Sr. Web-First UX/UI Designer (Remote)

We're looking to build out our creative team with a senior UI designer focused on the responsive web experience for businesses as well as end-user destinations. You'll work under our Creative Director with Product and Engineering teams to focus on delivering a peerless experience for local businesses as they seek to build rapport with consumers. Part of this will be seeking to bridge and adapt the experience from our mobile app to a new web-native client (aka your work). 

We think that brand encompasses all touchpoints of experience: from back-end CMS dashboards through to front-end shareable events. And ideally you do too. 

Here's what you can expect working at Go:

  • Ideating and improving upon user stories, wireframes, and requirements
  • Creating high-fidelity designs capable of handing off, working with, and improving engineering
  • Work with other creative team members as we ideate, improve, and build up our holistic design systems
  • Do no harm - thinking through consequences and possibilities in your work to potentially harm other users, employees or the planet - and you know, not doing that

Requirements:

  • BA/BFA or similar degree
  • 4-8 years of professional experience in either agency, product or direct-to-consumer work with a focus in digital
  • Standard job requirement stuff: Ability to take direction, improve upon feedback, work with cross-department teams and manage multiple timelines and deliverables
  • Proactive in ensuring design and brand cohesion across deliverables
  • Perfection-minded in finalizing assets for delivery to engineering, media or print
  • Must know Sketch like the back of your hand (but also have familiarity with Adobe Suite and Keynote)
  • You think in strategic design implementation. Patterns. Breakpoints, media queries, edge cases. You probably have hands-on familiarity with a couple of frameworks even.
  • Strong online portfolio that showcases a range of work and your thought process.
  • A 'how can I help' attitude even if the work may be below your station: pitch deck assets, production materials, email, banner ads, search copy. Even our Creative Director chips in on this stuff.
  • Stable working environment with high quality internet access
  • Must hate snakes


Location:

This is a distributed/remote position. You can work anywhere in the world so long as you've got rock-solid internet and a reliable working environment. Our core team is situated around PST hours (GMT -08:00), so you'll be expected to be available with at least 80% overlap of those hours.
