PagerDuty San Francisco seeks an Exceptional Visual Designer

1 points by agmiklas ↗ HN
You are a design wizard. A master of pixel and color. You can create beautiful web mockups, identity work, online and print collateral, t-shirt designs, you name it. You think our website looks like crap and already have an itch to work on it. As the first visual designer at PagerDuty you’ll have an incredible opportunity to make your mark on all aspects of our brand identity.

The right candidate will be sharp, entrepreneurial, and enthusiastic with a problem solver, go-getter attitude. You have a strong attention to detail - the sort of person who notices when fonts don't match on different pages on a website, or when something's a pixel out of alignment.

Will you be our fearless design leader?

Bonus Points

HTML and CSS skills a plus Experience with web content management systems Experience with basic videography You understand or have had some exposure to the IT/Ops space Experience designing for mobile You are obsessive and passionate about something -- video games, movies, comic books, Hacker News, languages (whatever!)

Benefits

Competitive salary and company equity Generous paid vacation (3 weeks your first year, 4 weeks afterwards), unlimited sick days, regular holidays Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plan options for you and your spouse/family Pre-tax commuter benefits, and flex spending accounts Daily catered lunches and free snacks, drinks, and beer A brand new set of shiny Apple products (laptop of your choice with 27" monitor) Weekly game nights, monthly hack days and impromptu ping-pong battles Convenient office location in SoMA, blocks from BART, Muni and Caltrain public transit
