What You Will Do

In our User Experience team, the guiding principle is straightforward yet essential: “Design industry-leading solutions that delight customers and drive business growth through empathy, collaboration, research, and efficiency.” Design Technologists make this possible.

As a Design Technologist, you’ll work alongside a team of User Experience practitioners, engineers, and product teams to turn concepts into living, breathing prototypes and iterate on interactions, animations, and details to deliver best-in-class user experiences for our website platform. As a Design Technologist, you’ll combine strong UI design aesthetics with technical ability.

In this role, you will work creatively through and around perceived limitations and/or challenges, as well as partner with product management and engineering to ensure that techniques and designs translate to existing user needs and technical guidelines.

• Create prototypes based on design concepts created by the user experience team and the company’s design system

• Use strong design principles that relate to typography, color, spacing, iconography, etc., to aid in the creation of prototypes

• Build and iterate on appropriate-fidelity prototypes that express design intent

• Componentize existing web pages with the standards and structures of the company’s design system

• Develop front-end code based on the business requirements and the company’s design system

• Deliver code that is flexible and can be iterated upon, with an understanding of what to fake and what to make.

What Skills & Experience You Should Bring

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, interaction design, human-computer interaction (HCI), or related UX degree

• Web UI development knowledge with HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, REST, etc

• Demonstrated hands-on experience with Vue or other Javascript-based Web UI frameworks

• A portfolio of work that demonstrates an ability to create simple, well-thought workflows and experiences that solve problems

• Fluency in user interface design fundamentals (typography, color, spacing, iconography)

• Excellent verbal communication skills

• Collaborative in spirit, open to iteration and feedback

• Strong attention to detail.
