THIS JOB HAS EXPIRED
Do you cringe at poorly designed software and websites? Do you find yourself yawning at interactions that take an unnecessary number of mouse clicks? Have you ever bored friends with prolonged tangents on ?ill-conceived/implemented user interactions? or ?the marriage of form and function?? Well, you just might have a home at Spiceworks!Called the ?Facebook of IT,? Spiceworks innovative model combines a network management app with an online community of over 1.7 million IT pros who rely on Spiceworks to carry out their day-to-day IT responsibilities and to connect with each other to exchange tips, IT advice?even jokes! We?re blazing? trails and changing the way today?s tech products are managed, marketed, and sold. And, given we?re growing by 2,000 new users a day, it?s no surprise we?ve been named ?fastest growing business app in history!?
Spiceworks is looking for a UX designer that?s as fanatical about compelling design as they are about seamless interaction. Equal parts artist and tactician, this individual will approach every new design challenge like both a chess board and a blank canvas ? carefully weighing every move a user might make while designing an experience that?s as aesthetically compelling as it is sublimely simplistic. We?re looking for someone who appreciates the details in light of a broader vision, scrutinizing each pixel of the big picture. The ideal candidate will slip comfortably into the shoes of the end user, constantly asking themselves questions like ?How did I get to this page??, ?Where do my eyes go??, and ?Is there any way to make this interaction even more seamless??
Responsibilities: What will I do?
? Mockup and present UX flows
? Review and re-envision existing user interactions
? Work with developers on implementation of new interactions
? Talk with users about interactions and overall experience
? Manage multiple projects simultaneously
Qualifications: What does it take to do this job?
? High level of skill and comfort with design software (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.)
? Ability to translate business and communications objectives into visual mediums
? Instinctive sense of aesthetics and design
? Comfort in designing for multiple platforms (web design, application design, etc.)
? Ability to consider technological limitations in design
? Agility. You can think on your feet and adapt well to a quickly changing environment
? Excellent communication skills across a wide spectrum of personalities
? Keen ability to consider and incorporate feedback
? Experience in IT a big plus
? Experience in HTML a big plus
