We are looking for a T-shaped designer with a passion for design & the ability to create exceptional front-end code. This designer would be working with our interaction design & design strategy team.
If you dream about creating amazing interfaces, love knocking out some rad XHTML/CSS/Javascript and feel giddy when millions of users see and use your work everyday then this is your chance to make your dream come true.

We are a close-knit team based in Campbell, CA. We've been alive since 1998 (that's 91 in dog years) and have helped over 150 start-ups to design some kick ass online products. Our clients range from large, well-known companies (e.g. Facebook, Yahoo, Britney Spears, the New York Stock Exchange, Reuters, Photobucket, Zazzle) to brand-new start-ups just finding their feet (Qik, Ohai, Trap.it). They all came to us based on our reputation for delivering killer ideas that work.

You can check out our flagship product Notable or kick the tires of our second product Verify.
Underpinning all of this is a close-knit team of T-shaped people who love what we do.

It's our culture that makes our work great.What skills are we looking for?
