Web/UI Designer in Oakland, CA, USA

You are a talented front-end web designer looking to help us build a beautiful and user-friendly Internet. You have a broad mix of experience and talents, you understand that design is as much about how well things work as how good they look, and you champion the needs of the user while understanding and appreciating the realities of our clients’ business.

You will take wireframes and turn them into beautiful comps and style tiles that conform to modern web accessibility guidelines. Then you’ll take those assets to develop component-based design systems, build online style guides and prototypes, and make git commits. And you will articulate your proposed designs and solutions to a non-technical audience equally as well as to a savvy group of peers.
