Job Summary

We are looking for an unusual skillset - the vision of an artist with the precision of an engineer - to lead the design of our user’s application experience. Candidates must have deep technical knowledge coupled with familiarity with UX principals and a passion to make the experience special.

Benefits

The company is proud to offer a comprehensive, competitive benefits package that provides health and financial support to our most important resources: our employees. Your benefits are an important part of your overall compensation at the company. That’s why we give you a wide range of benefits to choose from.

• Medical, Dental, Vision
  • low-cost premiums even for family coverage
• Company-paid life/AD&D insurance
• Company-paid short-term disability
• Paid sick/vacation/holiday
• 401k/Company Funded Pension Program (program is dependent upon location and job type)

• Additional voluntary benefits

Responsibilities

Baseline Expectations:

• Strong experience in SASS, TypeScript, and (preferably) Angular. Experience with Photoshop, SVG, HTML 5 canvas, animation, and/or web3d is even better
• A belief making our interfaces accessible to users of all abilities and cultures. This includes familiarity with standards such as WCAG , Section 508, and EN 301 549, and globalization practices
• Be conversant on cross-browser support issues and quirks
• Experience conducting UX research sessions to gather usability feedback
• You abandoned jQuery a long time ago, if you ever used it, and you are disappointed by anyone who prefers JavaScript over TypeScript

How to get this job:
You are passionate about simplifying the user experience with intuitive interactions. You can show us controls — that you created — with unique interactions that optimize the workflow for your target persona. We are looking for someone who can build genuine controls, not simply add CSS changes here and there.
You try to add some beauty or artistry to your sites without simply filling the page with unnecessary whitespace. (For extra credit, we would love to see, say, a retro, steampunk, zen, Victorian, art deco, modernist, etc. themed website).
You can describe all the ways you have used requestAnimationFrame callbacks.You know how to use theming, including supporting dark mode, customizing colors for multiple tenants, and adopting system themes in your custom controls.
You exude a passion for creating great experiences for all types of users. You can describe how you approach managing complexity for power users and guiding the experience of new users.
In short, we want you to be steeped technical minutia but able to render a coherent whole that is beautiful, not just aesthetically, but as a consumable control/page/design system.
