I’m Patrick, Co-founder and CEO. To start, you should probably know a little bit more about the position...

Follow me: @patrickambron

1. You will be completely in charge of product design

Product Strategy/UX UX / Final Wireframes Visual Design Code & Deployment

While you’ll be collaborating with the founders/management team on user experience and development, your core

responsibility is taking over the visual identity of the product and making the user experience beautiful.

2. This is one of the most important positions in the company

We are a design driven company. We understand design is the product. You’ll be making decisions and creating

designs that hundreds of thousands (and soon millions) of people interact with.

3. You will have complete artistic freedom

While the team will always be offering ideas and critiques, you are the head honcho when it comes to visual design.

That means you aren’t afraid to make bold decisions. That’s why we’re hiring you.

4. You are not just a pixel monkey

While your main responsibility is visual design, design is collaborative. You will be working directly with our Head or

Product every day, collaborating on wireframes and product direction before you make things pixel perfect.

5. This is a huge opportunity to be part of something special

improve their own Google results.

The right Pete Kistler, not a drug dealer

instead  of:  

Understand Search Engine Optimization

(most people don’t)

Pay a reputation firm thousands of dollars

(most people can’t)

The problem was, to improve your Google results, you either needed to:

You… Believe simplicity is beauty (less is more). We constantly strive to make things as simple as possible – from our user experience to our business model. We’re looking for a designer who shares that philosophy. Understand product. While your specialty is visual/interface design, you are very mindful of things like UX and even marketing.
