[IxDA Discuss] (JOB) Interaction Designer@ meebo, Mountain View CA, meebo-Full time

[Anita Chan]

Interaction Designer at meebo

 

We love delighting users.  We don't expect our average user to notice
consistent button margins, a one-click buddy icon selection user flow,
or a background image that updates depending upon the screen size.
However, we attribute much of meebo's growth to our users discovering
meebo, experiencing delight, and then having a deep desire to share that
experience with their friends.  To cultivate this process, we
relentlessly strive to understand our users and are passionate about
fostering a creative, open-minded atmosphere within meebo.  We don't
always get it right - however, with user feedback, we keep trying and
trying and trying.

 

We're a small team.  So small that you'll be the first Interaction
Designer to join meebo.  We're looking for someone logical with deep
Windows/Linux/Mac OS UI expertise, who appreciates why web design is
different than software design, who can take seemingly contradictory
user feedback and pinpoint the real issue, and who asks enough questions
to understand strategic objectives.  Members of our team tend to be
nice, humble, and genuine.

 

In this role, your responsibilities will include:

*         Designing complex web application interactions

*         Conducting informal and formal usability testing

*         Promoting consistency across meebo's products

*         Documenting design decisions and interaction guidelines

*         Driving mockups, sitemaps, and page flows

*         Keeping up-to-date with similar user interfaces and products

*         Working with a diverse team to cultivate ideas and positively
influence design direction

*         Proactively suggest improvements for meebo's existing and
future products

*         Maintaining perspective while balancing polish, edge cases, a
strong core user experience, and project deadlines

*         Serving as an advocate for the end-user

 

To be most effective, you will:

*         Be familiar with HTML/CSS/JavaScript and have the drive to
learn more depending upon the project

*         Have at least basic Photoshop, Illustrator, or Visio
experience for prototyping and concept visualization

*         Have a keen eye for typography, layout, and user interaction.
Even after you've stared at an interface for hours, you can still spot
inconsistencies and potential improvements.

*         Be comfortable with statistical analysis tools and data-mining
packages and know how to use the data to influence design.

*         Have the communication and team skills to facilitate logical
design discussions within meebo's engineering, design, and business
teams

*         Promote a clean, intuitive experience that meebo's users will
be excited to share with friends and family

*         Have a background in Human-Computer Interaction, Computer
Science, or comparable degree/experience.  However, we're more impressed
by passion rather than GPAs, degree titles, or years of experience.

 

Please submit resumes and cover letters to jobs at meebo.com.  Look forward
to hearing from you!
