Web designer wanted for a YC W2010 company

We are a YC company in the (current) W2010 batch. We're looking for a designer that can make our application at least 10 times more beautiful and 10 times more usable than it is.

We believe that user-interfaces should be so obvious that users never need to click the "help" button. We're looking for a designer who considers that a minimum quality benchmark for his or her work.

As our designer, you should be:

- Comfortable with the technology (HTML, CSS, web standards, jQuery, flash, etc.)

- Competent with the tools of the trade like Photoshop

- Knowledgeable about design and typography

- Passionate about user experience and willing to defend your opinions to us

- Flexible with your hours, your patience and your willingness to learn new things

We use HTML, CSS, blueprint, jQuery, and occasionally flash and expect you to be familiar with these tools. Be sure to mention it if you had a working knowledge of Ruby, Linux or you happen to be an SEO expert as well.

This position comes with equity; if we like you, we want you to be personally invested in making our company better.

We prefer someone in the bay area because we do our best work face-to-face.

To apply please send us a few sentences about yourself and a link to design that you think will impress us enough to want to give you part of our company. Don't send us a resume; we can worry about that after we've decided that we like your work.
