UxSTATION

UxStation is seeking a brilliant User Experience designer to join our client’s development team. Specialists need not apply: we're looking for someone who has mastered multiple design-related skillsets, from wireframes to visual design to usability tests and HTML and CSS coding. This is a diverse range of skills -- we're looking for someone truly talented who is passionate about great software with A-plus usability and polish. You will be working closely with the leaders of the company to build ambitious functionality that will define Social Search on the web. We have a killer technical team of about 20 people, and we're moving extremely quickly: in the past few months we've launched a new web interface with dozens of new features, an iPhone App, IM and Twitter interfaces, and lots more -- and we only plan on accelerating from here.

Client's company includes founders from more than a half-dozen successful startups, four AI Ph.D.s, and engineers from Silicon Valley's major technology companies. They build products that enable users to tap into the wisdom of their real-world social network. Their first offering takes on the problem of "subjective search" — finding information that is customized and relevant to your personal tastes, needs, and context. They are located in downtown San Francisco. 

Required skills:

- Visual design for the web (for applications, not just brochureware)

- Wireframing and user flow design for web interfaces

Highly preferred:

- Startup Experience

- Experience with usability testing and basic user research

- Front-end coding in HTML and CSS

Pluses:

- Familiarity with Ruby on Rails

- Academic training in design

- Experience designing a successful consumer-facing web product with millions of users
