The Position SeniorUI Designer

Our product makes it easy for people to collaborate on content across all their devices. We need a magical user experience, providing simple, quick and ubiquitous access to people, information and tools. That experience begins in our insightful (naturally) product strategy and guides the development of our platform and API suite. Your job is to help us deliver a beautiful and usable user interface.

Youre a senior web / UI designer who can also code. Youre as adept with HTML5 and CSS3 as you are with typography, layout and colour theory. Youre all about using responsive design and media queries to create adaptable pages that look awesome on all screens. You can work with wireframes, comps, and high-level requirements, and create beautiful, sensible design options that meet the brief. Youre agile, creative, open to ideas and not afraid to speak up with your own.
