The Advisory Board Company – Crimson: User Experience Architect for Crimson

May 16, 2013

in HTML, Programming Jobs

(Austin, TX)

UX is strategy not (just) design.

Every business strategy needs to be grounded in careful market analysis. Less research equals more assumptions equals higher risk. Like-wise, application design decisions must be grounded in user analysis. We’re seeking a few more user experience professionals, of all levels, to contribute to our strategy.

What will they do?

They'll carry out evidence-based design research, both before and during product design. Meaning they listen to users and narrow the target audience – defining the problem before trying to solve it. These architects understand the business goals just as deeply as they understand the user's goals. They think about a system, not just the user interface. They use a systematic approach for gathering data and articulating their findings to product stakeholders.

What do we look for in candidates?

People who listen and question. Thinkers that can find the sweet spot between user and buyer needs. Empathetic individuals that use a variety of tools like: user interviews, usability tests, card sorts, mental models, flow diagrams, sketches, wireframes – the list goes on. Extra credit goes to those with true information architecture and interaction design skills.

Be Aware

Along with a resume, successful candidates will submit a portfolio that demonstrates taking a project from requirements to sketches to wireframes. It may include either annotations suitable for implementation, detailed functional specs or interactive prototypes. We’ll also consider equivalent portfolios from another design field, e.g. industrial design or user interface design. 

Basic Requirements
 - At least 2 years serving as a UXD, IxD, IA or equivalent for interactive web applications
 - Expert knowledge of user experience research methodology and techniques
 - Proven skills for planning and conducting elicitation and elaboration sessions, documenting results and making recommendations
 - Capable of translating research into a product vision that balances both business and user needs

Even Better
 - Past experience with enterprise web-apps or health care
 - Comfortable with dynamic constraints, interacting with and handling feedback from non-designer stakeholders
 - Ability to communicate your process as well as define and measure success metrics
 - Experience managing small teams
 - Extensive knowledge of UI patterns and interactive design principles
 - Can balance your process in a lean/agile environment
 - Produces results independently as well as collaboratively - Understands the limits and capabilities of web technologies

Resized_logo

Location: Chicago, IL
URL: http://www.babylontechnology.com

Who are we?
Babylon Technology is currently me, a handful of freelancers, and more work on more interesting development projects than we can handle. I’m looking for employee #2 (and likely #3). 


What do we work on?
We have web applications in all sorts of industries: ticket scanning/purchasing, social gambling, dog walking, CRM, inventory scanning, and invoicing/time tracking, to name a few. Most projects also include mobile apps and lots of e-commerce. 

We have a healthy mix of client work and "Babylon-owned" products.


Who am I looking for?
You have to know PHP (Codeigniter a must, Laravel a plus) and MySQL. Front end skills, too: Javascript, HTML, CSS.

You’re motivated, talented, experienced, have good design instincts (or better yet, skills!), and maybe you’re someone who wants to grow into managing freelancers, building client relationships, or helping to grow a startup development business.

You’ll have to work full time, but hours could be flexible.

SecureZone, LLC: Ruby/UI Developer (contract)

May 13, 2013

in Ajax, Programming Jobs

Location: Anywhere

NOTE:  The job requirements have changed slightly since we first posted this position with a shift toward more back-end Ruby and MongoId development.

SecureZone is looking for an expert UI developer (contract) with expertise in Ruby and MongoDB as well as jQuery/Javascript/etc.  You would be working on the full stack, integrating with the jQuery and javascript created by our UI developer on the front end and MongoDB/MongoId on the back-end.  The problem domain can be a bit intricate and complex at times so ingenuity and fresh ideas are always in demand.

We are building an environment for paranoid control freaks to collaborate on projects and documents.  The security model is non-trivial and we're looking to push the boundaries of what's expected from a web application.  We need someone who can pick up complex concepts and interactions quickly, understand them deeply enough that they can help to figure out how to distill the user interactions to be as simple and intuitive as possible, and then just make it work.  

Applicants are required to be expert in Ruby, jQuery, and AJAX in a Ruby server environment.  MongoId/MongoDB expertise is also a big plus.  Our system in fact runs in JRuby on a Java server so expertise in those areas are a bonus.

We're a distributed team with developers in New York, Philadelphia, and Portland so telecommuting is an option but be aware that our work day operates on East Coast time.

Finally, this is a 40 hour/week contract position that should last a number of months.

We are looking for a full-time Interaction Designer with a portfolio that combines strong interaction and interface design skills.  You’re comfortable putting together an interactive HTML prototype, but can also simply sketch your ideas for flows and layouts on a whiteboard, or whip up a UI element in Photoshop.  Your work should demonstrate your understanding of what makes an engaging, user-friendly product with simple interactions and on-brand messages.

This is an amazing opportunity to learn  and make a difference by helping a fast-growing community of entrepreneurs exchange advice.  This project is run like a startup, with the reach of a Fortune 100 company.  It’s a truly unique opportunity, but we will tell you more when we meet you.

    • Design user-centric documentation including sitemaps, user flows, wireframes. Ability to develop functional prototypes is a big plus (HTML, CSS, jQuery, Bootstrap, ...)
    • Create documentation about the product for Design and Development Teams and ensure the team understands all use cases and scenarios to design and develop against.
    • Support the Design team to ensure that Kettle's quality level and philosophy is present in ALL deliverables (from concepts to final builds).  You will be teamed up with UI designers that will help you bring your ideas to a pixel-perfect state, but you should be proficient in Photoshop.
    • Present your work internally and to clients; clearly articulate and defend design decisions.
    • Stay on top of best-in-class interactive design and technologies.

A few things we are looking for in the right candidate:

  • Passion for solving complex design problems elegantly.
  • Rely on existing usability standards and web technologies.
  • Ability to rapidly mock up different sketches for a layout and discuss them intelligently.
  • Proficient at a standard wireframing application (ideally OmniGraffle).
  • An understanding of Lean UX methodology (sprints, epics, prototyping, test and learn, ...)
  • Well organized, meticulous, and a problem solver.
  • Ability to manage multiple briefs simultaneously.
  • Thrive in a collaborative team environment 
  • Have strong interpersonal, collaboration, and communication skills, both verbal and written.
