Do you want to change the world by making learning fun for students and empowering teachers around the world?
Are you fanatical about delivering world-class user experiences?
Would you like to join a small team where you’ll be the lead interface and user experience designer, working with two talented and experienced Rails developers and a customer-focused CEO?
You…
-Think in terms of tasks and users when designing applications
-Possess solid CSS skills and the ability to produce interfaces that are fast and work consistently across browsers
-Have a portfolio online of web *apps* that you’ve developed
-Aren’t scared off by code or the occasional controller
-Prefer to design in HTML rather than Photoshop (though you’re comfortable with Photoshop and Illustrator)
-Have experience using web analytics software to gather data that improves the user experience
-Are passionate about shipping products that delight customers and enjoy watching people use your product and learning from the experience (even when it’s painful)
-Live in the Bay Area or are willing to relocate
Oh, and you’re looking forward to having a massive impact on the direction of the product and the look and feel of the site.
Us…
-A small team of experienced professionals focused on doing one thing: Revolutionizing Education
-Recently funded by a top tier VC (take that economy!)
-Employ the “Getting Real” philosophy and engage in test-driven development and paired programming
-Looking to hire a lead UI/UX designer who can work closely with our CEO and two developers to continue to build a simple product that our passionate community can use to teach and learn
-Results-driven, we move fast and we don’t waste time with pointless meetings
Last but not least we have fun, love flexibility and enjoy working on a revenue-generating product that already has a lot of raving fans (check out http://edufire.com/forums and see what people are saying about us in real-time).
