Digital Product Designer

“Everything should be made as simple as possible… but not simpler.” – Albert Einstein

There are 2 types of people in this world.

  1. Good citizens: People that follow rules, routines and regulations.
  2. Rebels: People who break the rules, challenge the impossible and live to the beat of their own drum.

Can you guess which type of person we are looking for?

We’re looking for someone who has trouble understanding the limitations of most things and commonly leaves critics speechless with their solutions. We’re not looking for a web designer – instead, we are looking for a designer of the web.

At digital-telepathy, we’re dead set on making the design of the web better. You’ll be working with our Products team to create new digital tools that directly impact the fabric of the web – because, really, if you don’t intend to leave a mark, what’s the point?

  • You are a great conversationalist, not just at work but with friends and strangers

  • You are passionate about creating great experiences for other people
  • The last time you were bored, you didn’t yet have a drivers license
  • You work and play well with others, but have the initiative to lone wolf it every once in a while

  • Most important, you are a person that knows you can work anywhere, but chooses to work with us.

Our Requirements

  • You have a solid understanding of product design, user engagement and marketing strategy
  • You have significant experience creating effective UX/UI designs across a broad variety of goal-driven environments (i.e. mobile applications, e-commerce, web applications, complex dashboards, data visualization systems, etc)

  • Your design is well thought out, purposeful and has intent
  • You have the ability to show other designers how to carry your vision in a project
  • Bonus points if you’re familiar with multiple web analytics packages and have some experience with conversion rate optimization

How to Get This Job

You’ll need to provide us a few things:

  • The ability to read and follow these guidelines carefully. (Easy so far, right?)
  • A unique cover letter that explains why you would be perfect for this position. We can smell form letters from a mile away, so show us you really want this
  • Your resume emphasizing any pertinent experience you have
  • A detailed definition of what you think “user experience strategy” means, as it relates to a design project
  • The URL to your portfolio site, including live links to current examples of your design in use
  • A detailed answer to this question: What is more important, the desires of the client or the needs of the user, and why?

We work hard and have fun doing it!  No complaining or bad attitudes are allowed.
