Interaction Designer

Overview:
Our Design team is responsible for the visual, interaction, and web design
of ‘our killer application - We give people the freedom to customize their
networks at every turn, making our design challenges unique, interesting,
and complex. From choosing and tweaking themes with a GUI editor to adding
custom CSS to editing the PHP code of our application; our Design team
rapidly iterates a complex set of interfaces based on both qualitative and
quantitative feedback.

Responsibilities:
Build your own designs in production-level, standards-based XHTML and CSS.
Design user interfaces and flows that are intuitive and easy to use.
Work with our team of Product Managers and Engineers to brain- storm ideas.
Take that idea and turn it into a detailed wireframe specification or basic
mockup that can then, if necessary, be refined in collaboration with a
graphic designer.

Qualifications:
Proven experience with designing user interfaces and flows that are
intuitive and easy to use.
Proven experience creating production-quality, standards-based XHTML and
CSS.

Basic Javascript skills also desired.

You can take a wireframe and turn it into production-level XHTML and CSS
that developers can build on, but you can also recognize when more in-depth
graphic design is required that you can’t provide.
You live and die with your tools.

Basic understanding of development processes and tools. In the past, you
have used tools such as version control and you don’t need to be convinced
they’re a necessary evil. Code doesn’t scare you. You can whip up a page in
PHP, Ruby, or Python to show how a flow should work, or you can use basic
Javascript to mockup dynamic behaviors in a page. Curiosity. You’ve already
created a social network and will bring great technical and operations
related questions to the interview process.

people who are passionate about creating beautiful software used by millions
