UX and Graphic Designer

At Fog Creek Software, we love great design and know how important it is. But to be honest, this is a company founded by developers, and we're just not very good at it.

If you dare to accept this challenge, you're going to change all that.

If you worked for us, this web page would be way more attractive. It would include spiffy pictures of our fantastic office. Things would line up properly. And the headline would be in Helvetica.

This is not just a job; it's a mission. You will work on all parts of our product portfolio, improving, revamping, redecorating, and redesigning. That includes three major products currently under active development and a bunch of websites that support them. We have a wide variety of projects and a diverse selection of work to do that includes:

  • Graphic design
  • Web design
  • Print design (including brochures, logos, stationary, even the occasional book)
  • User Experience design
  • Navigation and information architecture
  • Design for usability

Qualified candidates will have extensive training and experience in a variety of aspects of design including graphic design, web design, user experience, and information architecture. You have a portfolio of fantastic things that you designed, a track record of great teamwork, an eye for good design and usability, and the ability to produce elegant products that are a joy to use. You'll have the ability to work independently and drive projects to completion. You'll be working with a great team of extremely smart developers who care deeply about good design and are willing to invest in it, and a management team that will give you all the support you need.

Requirements

  • Incredible design talent. Your friends and coworkers describe you as a genius. Your design ability is way above average, as demonstrated by a continuous string of successful projects.
  • Excellent command of written and spoken English
  • Permanent legal right to work in the US
