a broad range of stakeholders, guiding teams in effective user experience and usability.

 

Responsibilities:

·         Design user interface solutions—including layout, color schemes, and fonts, for web-based

applications—to product concepts, requirements, and interaction with a wide range of stakeholders

·         Develop necessary CSS, XHTML, and/or JavaScript needed to provide code for a graphically-designed

user interface

·         Create graphics, illustrations, and/or animations to support user interfaces as required

·         Create prototypes of user interface designs, from lower fidelity, image-based mock-ups to

production-ready, CSS/XHTML-based 'clickable' prototypes

·         Customize prototypes for marketing or demonstration purposes

·         Partner with web designers and engineers on project work; provide guidance and oversight as

required

·         Assess existing user interfaces and present marketable and usable enhancements

·         Participate in development integration and system testing as necessary

·         Analyze and address defects through modifications to existing CSS, XHTML, and JavaScript as

required

·         Propose and review presentation architecture to ensure that it supports extensible web design

·         Participate in user focus groups and usability studies as required

 

Skills/Experience

·         2 years of experience developing standards-compliant, and cross browser–compliant XHTML and

CSS for high traffic websites

·         Ability to generate XHTML/CSS by hand, not using a WYSIWYG editor

·         Ability to develop high quality, user interfaces that adhere to usability and accessibility standards

(e.g. W3C's Content Accessibility Guidelines, Neilsen/Norman Group guidelines)

·         Comprehensive knowledge of JavaScript, AJAX and associated frameworks (e.g. jQuery, Prototype,

Dojo)

·         Ability to generate novel solutions to user experience problems and visualize them in appealing web

designs

·         Proficiency with image manipulation software (e.g. Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver)

·         Understanding of integrated development environments (e.g. Eclipse) and version control software

(e.g. CVS, Subversion)

·         Ability to think logically, critically, and constructively about complex problems

·         Possess strong oral and written communication skills and strong influence skills

 

Desired Skills

• Experience performing usability testing, heuristic site evaluations and assessment of resulting data

• Experience in web design for web applications in an n-tier architecture

• Experience with development of animation in tools such as Adobe Flash, Adobe AIR

• Experience designing in an Agile environment strongly preferred

• Experience designing and/or developing for mobile platforms (e.g. iPhone OS, Android)
