Product Designer

One of our companies is looking for creative, intelligent and resourceful individuals to join our growing team.

From re-engineering old IT to building fresh agile software, they specialize in partnering with science and technology based organizations to develop first-of-its-kind information solutions by strategically applying 21st century thinking.

Why they love what they do (and so could you)

• Seriously collaborative, even with people not on their teams
• Immerse yourself in one project at a time
• Daily product decision making and real product delivery with product managers and developers
• Freedom to try out new design processes; in the spirit of agile, do what works, try new things, stop doing things that don't work; not a lot of constraints on the 'creative' process
• You are always shipping
• Design pairing
• Environment that encourages learning and growing as a professional and individual and infrastructure to support and motivate those goals
• Community oriented design team
• They really care about design and don't cut corners - and still they're shipping all the time
• All the designers have different skillsets: you're not expected to be an expert in everything but having access to someone who probably is means they all get smarter by teaching and learning
