NOW HIRING: Senior Product Designer

Company: Retail Zipline
Website: https://www.retailzipline.com
Headquarters: San Francisco, California, United States


We are an early stage, well-funded, fast-paced company with amazing customers (like Gap Inc, TOMS, lululemon, and LEGO) and awesome investors. We're looking for a driven Senior Product Designer who is passionate about affordances and capabilities. We believe that getting work done in retail should feel like magic, powerful and effortless - and you’ll help ensure we maintain the ease of use we’re known for as our product continues to evolve.

Our mission is to bring retail operations out of the dark ages and give companies effective tools that their employees love to use. You will help improve the way that this 4.4 trillion dollar industry communicates with its store employees and save them from sad, slow, inefficient systems (think fax machines, voicemails, and the postal service). People deserve better! We need your help to make this happen.

This is a senior, hybrid role that spans both UX research and strategy as well as UI visual design. You should be a seasoned software designer with experience defining product specifications and designing fully-functional products. Ideal candidates will have a sharp eye for color and shape and be comfortable translating abstract requirements into practical product features. As a leader of our product design organization, you’ll also help to onboard, mentor and lead other members of our growing design team.

Our technical co-founder has been working in a cross-section of design and development for over 20 years. We get that product design isn't about pretty pictures. It's about understanding the jobs to be done and providing the affordances to make that happen, while adding some personality along the way. It's about collaborating with a talented team of people to understand and deliver behavior change that makes people's lives more enjoyable.

Curious about more of our philosophical underpinnings when it comes to design? Our inspiration comes from people like Edward Tufte, Bill Moggridge, Cameron Moll, Ryan Singer, and Tony Ulrich.

The product is not some web application. It's the is the change that we create in our customer's lives. Good design enables positive change and we're always striving to help our customers be more effective at what they're trying to accomplish.

Would you like to help us do more of that?


Here's a list of things you might do:

The ideal candidate:

• You’ve scaled a product across the chasm and have seen both sides of it.
• You’re able to easily and quickly produce multiple concepts, and intuitively know when low-fi sketches will get the job done just as well as high-fidelity prototypes. (We’re a startup, so we move fast!)

NOW HIRING: Laravel Developer

Company: Delicious Brains Inc.
Website: https://spinupwp.com
Headquarters: Remote


Hi, my name is Brad Touesnard. I’m the founder of Delicious Brains Inc. We make high quality products for WordPress.

The “we” is currently a small team of six developers, one designer, one marketer, and myself. I’m very proud to say that our little crew has been managing to delight thousands of customers for years.
In addition to this position, I’m currently in the process of hiring a Developer Writer and a WordPress Developer with plans for more soon. We have big plans for 2020. Exciting times!


The Job

Back in November 2018, we launched a new SaaS product called SpinupWP (a modern cloud-based server control panel designed for WordPress). We launched out of beta in May last year and have been growing steadily ever since. We’ve helped thousands of customers spin up over 8,000 sites, perform over 62,000 site backups, and perform over 660,000 tasks!

Currently, Gilbert and Ash work full-time on SpinupWP developing and maintaining the app as well as supporting all of our customers. Lewis, our in-house designer helps with all things design as well.
I’m looking for a talented Laravel developer to join Gilbert and Ash to help build new features for SpinupWP as well as help out with support and documentation.

The app is built using Laravel (PHP) and the front-end is built using Vue.js, so lots of experience with both frameworks and their associated tooling is essential. You’ll also be using Ansible to make sure SpinupWP provisions servers and creates and maintains sites using our LEMP stack (Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Redis, etc) so sysadmin experience of hosting sites/web apps is also essential.

We currently work in eight-week cycles with a two-week cooldown period where you can work on whatever you want from the SpinupWP backlog. All of our code is committed to GitHub and your code will be reviewed by Gilbert or Ash using GitHub pull requests. You’ll also be reviewing Gilbert and Ash’s code.


Responsibilities

• Help plan and define the scope of new features
• Build new features using modern PHP (Laravel), JavaScript (Vue) and Ansible
• Work on bug fixes and improvements during each cycle
• Maintain and write new unit and acceptance tests
• Write documentation and in-app copy
• Support our customers via email
• Write articles and tutorials for our blog
• Attend company retreats (see details below)

Requirements

• Expert PHP & JavaScript development skills
• 10,000+ hours (6+ years working full-time) of advanced PHP development
• 10,000+ hours of HTML & CSS development
• 10,000+ hours of advanced JavaScript development
• 8,000+ hours (5+ years working full-time) of project work with Laravel
• 5,000+ hours (3+ years working full-time) of project work with Vue.js
• 1,600+ hours (1+ years working full-time) of project work with git as source control
• Sysadmin experience hosting sites/web apps on Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Redis
• Experience writing automated tests
• Excellent English communication skills (spoken and written)
• Work hours in a North America time zone
• Self-motivated and work well independently
• Comfortable working remotely (we don’t have an office)

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with WordPress
• Experience with Ansible
• Experience building and using REST APIs
• UX and design skills
• Open source contributions
• Computer Science degree or equivalent

About You

• You’re excited about the prospect of working on the full spectrum of tasks that are required to build a successful SaaS app. From backend and frontend development, sysadmin, design and UX to documentation and support. You don’t mind wearing multiple hats on any given day.
• You’re curious and love to learn. You embrace the opportunity to level up, learn something new and really dig into it. You’re a disciplined worker and have no trouble getting work done at home on any given day.
• You value consistency above preference and will adopt new coding styles, standards, and tools to that end. You are stellar at identifying the simple, elegant solution in a sea of over-engineering possibilities.
• Although you often need people to help you generate ideas and formulate a plan of attack on a project, you do your best work in isolation without interruption. You’re proactive in tackling things that need to be done without direction.
• You’re exceptional at communicating in writing via instant message, email, etc. You’re ok on the phone and video chat too. You understand that clear, concise written communication is how remote teams thrive. Putting a pull request up for review without explaining its context is unheard of for you.
• You own both successes and failures. When a project you’re leading turns into a disaster, you own it and you learn from it. You never point the finger at others.
• You invite criticism and genuinely want to grow as a professional. You’re onboard with pushing each other to be better and are not afraid to give constructive criticism in addition to receiving it.

Perks

• Location Independent. Work from wherever you’re happiest, as long as you can make scheduled meetings.
• Choose Your Schedule. Most companies claim to have flexible hours, but the reality is often very different. We flex our hours for real. 💪As long you’re hitting 30-37.5 hours per week on average and you do what you say you’ll do, we’re good.
• Company Retreats. As a remote company, it’s super important to get some face time. Last year we met up in Berlin and we’re headed to Portugal in June. Will you be joining us?
• Personal Development. If there’s a conference or event that will help you level up, the company will cover your expenses. You’re also allotted 3 hours per month to learn something new, participate in community discussions, and/or contribute to an open source project.
• Profit Sharing. I present a Profit & Loss report to the team quarterly so everyone knows how the company is doing. And when the company does well, the team does well.
• Company Holidays. Things get pretty quiet in late December / early January, so we always treat ourselves to a couple of weeks off to reboot during this time.
• Paid Leave. For the birth or adoption of a child, the company offers 8 weeks of 100% paid leave for primary caregivers and 3 weeks for secondary caregivers. We also offer 5 paid sick days and 3 days of paid bereavement leave.
• Competitive Salaries. The company pays salaries that are competitive with the market in which you reside. We don’t use the benefits of remote as leverage to negotiate lower salaries.

We are an equal opportunity employer. Application information that is prone to unconscious biases is hidden during the review process whenever possible. We judge the content of the applications on their own without knowledge of the applicant’s race, color, gender, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, or age. We support workplace diversity, but not at the expense of equal opportunity and meritocracy. We’re looking for talented and empathetic people no matter their other attributes.


I look forward to reviewing your application.


Best of luck,
Brad Touesnard
Founder & CEO
Delicious Brains Inc.
