User Interface Designer ? Automattic

User Interface Designer

The secret to our sauce? Combining high technology with great design. As a user interface designer at Automattic, you’re responsible for making sure the amazing things our engineers can build are easy to use and beautiful to behold. You’ll develop your original ideas from half-formed thoughts to wireframes, mockups, and front-end code.

Requirements

  • You can act as the creative force in a small interdisciplinary team, responsible not just for what a product looks like but for how it works.
  • You’ve got experience designing web apps. Your work shows an uncluttered, focused approach to user interface design.
  • You employ a refined, modern, clean visual aesthetic throughout all your work.
  • You’re passionate about good typography, and love applying those principles to the web.
  • You understand the mechanics of user testing and A/B testing, and the importance of a data-informed (not data-driven) design philosophy.
  • You are skilled at giving and receiving design criticism and appreciate its importance in the creative process.
  • You can write your own front-end code (HTML, CSS, maybe JavaScript) and your knowledge of web standards is ever-growing. Your most recent work is both responsive and HiDPI-ready.
  • You have a portfolio that reflects all of the above.
