We are looking for talented designers, strategists, and creative technologists to join our group and bring new energy to our process.

You will be responsible for developing interactive prototypes to conceptualize and develop innovative approaches. This position works within a startup-style lab and will need to wear several hats as required, such as serving as a product and/or project manager as well as the S/W architect when necessary.

We are interested in passionate and self-motivated individuals who are comfortable in a highly fluid environment. You will bring drive, smarts, and curiosity; we will provide the environment for you to thrive and grow.

Position Responsibilities:

  • Define new product platforms, architectures, and strategies to architect and develop the best technical design approach and development of digital solutions and products via working closely with all aspects of the organization including management, engineers, UX/UI designers, programmers, and SW quality.

  • Have a differentiated point of view and innovative thinking on a variety of product categories to inspire colleagues.
  • Contribute to team development (at times making vital considerations for the team versus individual).
