Why join us? In January 2012, Zappos.com, Inc. and its subsidiaries were named #11 on the 2012 Fortune: 100 Best Companies to Work For List.
Why else? We offer an extensive benefits package for all full-time employees, including medical, dental, vision, and 401k!
And. . . we're hiring like crazy right now, and looking for smart, forward-thinking problem solvers to join our world-class, fairly wacky team.
Oh, and one more thing! Cover letters are cool but do you know what's even cooler?! Show us who you are with a cover letter VIDEO! You will be able to upload one when applying for this position. (Video cover letters are not required but if you wanna do one, we wanna see it!)
Position Summary:
We are growing and looking for a multi-talented User Experience Practitioner to join our weird (but oh so fun!) hardworking team of UX peeps.
You will be part of a small team of User Experience Designers, Usability Researchers, Information Architects, and Analytics ninjas. We are a humble group (despite the "ninjas" reference) who are committed to defining and building the future of the Zappos.com website.
The User Experience Practitioner will be assisting in all phases of project lifecycles. Their responsibilities will include, but not be limited to, brainstorming sessions to elicit business requirements, gathering and utilizing user research data, creating wireframes, producing finished screens, writing UX specifications, and building prototypes - basically do some of everything we do in UX while honing your UX skillset. Discovering UX passions and specialties will be strongly enforced (aka: highly recommended).
More about the crazy, fun, weird and passionate person that is you:
? You've got a passion for UX and want to jump in. You have a good working knowledge of UX principles and deliverables. You've got the basics down and want to start building your UX chops.
? On that note, you don't know everything about UX and you're just fine with that. You're interested in learning and contributing but equally willing to openly share your creative thoughts and opinions.
? You are excited by the idea of working in a small and weird team known for their off-base humor and on-target mission to make User Experience a company mindset. Being collaborative is one of your strongest qualities because you thrive in dynamic team environments.
? You know that being part of an innovative culture means rapid and constantly shifting priorities. This excites you to no end.
? You celebrate failure. Your path to UX has hopefully shown you that failure is critical to innovation and you learn more from your mistakes than you do from your successes.
? You are able to interpret needs, objectives, and direction from multiple sources of input (you speak both "geek" and "marketing-ese" )
? You can communicate ideas and concepts clearly and concisely while quickly applying feedback and direction as needed. You do this by effectively asking the right questions "with big ears".
? OmniGraffle amazes you, but Adobe Illustrator will always hold a special and dear place in your heart.
The boring but important technical stuff you have:
? Experience that demonstrates an understanding of and skills related to user experience design, processes and research methods.
? Ideally some experience working on e-commerce sites, preferably large-scale, dynamically driven ones.
? Experience sketching, defining, and documenting UX design as well as developing interaction requirements/specifications
? Familiarity with HTML/DHTML, CSS, javascript and other web technologies and their inherent strengths and limitations as they relate to UX development (you're all about the semantic web!)
? An interest in data driven design balanced with an empathetic approach.
? Experience with UI and interaction pattern libraries is a huge plus.
