UI/UX Designer

You love designing apps that people love to use. In this role, you'll help design innovative, usable, and buildable phone, tablet, and laptop/desktop applications. You're a problem solver. You love taking complex functionality and making it simple and elegant, and delight in designing thoughtful details into a solution. Your blend of interaction design, information architecture, and visual design skills enables you to explore ideas from a variety of perspectives. Additionally, because software is an interactive medium, you enjoy creating (and/or collaborating to create) prototypes that illustrate how an app will look and work.

The Role

• Solve design challenges. You have experience in interaction design, information architecture, and/or visual design. While it's rare to find someone deeply skilled in all design disciplines, you are deep in at least two and have some skills in the third.
• Based on your skills, you'll create annotated wireframes, visual design comps, user flows, and/or paper and interactive prototypes as necessary in order to explore ideas and document design decisions.
• Participate in user research. Solving design challenges requires understanding the problems users face, and the best solutions often stem from insightful questions and observations.
• You'll participate in user research and help create artifacts (e.g., user profiles, user stories) that inform the design process.
• Participate in usability testing. Often it takes a few iterations to find the right design solution. You will help prepare materials to support usability tests, help interpret results, and modify designs based on the outcomes.

Requirements

• Ability to create artifacts that illustrate how an app will look and work (e.g., wireframes, user flows, visual design comps, paper and interactive prototypes)
• Fluency with design tools you love to use (e.g., Sketch, Zeplin, Proto, Framer JS, Axure, OmniGraffle, Adobe tools, Balsamiq, IDEs)
• Strong understanding of interface design principles; navigation and architecture; and typography, color, and layout principles
• Familiarity with standards-compliant web design and the capabilities and constraints provided by CSS, JavaScript libraries, mobile app frameworks, etc.
• A can do collaborative attitude.
• Speak and write well, play well with others, and engage with clients.
• Experience in consulting and the ability to deal with ambiguity
• Must be located in the Bordeaux, France area and willing to work on-site from our Bordeaux office.

Preferred

• Bachelor's degree in a design discipline (or relevant experience).
• Proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for rapid prototyping.
• Experience leading and moderating teams.
