Austin Tech Jobs and Startup Jobs

Create usable and engaging user experiences that support customer needs and business objectives. Design experiences to scale across multiple scenarios, products, and customers for native and web. Proactively manage multiple projects—from start to finish—to meet priorities and requirements in an agile environment. Effectively communicate / collaborate with engineers, product managers, designers, researchers, and writers to conceptualize, prototype, test, iterate, and build end-to-end experiences. Effectively define and document user problems, principles, and details necessary to communicate and implement solutions.

Collaborate with product managers and engineers to define broad requirements and design goals. Build prototypes of various fidelity to validate new product concepts. Relentlessly champion the user while defining user experience opportunities and identifying use cases. Identify usability issues for upcoming feature releases and collaboratively align on a solution. Tackle fiendishly complex design problems and provide clarity for the team as you break them down into viable, user-centered solutions. Analyze engagement metrics on in-flight pilots, and rapidly iterate the design with an eye towards constant improvement. Partner with UI engineers to test new features and identify bugs prior to deploying to production. Be the fountain of knowledge - keep the company in sync with user experience findings and the novel design approaches you’re pushing forward, actively doling out little nuggets of insights at just the right time.

You converge on exactly what the customer needs by iterating on lo-fidelity prototypes. You solicit feedback directly from your customers before, during, and after - pretty much daily. You believe in creating the most useful experiences, more important than usability or beauty. You share facts that matter to customers about how your solutions are better than competitors. You’re as excited about finding / identifying / uncovering problems as you are about crafting solutions. You base design decisions on insights rather than observations (and you know the difference between the two). You go with your gut and make decisions quickly, seek feedback, and make changes along the way. You think holistically - you recognize that the journey starts well before and well after the product. You value generative research - bonus points if you have experience leading research and synthesis. Our culture code rings true to you. It’s simple. Be customer-focused, and kick butt at experience design.
