ABOUT THIS POSITION

This is a high impact opportunity for an experienced web design professional on a small but mighty product team. At its core, this role is about building delightful user experiences for people who love building for others just as much as you do.

WE’RE EXCITED TO TALK IF YOU: Are passionate and knowledgeable about user-centered design

• You know what tools to use and when in order to build solutions that solve real user problems - whether that means conducting user research, identifying user needs, mapping user flows, iteratively creating wireframes, testing assumptions through clickable prototypes, or delivering high fidelity mock-ups with detailed UI and visual design specifications to Product and Engineering teams, you love every minute of it.

Have experience with the tools of the trade

• You’re not expected to be a developer, but you know enough about HTML, JavaScript, and CSS to efficiently work with your code writing colleagues to bring your designs to life. You have experience using Figma, InVision, or Adobe XD and understand how to use these tools to organize your ideas, iterate on your designs, and produce extensible design systems.

Are a champion of web design who is always learning

• You are consistently an advocate for our users, pushing us all to produce delightful, intuitive and functional software while inspiring the team with the latest design tools and techniques.

Thrive in collaborative environments

• You’ll be working with developers, product managers, customer success and other designers to bring your ideas to life and validate your design decisions. You know who you should talk to keep yourself moving and whether or not that means an async chat in Slack or a remote workshop

Are a strong communicator who checks their ego at the door

• You're confident and articulate in communicating your ideas to stakeholders while being open to feedback

Motivated by the challenge of working on both an established platform and an entirely new product with lots of room for growth

• You’ll be joining the market leader in publicly accessible Hackathons! A platform that is used by hundreds of thousands of students, hobbyists and professionals. But that’s not all, you will also have a direct hand in building the future of our brand new B2B Hackathon offering, Devpost for Teams.

Are prepared and excited for this opportunity

• We’re not too fussy about years of experience or how many degrees you have, but to have all of the above covered you probably have 5+ years of professional experience. You will be helping to lead the design discipline at Devpost for two products that directly impact the global software development community and that excites you.

WHAT WE OFFER YOU

Joining Devpost, you’ll be empowered and have the autonomy to do your best work with the support of a fantastic team who want to see you succeed and exceed even your own expectations.

• Competitive compensation

• Great benefits

• Stock Options

• Ongoing training and professional development

• Weekly all hands meetings to show your work, ask questions and stay informed

• Yearly company off-sites in remote locations
