(Boulder, CO)

     Do you make things that are as elegant and efficient as they are beautiful? Do you look at your banks ATM screen and think about ways to make it better? Do you get excited about working with a multi-disciplinary design team that draws on 50 foot whiteboards? Want an opportunity to work with clients on every continent (well, except Antarctica)? Then we should talk.

Markit on Demand in Boulder Colorado is looking for designers to join our expanding team. Interaction and Information design is the realm we work in every day - web, app, mobile and print are all our methods of delivery.

What do we do?

Our work must be beautiful, usable, and tell a story. We love digging into complex and messy problems because that's our opportunity to tease a little order out of the chaos. We work with other designers, developers, financial analysts, and our clients to set new standards for information design. This work is widely used, billions of views each day (that’s billion, with a ‘b’), so what you do here matters.

Exciting, right?

We have a team of over 30 designers, and as business continues to grow, so do we. We're looking for people who can create compelling experiences, who live and die by the grid, and who can see a story in a thousand data points. The skills we employ include everything from user research, information architecture and wireframes to pixel-perfect interactive comps. We hope Adobe Creative Suite is an extension of your hands, you know enough CSS to be dangerous and maybe even play around in Processing from time to time.

Still interested?

 We're looking for designers with good work, from those just starting out, to those who've been at it for years. Either way we'll give you opportunities to grow and be part of a team that creates amazing work. Whether you're a visual design master, or a user experience specialist, you should be able to explain your work with both confidence and humility. In our culture, every single one of us is both an eager student and a patient teacher. This might be your kind of place if you... • think design lies in the intentionally imperfect union of form and function. • can tell us a story through numbers alone. Or chopsticks for that matter. • discovered Tufte and realized you weren't alone in your obsession.

Oh, and us?

How nice of you to ask. We... • don't love cubicles. Or barriers of any kind really. • blush when clients call us data geeks, or tell us we're detail obsessed. • are equally fascinated by Radiolab and Planet Money. On top of the good stuff like competitive salaries, health insurance, and 401k, there's… • getting paid to bike, bus or carpool. • unlimited chocolate. • time to work on what you want (like that crazy idea you have been dreaming about for months).

Job Perks: Medica, Dental, Vision, 401K with matching, great paid time off, holidays, FSA, , Short and Long Term disability, casual work evironement, free soda, snacks, beautiful view of the Flatirons.

We primarily work on high value, fearless projects and design is often an important part of our work (see americancensorship.org, sopastrike.com, freebieber.org, and fightforthefuture.org/pipa, getyourcensoron.com).

We are currently hiring for a full-time User Experience designer to join our organization and development process. We're looking for a generalist with very sharp skills in visual design and user experience and can move skillfully from wireframes to visual design to usability tests and ideally, HTML and CSS coding. We hope to work with a designer who is agile, has a diverse range of skills, and is a master at pulling together the perfect design for each of our project -- we're looking for someone truly talented who is passionate about great user interfaces with A-plus usability and polish.

You will be working closely with the leaders of the organization, and if you're a thinker and strategist you can play an important role in defining our work.

We need someone who can:

* Understand the goals of a project holistically and manage discrete tasks

* Make sane, classy design decisions on the fly

* Visual design for the web (for applications and websites, not just brochureware)

* Typography and app icons

* Optimize UI and UX for the goal at hand, sometimes quickly and using software like Optimizely

This would be a great job for somebody who can tackle a heterogeneous mix of projects and enjoys the variety, and for any front-end dev who wants to use their skills to make millions of people happy by standing up for what’s right.

All of the work you do will have a direct impact on making the world better:

* Your UX work will help people band together to exert their power

* Your speed making XHTML/CSS will mean rapid responses whenever the other side stumbles, or overreaches

You’ll go home satisfied :)

LOCATION

The team will be 100% remote-—no need to commute or relocate.

COMPENSATION

Competitive, market rate, commensurate w/ experience. Benefits.

If you’re interested, send links to work you’ve done to tycheng@gmail.com. Include as much relevant information as possible: significant things you’ve done, projects you’ve worked on.

Your mission: Define the future of the art experience.

For the first time in history, a large (and ever growing) percentage of the world’s greatest contemporary art will be freely and legally available to the public through a single platform—and all in high resolution format.

But how will the world experience and interact with this content in the future? We are looking for someone to answer that question with beautifully designed products and services that span multiple digital mediums such as web, mobile, and touch.

At Art.sy's core is the Art Genome Project, which uses artificial intelligence to create connections between works of art and help people discover new works and learn about art history. We are backed by Peter Thiel, Jack Dorsey, Eric Schmidt, Chris Dixon, Wendi Murdoch, Dasha Zhukova, and Thrive Capital.

We are looking for someone with the following qualities to join our team:

Required

• Strong interaction and product design skills
• A Human-Centered Design approach
• Humility, maturity, lack of ego, being a joy to work with
• Excellent visual design sensibility

Nice to have

• Contemporary art world knowledge
• Front-end coding experience

Why consider Art.sy?

• You will be our second designer, joining our Head of Design (who previously worked at IDEO, and whose past work includes The Future of the Book). At this early stage you will play a central role in defining our culture, platform, and its impact on the world.
• You will work with a world-class engineering team. See our open-source contributions here. 
• You will be expected to take ownership over large areas of our product and service offerings. 
• There are no set hours or holidays, no pointless bureaucracy. Work whenever you want, wherever you want.
• You will learn new things every day: from artificial intelligence to modern and contemporary art history.
• Our downtown Manhattan office has stunning 360 degree views of New York. You can see the horizon in all 4 directions, the iconic midtown and downtown skylines, the Hudson and East rivers.

Your Challenge

• Your designs must harness complex technology (high dimensional search, visual search, semantic search—to name just a few) within simple, intuitive, and beautiful interfaces. 
• You will face questions such as: How do we show connections between artworks to help people discover art they love? How can we educate users with different levels of art knowledge? How can we enhance the way people experience art in physical space through digital tools?

The Opportunity

• The art market is the last major industry yet to be disrupted by technology.
• We have partnered with over 250 of the largest galleries in the world and several major art museums.
• We envision a world where passion for art is just as common as it is for music today.

If you want to help us make that vision a reality, we would love to talk.

Job Perks: Employment includes full benefits, health insurance, top-of-market cash and equity compensation, Visa sponsorship, relocation, exciting travel opportunities (in the past we've flown the team to major art fairs in Basel, Switzerland and Miami).

We’re looking to hire a second UI designer to join our development team at EveryBlock.

We value design highly and try to ensure everything we create is beautiful and usable. This is your chance to have a hand in all aspects of our company, from our Web site to our e-mail alerts to our mobile applications to physical marketing materials.

Beyond straight design work, you’ll have a hand in mapping out product strategy. Your contributions will be varied, your work will be interesting, and you’ll have an immediate, direct impact on the awesomeness of our service.

We like to hire polymaths. You should be as comfortable designing mockups in Photoshop as you are getting dirty in HTML and CSS. You should care deeply about design, but you should also know how to write (simple) code, as in JavaScript or Python. You should sweat details. You should be inquisitive and a quick learner. You should be ready to come to the table with ideas, and you should be willing to be wrong.

Your job responsibilities will span this list (not necessarily in order):

• Web app design
• HTML
• LESS CSS framework
• Django templates
• Chalkboard sketches
• Post-it notes
• Wireframing

• Copywriting
• User testing
• jQuery

You will work very closely with the other designer and four developers. We have a low-stress environment and a culture of getting things done with as little corporate BS as possible. We have a ping pong table. We play a lot of Resistance.

You should have 4+ years experience in web design, with experience building apps from soup to launch.

Though we’re technically no longer an independent startup — we were acquired by msnbc.com in 2009 — we’re culturally very much still a startup, given that our product is still in early stages and we’re still figuring things out. It’s a very nice combination of startup culture with the financial security of working for a big company. (We have great benefits — salary, health care, 401(k), etc.) And msnbc.com is taking the long-view on us, investing in us over time and giving us years to develop a large audience and become profitable. It’s a great company to work for and now is a fantastic time to be joining our team.

You’ll need to live in the Chicago area for this position. Our office is in a comfortable loft space on the north side of Chicago, near a bunch of other startups. Several of us walk or bike to work. We’re also equidistant from the Montrose and Irving Park el stations on the Brown Line, along with several bus lines.

Job Perks: Microsoft benefits. Highly flexible schedule. Ping pong table.

Senior User Experience (UX) Engineer

Saxton Horne, a part of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies, is a fast-growing agency located in Sandy, Utah. We've built strong Web (small to medium business focused) and App (Ruby web apps and Mobile) teams focused on solving real digital problems that our internal established businesses face as well as branching out to external clients that align with our strengths. This opportunity is a full-time leadership position in a well-established company for someone looking to take that next step-up in their career, likely transitioning out of a similar agency situation.

Working on the Digital team, you'll bring a strong focus on frontend engineering to both Web and App teams while also cross-functionally working with our traditional designers to educate and train them in the mysteries of the coding arts involving HTML5, CSS3, basic JavaScript (and your favorite frameworks). You must love keeping up-to-date with the latest tech, have enough technical prowess to being actively practicing compiled CSS techniques and dabbling in dynamic programming languages like PHP, and Ruby (at least a working knowledge).

Pay is commensurate with experience. Perks are a combination of LHM-goodness, big corporate benefits, your choice of workstation, and as much freedom as you can handle while getting your job done.

Requirements:

 - A personal website with up-to-date work samples that you are proud of showing to the world. If you don't have one, don't bother applying. There just isn't any other better example of your internal drive than this.

 - Examples of your workflow. Be able to show deliverables demonstrating what have you done to systematize your creation process, working with teammates, and meaningful involvement with client stakeholders.

 - A one-page resume. Concise, well-written and designed - Simple is fine. We don't care where you went to high school, show work experience.

Nice-to-haves:

- A degree. Computer Science, Communications, Art/Design. This piece of paper acknowledges your ability to "play the game" and finish. Ideally you've had a mentoring experience that taught you to value the good parts of formal education.

- Be willing to share about an interesting external hobby that is non-web engineering oriented that you do in your spare time. You know, for fun. Work is work, and if you don't have something else balancing you out in life than staring at a screen all day there might be deeper issues in your life that have consequences that nobody else wants to deal with, including us.

- Be willing to share your scheme to take-over the world, aka, an entrepreneurial concept that you are pursuing because you just can't seem to not think about things like that.

Newsbound is seeking an experienced Graphic Designer to work full-time on an innovative, angel-funded news product being developed in San Francisco.

With an emphasis on backstory and explanation, Newsbound is breaking away from the breaking news system. We're working to engage users who are motivated to learn about a particular news story, but feel overwhelmed by the pace and fluency of the 24-hour news system. Our mission is to expand the audience for substantive news and, in doing so, expand the broader conversation around these topics.

Central to the Newsbound vision is a belief that creative visual media helps lower the barriers-to-entry when it comes to complex stories. As our graphic designer, your primary responsibility will be to establish a visual identity for Newsbound's unique content and to generate assets on a daily basis (with an eye towards creating a reusable graphic library).

There is ample room to experiment and iterate. This is not your average newsroom.

You should have an eye for great typography and a passion for iconography and illustration. We expect you to have a degree in Graphic Design or commensurate experience. Knowledge of all things Adobe CS is a must. Experience storyboarding and working with After Effects is not required, but is a major plus.

Looking for an interaction designer (IXD) to help design a web based Software as a Service solution and corporate brochure website. Ideally, you would also code the front end as well, but I'm open to having someone else do this too.

This will begin as contract work, but should morph into a full-time salaried position once we raise money from our angel investors this summer (who have invested with me before and seen my Netflix-like start up make excellent money ... so they are already interseted in investing in this new startup).

If you are interested, email me a link to your portfolio of work.  If I like it, I'll send you our NDA.  Once its signed, I'll share the details with you. Trust me, you'll be excited about what we're doing ... I am in a unique position to build the "Omniture" for a totally untapped space (not web analytics). 

I'm only interested in those willing to work for equity at first - and you have to be able to spend at least 20 hrs/week for the initial 6 weeks (less after that until we raise $ and start paying you). 

For the right person, I'll make you a co-founder with me & the back-end developer.  Together, the 3 of us will own 100% of the company.  Within a few months, we will have a product and customers so we will not get diluted as much when we take on angel investment at that point.  Then, you will be paid cash for your ongoing work ... and there will be plenty of it.

see www.linkedin.com/in/chadfullmer for highlights of my professional background.

I'm in the Salt Lake City area, so it would be great if you were in this area, but this job can be done from anywhere.

Our web site, BroadcastBank.com is in desperate need of a redesign (i.e. trash it and start fresh).  Yep, it looks crappy.  We launched it with these placeholder graphics and now it needs to be "blown up" and replaced with something much better (as it turns out, programmers make unusually bad interface designers--which we knew going in, but hey, we bootstrapped).  

Maybe you can help us?   We're looking for someone who can do the graphic design and then create css/html for us to tie in with our back-end.  Ideally, someone who cares equally about both design and usability. While we would love the redesign done yesterday, we are really intent on getting a new outstanding design, so we can be patient and wait for the right person to finish up with their current project.   With the right person, this can turn into (if you want it to) ongoing freelance work, as we are adding new functionality every 3 weeks or so. 

I'm hoping this can become a project that you can one day proudly point to and say, "bitch, please, I designed BroadcastBank."

Please respond with:

1. Web samples of your recent or favorite work where you did the user interface design/graphics+css/html. 

2. Your availability

After we look at your work, we will contact you so we can talk about terms.   

Thank you,

You will be working with a small product team (3 people), reporting to the VP of Product, so you have a chance to make a big impact. Our design process is highly collaborative and iterative. We start in the studio with members from each team working on white board and paper to produce sketches & flowcharts. Then we move to prototypes in HTML or hi-fidelity wireframes. We believe in working with the medium as much as possible before moving into Photoshop to polish a working design.

We're located on the island of Manhattan which we think beats any perk offered in the valley. Our office is totally sweet with huge windows and a tornado foosball table. The team is a small group of startup veterans who've traded in the razor scooters and beer pong to focus on building totally awesome stuff. We treat people like adults so there's no dress code or time clock.

What is Cinchcast?

Cinchcast is the most powerful audio publishing system on the web: record anywhere and publish everywhere. We have a suite of apps that enable you to record audio directly from your phone, the web, or our mobile apps and easily publish it to your website, facebook page, twitter stream or blog. Thousands of people and small businesses use our products every day for applications in journalism, education, conferencing and media publishing.

Cinchcast recently completed a $6M round of funding, so we're well-financed and ready to tackle the future. You can read more about the funding round here:

ZenCash is a web app that helps people who send out invoices get paid. It hooks into the user’s invoicing application and is able to tell when invoices are in particular “states”. Then, based on those states, it can send out various communications that the ZenCash user is able to customize. It can mail a physical invoice, send a payment reminder, send a thank you note when the invoice is paid, and even trigger a collections process when the invoice is way overdue. Pretty cool, huh?

Here is what we need….

• Navigator of Forest & Trees. Someone who can steer a web application at the highest level and obsess at the pixel level.
• Passion for form + function. Someone who cares as much about how it works as how it looks. Maybe more.
• User advocate. They depend on you to make this product work for them, and speak for their wants & needs. Be strong.
• Writer. Copy is part of the UI, and you’ll write it. Also, your team is co-located so you’ll have to make sure those emails are clear as a bell.
• Organized. The ability to organize high-level thoughts, be it wireframes, sketches or whatever is essential. If you have ideas, you must be able to explain them visually.
• Interaction design. There is a conversation that happens between a user and the app. It’s your job to make sure that experience is clear and free of unwanted surprises.
• Master craftsman. Straight up, you gotta have a strong understanding of front end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). You don’t have to write them, but you should be familiar with how they work.
• Artist. You can craft a beautiful UI. We all love nice things. Make this app look like Charlize Theron.

Does this fit? Want to play a role and have a stake in something big? Email me why you think you should be considered – bc at zencash dot com. Or Skype me at bc6958368. Please include: a) something about you, b) specifically how you meet the needs articulated above, and c) why you think ZenCash is interesting.

What do we have to offer?

Experienced team of passionate entrepreneurs. A team that is passionate about building something truly great. A vision for impacting small businesses and freelancers around the world. A solid business model (no “we’ll figure that out later”). We believe our product is our #1 salesperson. Flexible work schedule, location, et al. We pay on time (yes, that’s a bit of a joke….but we do pay on time).

Giftly is making gifting better, helping local businesses, bringing people together, and fighting a bloated cadre of slow-witted corporate monoliths who prefer stealing money to making awesome things. Here's why you should join the struggle against lame gifts.

Giftly is a design-obsessed company. We can be a multibillion dollar disruptive success with great design, but without it we don't have a chance. Come work where nothing trumps design, where how it works and how it looks matter to every employee, and where you'll have an enormous role in shaping a product and a company. If you want to be an Ive, this is your shot.

Giftly is mobile, social, and ambitious. This isn't page-layout. If you want to push yourself, designing beautiful web apps, device apps, and maybe even some nifty physical objects, this is your job. We need to take advantage of the latest web technologies to make Giftly fun, clever, comprehensible, and easy for users. An understanding of interaction design and UI/UX chops are important, but it's cool if they're implicit to you because you live on the web.

Giftly is a great place to work. Think of all the cliches about startups: dogs, lovely office, people in hoodies, etc.; discard the 80-hour workweeks, because we believe in work/life balance. We'll hook you up with any equipment you need; from Aerons to zebras, if it helps you, we'll buy it.

(4) Giftly is going to be huge. We're young, but we have an amazing team, great press, awesome user response, and we're part of a big trend: 1000% year-over-year growth in "e-gift cards." But we're not a gift card company. We make it possible to use technology to share experiences with one another; we put technology and design in the service of human needs. If you're a great designer who lives and breathes the web, who sees mediocre design and wants to fix it, who cannot stand sloppy, inattentive, or lame sites and apps, come talk to us. We want to pay you to make art, to make beauty, to make your vision a reality. Come make something that millions of people will adore. What could be more exciting than that?

Requirements:

• Strong understanding of usability and UI/UX principles for web & mobile apps.

• Mastery of your tools. This probably includes Photoshop and Illustrator; we've used Fireworks, too.

• Excitement about jumping in and getting your hands dirty designing a great product.

• Strong understanding of modern mobile and web design principles.

• Understanding of modern HTML, CSS, JS.

Bonuses, but not necessary:

• You enjoy doing UX & usability work.
• CSS framework experience: Blueprint, 960.gs, etc.
• Fluent in HTML5/CSS3.
• Knowledge of specific JS libraries: jQuery & friends, etc.
• Branding experience.
• Understanding of cross-browser presentation issues.
• Experience with a web templating language.
• Past work on e-commerce sites.

We think this is a dream job for a creative, product-minded designer. Its a crucial hire, so we'll be selective. But we will make sure it's worth it, both in terms of responsibility and compensation.

Job Perks: Lunches. Set up your workstation however you want, within reason. Want 3 monitors? Great. Go nuts. Quadrennial "flip out and overturn your desk" tantrum allotment. Meaningful ownership of a product that will be seen by millions of users.

Apply: Some things we'd love to see: Scans from your sketchbook Examples of your previous work done for hire. Examples of the stuff you create in your free time. Pictures of your tattoos, if any. Anything that shows us you are a world class designer and can build a world class design team
