What? An HN job posting that isn't for an engineer? Madness!

If you're passionate about UX, come work at a company that aims to revolutionize the field!

GazeHawk is looking for someone to join our 3-person team. We're a well-funded YC startup making eye tracking affordable and commonplace. We have a patent-pending technology that lets you run eye tracking studies without custom hardware or software. The biggest challenge now is figuring out how best to expose it to our customers (and who our customers are).

====

You'll get to pick your own title, but here's a subset of your responsibilities:

- Design things: reporting panels, tester experiences, landing pages, our website, etc

- Provide input into the interaction design of new features/workflows

- Help us figure out what UX folk such as yourself want (and help us build it!)

====

Two challenges we're currently working on (there are more we can share offline ;-) ):

1) Eye tracking gives you a ton of data with a lot of dimensions. We want to show that data to our users in the most effective and actionable way possible.

2) We have a lot of potential customers: from designers to big agencies to small business owners. Their experience with eye tracking ranges from intimate to non-existant. How do we effectively communicate our value proposition (and what differentiates ourselves from the competition) while not boring the experts or confusing the inexperienced.

====

Things that make you seem awesome:

- A rocking portfolio

- A desire to be at a startup (and acknowledgement of the stress that comes with it)

- Love of the UX/design communities and a desire to get paid to interact with them

- Appreciation of a solid UX process balanced with the ability to "get shit done" when need be

Bonus points (in descending order of importance):

- HTML/CSS

- Javascript

- PHP

- Ping Pong

====

Job nitty-gritty:

- Full-time position (though we're open to you consulting first to see if there's a good fit)

- We provide benefits (health, vision, and dental), equity, and a competitive salary

- We're in Mountain View (on Castro St)

====

Email jobs@gazehawk.com with whatever it takes to convince us you're awesome (A resume and/or portfolio are a good start)
