You should have a strong understanding of responsive design, feature hierarchy, and care deeply about the end-user experience.

• Iterate on existing designs to consistently improve the user experiences and prioritize features
• Work closely with Product Managers and Engineers on the Internal Tools team to launch features which impact the team’s KPIs
• Execute in a fast-paced and fluid startup environment

ABOUT YOU:

• You understand best practices for product design on web, and have experience working within responsive grid structures
• You have experience working closely and collaboratively with front-end web developers
• You have learned by experience that no design survives user testing untouched, and you thrive in iterating from user feedback
• You understand the platform and aggressively stay on top of the latest web standards
• You love working in teams and work great under pressure to ship products that you are proud of

REQUIREMENTS:

• 4+ years of experience designing and shipping web-based products and tools (we are willing to accommodate a wide range of experience levels.)
• Strong portfolio demonstrating visual and user experience design in similar products
• Ability to clearly articulate your reasoning behind design decisions and translate product requirements into easy to use features 
• Experience working closely with engineers, including communication, understanding platform limitations, and asset production
• Ability to empathize with a wide range of users, often different from yourself, to understand what they need..

BONUS:

• Front-end development experience with HTML/CSS/Javascript
