UX/Interaction Designer – Downtown Vancouver (AD-UX) ***FILLED***
Our client is a well-funded start-up based in Vancouver. The team is a group of people that has been successful in previous start-ups and changed the way things are done and online experiences are viewed. They are now looking to expand their creative team by hiring the best minds available. You will have the opportunity to work with one of the brightest, most innovative individuals in the business!
Details
Working with engineers and game designers, you will take designs from conception to the wireframe/spec phase and then all of the way through production. This is a far-ranging design role that will ask you to wear many hats.
Proficiency in standard design tools is required. Solid experience with HTML/CSS and a thorough understanding of web standards is a must. An ability to code and experience with video or audio production software are all pluses.
Excellent taste and solid design sense is assumed. Ideally you have experience
in game development but this is not a requirement for the right candidate.
Specific responsibilities include:
- Design and help implement all aspects of the web site (html/css/js/php). This includes the sign up flow, profile management, and many aspects of the game UI that are not built into the Flash-based game client.
- Design in-game interactions and interfaces to support new features
- Design the chrome for the Flash-based game client. You will work with Flash engineers to see your designs into production.
- Conduct basic user research tasks.
- Concept new features and help define them.
Ideally, you can also:
- Take a leadership role in creating a product that people fall in love with.
- Create simple animations to illustrate in-game actions.
- Play a role in the overall branding of the game.
- Potentially manage a team of designers as the group grows.
This is a full-time SENIOR position, based in Vancouver. Compensation is competitive and includes equity.
