customer's wants and needs and delighting them with unexpected, almost magical solutions
• Can reframe, enlarge, or focus a problem to derive non-obvious solutions
• Strong proficiency with Photoshop and Illustrator or a good reason why not
• Comfortable prototyping multiple varying interaction ideas
• Skilled at visually expressing hierarchy, groupings, and workflows for applications
• Able to do generative, creative work in an agile development environment
• Designs for consistency but not at the expense of creativity
• Has empathy and understanding regarding user motivations in both consumer and enterprise contexts
• Speaks 18 languages and is able to fly
• No, seriously, we realize that probably nobody is great at all the things listed above. We’ll need you to help us grow a design team, culture, and practice made of people with complementary and overlapping skills to meet all of the needs we just listed (and probably some more that haven't occur to us yet). But we will need you to be good at a whole bunch of them (this is a startup, after all — no prima donnas), and able to speak intelligently about the rest.

Experience:

• Deep experience in the UX design of digital products (aka product design)
• Cross-platform design experience
• Experience with mobile native applications
• Familiarity with iPad, iPhone, Android design guidelines
• Directly experienced with obtaining consumer feedback, versed in the benefits/limitations of various methods, and has acted thoughtfully to improve a product based on said feedback
• Directly experienced with using analytics to guide product design
• Special consideration if you have designed and shipped a breakthrough product to the market

Education:

•  Studio design training or equivalent work experience
• A bachelor's degree or better in a field that teaches you how to learn, reason, communicate, and deliver
• A portfolio that illustrates your approach to problem solving and the results you've achieved
