We’re Hiring a Web UI/UX Designer/Developer

We’re hiring a Web UX Designer/Developer. If the following description intrigues you, or you think it’d be a fit for a friend, please let me know!

Position:

We’re looking for a jack-of-all-trades UI/UX designer/developer who isn’t afraid to get slightly dirty in the backend. You’ll work primarily on our Rails frontend code: simplifying, beautifying, and generally making our site easier and more fun to use for the hundreds of thousands of folks who do so each month. You’ll A/B test multiple designs to find the best one, but you’ll make the call based on instincts when necessary. You’ll build worthwhile products and have an amazing experience working with an great team of 2 alongside a handful of other cool companies also housed at Founder’s Co-op.

Responsibilities:

  • Understand our goals and translate them into beautiful software. 
  • From concept to HTML/CSS implementation, build frontends for new and existing features.
  • Create AppStoreHQ style guides.
  • Be a voice of the user, always advocating for the best user experience.
  • Every so often, dive slightly deeper into our backend code and help out when we need it.

Requirements:

  • Mastery of HTML/CSS/JavaScript (jQuery)/etc. Bonus if you’re fluent in ERB.
  • Strong theoretical and practical understanding of user experience.
  • Knowledge of Photoshop (or equivalent, e.g. Gimp, etc).
  • Willingness to take on roles beyond the frontend, such as working with Rails models.

Why work at AppStoreHQ?

Our goal at AppStoreHQ is to build fantastic tools for users to find the best mobile apps and to help developers create, promote, and support their apps. We’re leading the way in mobile app search and discovery with our Hottest rankings, review aggregation, and multi-platform support. We also run the largest independent iPhone developer forum, iPhoneDevSDK. Founded in March, 2009, we’re scrappy, making real revenue, and headed quickly toward cash-flow breakeven. We’re funded by the awesome folks at Founder’s Co-op and located in the beautiful Eastlake neighborhood of Seattle, just a block away from Lake Union.

With you on our team, we can take our vision to the next level. You’ll receive a salary and a significant amount of stock. You’ll be just the third full-time member of the team. We’re a very casual company (No meetings! No set amount of vacation days! Free lunch Tuesdays!) but intensely passionate about what we do and helping those we serve.

Come join us and help us build an amazing company! To apply, send your resume, portfolio link, and other relevant info to iseff@appstorehq.com.
