UI Designer; FT or PT; North or South America

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m hiring a UI designer to join our small team. Our company embraces 100% remote work and flexible hours. We’re open to hiring full-time or part-time for this position. I’m expecting we’ll have enough work for at least a year; though if it goes well, it could easily continue for years.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Your role will be to:</p> <ol> <li class="MsoNormal">Talk to customers about how our product isn’t currently meeting their needs.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Design solutions that our development team will implement.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Validate the improvements with our customers.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Iterate on this process to continue to improve the product.</li> </ol> <p class="MsoNormal">I’d like to hire you if you:</p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal">Have 3+ years in UI design and experience with customer research.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Are self-motivated and can solve problems independently.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Have excellent written and verbal English skills.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Live in North or South America.</li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal">My company is called Custody X Change. I’ve been working on the business since 2004. We sell a web application that creates co-parenting schedules and plans. It also helps families make difficult decisions post-divorce/separation, and facilities communication between two parents who may not get along very well anymore. All of this reduces a lot of conflict and saves people a ton of money in legal fees.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The biggest problem to solve first is our mobile design. (Our product is a PWA, not a native app.) We designed our product desktop-first, and simply made it responsive for mobile. We’d like to upend that thinking, and design a mobile-first experience instead. Improvements there will also flow into our desktop experience.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">We’ve conducted desktop usability studies, but we haven’t done any mobile-specific user research. Improving our mobile experience will improve user engagement and satisfaction – especially as we validate the changes we make with customers.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">So, if you want to improve a genuinely helpful product, and join a small, distributed team, then we should talk.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">To apply, email me at the address below, and:</p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal">Include your resume in PDF format</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Somehow use the word "lime" in the subject of your email</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Answer the following 3 questions in your email, in this order:</li> </ul> <ol> <li class="MsoNormal">Where do you live?</li> <li class="MsoNormal">Why are you a good candidate for this position? (50-100 words)</li> <li class="MsoNormal">What salary would you be happy making for this fully remote position? Are you wanting a full-time or part-time role?</li> </ol> <p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<br />Ben</p> <p class="MsoNormal">P. S.I want you to be happy working for me. You’ll be evaluated on results, nothing else.</p> <hr class="lis-container__job__content__description__hr">
