Here’s a bit about us:

We’ve built what we feel represents the future of the personal internet: the personal data platform. It supports our mission to empower individuals and developers — improving the ways we create, connect and share with applications and one another.

Our office is open, beautiful and bright. In fact, so is our team. We ♥ node.js, sunlight, good beer, music, vegetables and anything open source. We maintain a positive atmosphere; open communication; and an ever-challenging workload. And we’ve made it known to our account holders, investors and the internet: selling sugar water just isn’t our thing.

Looking for a UI + UX Lead

About us:
Singly is a startup based in the Mission District of San Francisco.

We’re on a mission to empower individuals and developers by breaking down barriers that limit personalization and creative expansion of the web. By connecting networks and platforms and allowing open interaction and portability of data, Singly will turn constraint into opportunity. We aren’t simply allowing developers to build on this platform; we’re encouraging, supporting and interacting with them in every way.

Our office is open, beautiful and bright. In fact, so is our team. We ♥ node.js, sunlight, vegetables, good beer, music and anything open source. Singly prides itself on maintaining a positive atmosphere with open communication and an ever-challenging workload.

About you:
You need a job that you love. You’re excited about solving difficult problems and creating the future of sharing on the web. You seek consensus but are not intimidated by groups. You’re excited about making tools for developers, and eating dog food.

Responsibilities:

  • Work closely with the product lead to design and prototype apps and features.
  • Lead the user experience as we grow, including helping to build the team.
  • Collaborate with engineers and other designers as needed.
  • Create (or commission) pixel perfect assets.
  • Ability to work across engineering, product, and marketing functions (even though, secretly, ______ is your favorite).
  • Translate product requirements into UI/UX concepts, mockups, flowcharts. Iterate. Rinse and repeat.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years designing browser and mobile applications.
  • A portfolio of beautiful and useful things you’ve made.
  • Not to brag, but you’re quite handy with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Google docs.
  • Develop and maintain specs and mocks.
  • Ability to move between designing for different users.
  • Understanding of browser and mobile web design best practices.
  • Experience with responsive web design.
  • Experience with Github.
