At Fog Creek Software, we love great design and know how
important it is. But to be honest, our company was founded by developers, not
designers. We need your help!
To put it simply,
although we've built a great engine ? think Porsche Turbo 911 ? it's in the
body of VW. You're going to change all that.
This is not just a job; it's a mission. It is an opportunity
to visually redesign our best-selling, award winning software that has just
celebrated a decade of success. Your creations will be seen by over 15,000
companies, in more than 120 countries, with over 150,000 users. You will work
on all parts of our product portfolio, improving, revamping, redecorating, and
redesigning. That includes three major products currently under active
development and a bunch of websites that support them.
The Basics
You have incredible design talent. Your friends and
coworkers describe you as a genius. Your design ability is way above average,
as demonstrated by a continuous string of successful projects. For a minimum of
3 years, you've been professionally involved with:
- Web design projects from inceptions to roll-out
- User Experience design
- Graphic design
- Navigation and information architecture
- Design for usability
- Print design - brochures,logos,stationary,the occasional book
Requirements
- Solid technical skills. You know HTML and CSS inside out. You have a set of tools that you love to use when designing, like Photoshop, or paper and a Staedtler Mars Technico 780 C mechanical pencil with a pushbutton spring clutch.
- A fantastic portfolio of projects that you've worked on from mock-ups to completion
- A track record of great teamwork ? although you have the ability to work independently and drive projects to completion
- Excellent command of written and spoken English
- Permanent legal right to work in the US
You'll be working with a great team of extremely smart
developers who care deeply about good design and are willing to invest in it,
and a management team that will give you all the support you need.
