Why join us? In January 2012, Zappos.com, Inc. and its subsidiaries were named #11 on the 2012 Fortune: 100 Best Companies to Work For List.
Why else? We offer an extensive benefits package for all full-time employees, including medical, dental, vision, and 401k!
And. . . we're hiring like crazy right now, and looking for smart, forward-thinking problem solvers to join our world-class, fairly wacky team.
Oh, and one more thing! Cover letters are cool but do you know what's even cooler?! Show us who you are with a cover letter VIDEO! You will be able to upload one when applying for this position. (Video cover letters are not required but if you wanna do one, we wanna see it!)
Position Summary:
We are growing and looking for a talented Senior User Experience Designer to join our weird (but oh so fun!) hardworking team of UX peeps.
You will be part of a small team of User Experience Designers, Usability Researchers, Information Architects, and Analytics ninjas. We are a humble group (despite the "ninjas" reference) who are committed to defining and building the future of the Zappos.com website.
The Senior User Experience Designer will be involved in all phases of the development process. Their responsibilities will include, but not be limited to, running brainstorming sessions to elicit business requirements, gathering user research data, creating wireframes, producing finished screens, writing UX specifications, and building prototypes.
More about the crazy, fun, weird and passionate person that is you:
? You're a master at turning ideas into solid UX deliverables. Whether the initial concepts come to you as a detailed 40 page document or scribbled on the back of a napkin you know what steps to take to turn them into exceptional experiences.
? You know there's no "I" in "TEAM" but there is in "Innovation." You have a team oriented, collaborative approach to user experience design.
? You're able to communicate ideas and concepts clearly and concisely. You know collaboration is key but design by committee run amok can be the death of a good UX design.
? You are more flexible than an Olympic gymnast and able to shift gears faster than this years' Daytona 500 winner. You know that being part of an innovative culture means rapid and constantly shifting priorities. You live for the challenge of it.
? Your real-world experience has taught you that "best practices" can be a dirty word. You understand usability best practice rules inside and out -- so that you know when it's appropriate to break them. You're interested in blazing new trails and establishing new practices that work specifically for our unique environment.
? You celebrate failure. You know that failure is critical to innovation and you learn more from your mistakes than you do from your successes.
? You are able to interpret needs, objectives, and direction from multiple sources of input (you speak both "geek" and "marketing-ese" fluently).
? You are so into online shopping and ecommerce that you have completely forgotten where your local shopping mall is.
? You believe that Jared Spool would easily win a UX celebrity grudge-match with Jakob Nielsen -- figuratively speaking, of course! We don't advocate violence of any kind, but wouldn't that make for an interesting session at next year's Information Architecture Summit?
? You are excited by the idea of working in a small and weird team known for their off-base humor and on-target mission to make User Experience a company mindset.
The boring but important technical stuff you have:
? A strong body of work that demonstrates advanced skills in e-commerce user experience design, including examples of the processes and research methods that informed your designs.
? Proven experience working on e-commerce sites, preferably large-scale, dynamically driven ones.
? Proven experience defining, developing, and documenting UX design and interaction requirements/specifications
? Familiarity with HTML/DHTML, CSS, javascript and other web technologies and their inherent strengths and limitations as they relate to UX development (you're all about the semantic web!)
? Experience mentoring other passionate UXers.
? Experience developing UI and interaction pattern libraries is a huge plus.
? Advanced experience creating high fidelity interactive prototypes is such big a plus that it makes us get all twitchy with excitement.
If you want the fun and feel of a start-up company, but the solid management and resources of an established business, this may be the place for you!
