Hey folks – we’re looking to hire. Here’s the gig:

User Experience/Web Designer

Red Giant is an awesome software tools provider. The company builds kick-ass tools for visual effects production. The company has an office in Portland, Oregon but our employees are spread out all over the world, giving us a reach far beyond the small team of employees.   If you feel like you have what it takes, this might be the best company you will ever work for–we really mean that.

Red Giant is looking for a User Experience Designer with a proven track record of outstanding conceptual design, information architecture, interaction design, and visual design skills. You will be responsible for the redesign of our store and shopping cart experience and will be using both your user interaction and design skills as you build out workflows, wireframes and final visual design. You must have the ability to successfully collaborate with other designers, product managers, and engineers to develop innovative, user-friendly and intuitive workflows that adhere to and help create an exciting and productive shopping cart experience. The ideal candidate for this position possesses a solid understanding of user-centered design principles, absolute comfort working with HTML and CSS, excellent visual design skills, great technical know-how, and proven expertise in designing for the Web.

This is a temporary contract position with opportunities for a permanent position within Red Giant Software.  We are looking for someone based in Portland, OR.

Responsibilities:

Delivering UI wireframes and design concepts
• Delivering final visual designs, along with HTML and CSS

Requirements:

• Solid academic background in human-computer interaction or related field.
• Proven record of designing usable web-based interfaces with technical skills around HTML and JavaScript.
Strong, clean visual design sense.
• Experience with ecommerce sites and design strongly preferred
Excellent leadership, communication and teamwork skills.
• Familiar with RG Products is a bonus

If your interested please send a resume along with the most current examples of your work to mandi (AT) redgiantsoftware.com.

I’m going to keep this short and sweet – Red Giant is hiring. We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Magic Bullet product team. If that’s all the info you need, you can grab the job description here.

It’s tough to keep this short and sweet, though, because I really feel like this is a special opportunity. I love working at Red Giant; it’s really an amazing place to work. Ask any of us. Actually, if you know any of us personally, you’re probably really tired of hearing about what a great place it is. So, when it comes time to recruit someone to the team, I feel a bit like I have a golden ticket to hand out!

I’m not just talking about working on amazing products (though that helps!). I’ve personally worked at a number of different companies that have developed some pretty amazing products. Red Giant approaches the work/life relationship differently than any other workplace I’ve been part of. If you want to hear more and think you have the skills we’re after, just grab the job description here and drop me a line – I’d love to hear from you!

I know most of you who read this blog are our customers and not necessarily software developers yourself. Feel free to pass this along to your software developer friends – let them know about a unique opportunity to join a great company.

Thanks,

Andrew Cheyne – Red Giant’s Engineering Manager
