ABOUT CONTEXT OPTIONAL
In our opinion, social marketing is fun. If it wasn’t, we wouldn’t be putting our blood, sweat and tears into building such dynamic, robust, cutting-edge technology to support our clients who, without us, wouldn’t be able to build such vibrant brand presences on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Bebo and the iPhone. Still, while work is important – we all believe a healthy dose of fun is necessary. We build amazing, dynamic webapps and have also been known to host intense ‘Iron Chef’ style cooking competitions in the office on a random Wednesday (you’ll have to join us to find out how the office is split when it comes to favoring macaroni and cheese or ramen).
We love what we do. If you’re passionate about creating usable UI design, finding unique ways to brand that speak to a modern, tech-savvy audience and working with the best and brightest, we’d love to hear from you.
Some of our recent clients include: Microsoft, EA, Safeway, Toyota, Bank of America, HP, Target, and dozens of others. We currently manage applications with 12 million monthly active users on Facebook alone – not too shabby, right?
ABOUT THE POSITION
Involved in the creative process from design to execution, the ideal candidate will have a unique eye, great design skills and a real knack for building usable, understandable interactive experiences for real, yet tech-savvy, audiences.

- Minimum 2+ years hands-on UI design experience with a focus on building and deploying complex, interactive web projects using HTML and CSS
