Role Summary
Open to part time or full time. Create wondrous, beautiful software that helps people to better understand their world. We need a creative, bold designer who can take extremely difficult UX problems and find elegant and aesthetic solutions. LiquidText’s user experience is highly custom, with patented interactions and visualizations found nowhere else, so the problems we face in making these features usable, discoverable, learnable, and memorable are especially hard. You will need to look far outside of standard design strategies and templates. For this position, we expect excellent aesthetic UI skills, but intelligent and simple UX is even more important. A background HCI, in user testing, User Centered Design process, or Scandinavian Design philosophy is a major plus.
