NOW HIRING: Web App UI Designer

Company: Simplero
Website: https://simplero.com
Headquarters: New York, United States


Are you excited and inspired to create the best, most elegant, most usable, most engaging, fun, exciting, and useful product out there? Do you eat, live and breathe great user interface design? Are you obsessed with software and how it can help make people better at what they do?

If so, I want you to join my product team.

First, let me tell you a bit about myself.

I’m Calvin Correli, and I’m looking for two phenomenal UI Designers to join my team. I founded Simplero, a software company that helps coaches, authors, and speakers transform lives at scale through online courses and memberships.

I’m a product visionary, an engineer, and a product guy at heart. I want to partner with you in raising the bar on web UI design, in how it can be designed to let users accomplish their goals, but also take them on a journey of growth, for their business, and—by extension—for themselves personally.

I want a UI that shows them where they’re at, what’s next, and what’s possible.

That highlights the parts of their business that are doing great, and the parts that need attention.

That helps benchmark them against others to see where they have room for improvement, and where they’re ahead.

That gives them a complete overview of their business without overwhelming someone just starting out.

It’s a difficult challenge to solve. Maybe even impossible. But where would we be if no-one ever tried the impossible? So let’s team up and create something we can all be insanely proud of by the time we’re done.

And then, of course, it’s on to the next challenge :)

We’re an all-remote team of 35 passionate about service, personal growth, and simplicity. We have helped 2500 customers in 30 countries make over $170M in real money. We’re bootstrapped and profitable, changing lives with our product and our service, we’re providing livelihoods, and we’re offering a valuable service, especially in these times.

I created Simplero because I wanted to teach spirituality to entrepreneurs. Why?

Because self-aware and purposeful entrepreneurs are the key to solving all the challenges we face in this world. And coaches are the ones that help the entrepreneurs (and other people) be self-aware and find and live their life purpose.

Simplero is growing, and we’re adding more companies and projects to our family. As we continue to grow, we want to expand our reach as far as we can, and that’s why we need you.


Requirements

A Little Bit About You:

  • You’re passionate about UI, always studying, learning, solving complex UI challenges while you shower because … because you can’t help it.
  • You can quickly sketch UI by hand, and make it look decent … this is super important. We won’t have time to do computer sketches when we’re brainstorming.
  • You love learning, and you’re a very quick study
  • You easily get the big picture
  • You can take something abstract and make it concrete and practical
  • You love users and love seeing the smile on their faces when you hit the sweet spot
  • You have a strong visual sense and can make things that are beautiful and functional


What You’ll Do:

  • Work closely with Calvin on product vision and UI design, both big picture, and in detail
  • Work closely with our engineering team to understand the technical limitations and possibilities
  • Work closely with our product team to understand our customers and their world, their needs, their business
  • Work on UI design sketches in increasing levels of granularity, from high-level concepts to implementation-ready pixel-perfect designs, based on feedback from all stakeholders


What You’ll Need:

  • A portfolio of great UI designs that you have personal created
  • Examples of your hand-drawn low-fi UI sketches
  • A sharp mind and intense hunger for learning


Benefits

Working with Calvin and Simplero will accelerate your career and allow you to work with world-class talent. We’re a team that loves what we do and thrive on our ability to make an impact. Some benefits that come with working with us are flexible work hours, coaching by our team coach, and lots of opportunities for training and skills development. After all, our business is about personal and spiritual growth!

NOW HIRING: Senior Video Editor & Visual Storyteller

Company: Interaction Design Foundation
Website: https://www.interaction-design.org
Headquarters: Aarhus, Denmark


Love motion pictures and visual storytelling? Want to help craft educational videos about design that are every bit as high-end as what National Geographic does for the natural world? Want to showcase your skills in every frame while casting powerful ideas into thousands of minds daily? That’s a big audience, hence why we’re looking for serious talent.

The Interaction Design Foundation is the biggest online design school globally. Founded in 2002, we have over 80,000 graduates and counting. We're market leaders in online design education because the world's leading experts create our content and because we're specialized in design. What’s more, with over 1.5 million monthly visitors, we’re at the forefront of providing premier design education to such organizations as IBM and SAP, as well as thousands of other members. Our ever-growing community now needs a first-class Video Editor and Visual Storyteller to help each of them along their learning journey.

Visual storytelling is a huge part of our winning formula: to reach our members on that magic level where they’re captivated to complete their course while feeling utterly inspired every step of the way. It’s about bringing entire worlds of knowledge so close that our members can taste and digest each morsel of delicious learning effortlessly and that—and this is the big one—they stay addicted to learning!

You will, therefore, become an essential part of our team, someone who is making a direct impact on not only the growth and reputation of our foundation but also the whole world of education and beyond!

This is a paid full-time position which is location independent: You’re free to work from wherever you want in the world. You will have regular video-based contact with your colleagues and get to meet them physically on team trips.


Responsibilities

  • You’ll be working closely with our UX design experts, founders and other team members to make the most inspiring and engaging lesson videos for our ever-growing catalog of courses. Videos are the best way to educate, and we have the best instructors: people who live and breathe UX design and many associated subjects. That means you’ll need to produce the best material to support what they’re teaching and employ all the tricks you know to make this magic a reality!
  • You’ll feel energized as you take your skillset to an even higher level among a highly ambitious and supportive team. Your expertise and eagle eye can help us refine our visual presence yet further and improve our video style guide. In fact, your sheer talent and eye for detail will be a big part in shaping the future of our video production and—by association—of design itself!

So, what do our videos look like? Well, here’s an example of what’s called a “design story”. In it, we filmed various airports and compared some aspects of their designs. As you can see, educational videos are not merely “talking heads with slides”.

This next video shows you what our educational videos—based on interviews and lectures—look and feel like. You’ll also notice how much we put into fine details: e.g., actually making a phone out of cardboard specifically for this video.

And this third video shows just how much emphasis and effort we put into animations, footage and on-screen text to give the ultimate learning experience:

So, if after seeing these videos you think “I could do better than that!”, then we’d love to hear from you!


Requirements

  • You have worked as a professional full-time video editor for at least 4 years.
  • You have solid experience in working with Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects.
  • You can push video learning ’one step beyond’, so your animations, illustrations, on-screen text and other visual effects work in perfect harmony to complement each instructor’s material and produce the ’wow’ factor. If you can make your own awesome animations, that’s even better!
  • You can place an entire, self-contained learning reality right in the mind of each member so all they have to do is watch and learn… and then feel extra-hungry to get out there and apply their new-found knowledge.
  • You have a love affair with the world of storytelling in film and impressing viewers through every frame of the journey.
  • You know visual storytelling is more than the sum of its parts, and the overall effect is vital.
  • And you have an ultra-sharp eye for the parts that make up the whole, right down to those finest details that are extra important to you. So, you catch any glitches, problems with continuity and other imperfections such as lighting and audio-related issues. You cringe at the idea of even the smallest rough edge creeping in to ruin a frame or make a transition jerky.
  • You love an environment of striving—and stretching—for perfection. You’re supremely competent and confident in working independently to produce the best material, and you know and love what a perfect product looks like.
  • You understand how others’ input can sometimes help you get the distance you need to see those odd bits that can flaw an otherwise-perfect result.
  • And, last but not least, you can see the world in terms of moving pictures, of powerful narratives waiting to be told and of matching our instructors’ zest and energy with your own natural passion for bringing ideas to life… and serving it all up in a way that screams extra care, extra value, extra-super choice to our members… and everyone they tell about what they got from us.

NOW HIRING: Software QA Expert

Company: Deep Consulting Solutions
Website: https://www.deepconsulting.solutions
Headquarters: Austin, Texas, United States


We are looking for self-motivated and results-driven software professionals to join our Global Tech Team and help us leverage automation and technology to transform remarkable companies and free people from unnecessary work.


Our Approach

We work with niche western (US, Canada, UK, etc.) companies to restructure and automate their operation so that their businesses can grow 5-10x. We do that by effectively analyzing their business, streamlining their processes, then designing an effective automation solution that we then implement on our robust IT stack.

We make extensive use of new technologies that help us accomplish results with less work - making everyone inside of our global organization more effective. This principle applies both for our software development and for our testing.

We develop our software solutions using the most modern platforms - including Amazon AWS, Zoho, Vonage/Nexmo, and others. These solutions, once implemented, will play a critical role in our client's organization and in effect run their business for them. It is thus vital that these solutions get thoroughly and rigorously tested before being rolled out.

For testing our software, we believe that a good testing strategy must involve a rigorous analysis of the business requirements before the software gets built, allowing to properly analyze the solution to be created, create vetted and effectively formulated solution requirements, and then have the solution built and tested to these requirements.

We are looking for people who share this approach with us and who are willing to think ahead, plan, and anticipate problems before they arise.


What We Offer

Results Focused Approach to Work.
We do not look at people's activities, the number of lines of text/code written, etc. as a quantifiable measure of success. Instead, we look at results - measured by effective solution roll outs and flawless operation of the system in the client's business - and it is these results that impact our employees' appraisal - with the compensation plan heavily tied to results.

Freely Arranged Schedule.
You decide when you want to work. What we expect from you are results. There is a daily stand-up call - but outside of it, you can manage your schedule as you prefer.

Work like an Expert, not just a Tester.
You make a deep dive in the business situation and the software solution design brought to you by our Business Analysts and Product Design Architects - you then investigate them and come up with a strategy on how to test which you then leverage the automation for. This approach allows you to get deep experience in the various aspects of business and software applied to it - making the most effective use of your time as an intelligent expert - not just a trivial tester.

Opportunities to grow within our organization.

We are a dynamic and growing organization with a team spread around multiple continents. If you prove yourself as a responsible, driven and motivated individual, there will be opportunities for you to take more responsibilities - such as managing teams and large projects.

Additionally, you are always encouraged to research the newest and best technologies to apply in your work - so you are always keeping up with the technological progress.


Merit Based Candidate Selection Process.

1 - Job Application Form.
2 - Online Skill Assessment.
3 - Interview.
4 - Paid Practical Assignment.
5 - Evaluation and Offer.


Role and Responsibilities

As a Software QA Expert, you will be responsible for the Tech Department delivering a functional and flawless software solution that is ready to be rolled out into our client's business. Depending on your level of responsibility, you will either be in charge of the project as the whole or a part of the project.


In accomplishing your goal will:

  • Analyze in depth the business situation and the solution design put together by our Business Analysis and Design Teams.
  • Vet the requirements before they go in production and plan your testing strategy based on vetted requirements.
  • Execute your testing strategy with manual and automated methods.
  • Work with the rest of the Tech Department to ensure that necessary revisions are made to the solution when problems are found in the most effective way.
  • Do anything you deem necessary to accomplish your result.


Requirements

You must be:

  • A mature and responsible individual driven by results and not activities.
  • An individual with genuine interest in technology.
  • Willing to learn, grow, and admit mistakes.
  • Able to communicate with other people on the project's team effectively.


You must have the following skills/experience:

  • Experience with Software Testing on commercial grade projects.
  • Experience with Software Development Lifecycle and working in Software Teams.
  • Strong Analytical Skills and at least basic experience with Software Requirements / Systems Analysis.
  • Experience with various manual and automated testing methodologies.


The following will be a good plus:

  • Experience with CRM and ERP systems such as Zoho, Salesforce and others.
  • Experience with complex software solutions involving a lot of complex integrations, calculations, real time interactions, etc.
