Source: ID Discuss
HUGE is hiring Interaction Designers who are obsessed with building great software.
Interaction designers at HUGE work on really challenging problems on the web, on the desktop, and at the intersection of the two. You will conduct and synthesize user research, create interaction design frameworks, and collaborate with the fantastic designers at HUGE to see the design all the way through to detailed pixel specifications.
Specific responsibilities include:
* Help determine a product's mandate, feature set, and business requirements
* Participate in field work and user testing
* Develop user personas, scenarios of use, interaction models and detailed behavioral specifications
* Create wireframes and functional prototypes
* Document feature behavior in loving, painstaking detail
* Collaborate with HUGE teammates, HUGE clients, and third parties to ensure that your solutions excel in every possible way
Requirements:
* Proven, hands-on ability to apply the methodologies of interaction design to software development, and to generate designs that deliver power and pleasure to customers
* 2+ years experience designing and documenting windows applications or large-scale web-based applications, involving detailed design schematics
* Tendency to lose sleep over how to remove the need for "Cancel" buttons.
* Proven ability to multi-task
* Solid writing and visual communication skills
* A copy of Alan Cooper's "About Face 2.0", parts of which you can quote from memory
Note: this position is not suitable for people who are primarily Graphic Designers, Web Designers, Usability Analysts, or Information Architects without experience in application design. We value those roles--and you'll be expected to collaborate with these folk--but we're looking for an Interaction Designer for this role.
Salary according to the clarity and brilliance of the product specifications and designs in your portfolio.
This position is located in Brooklyn, NY, USA.
