Create beautiful web pages and experiences that delight users and achieve business goals.
Design wireframes and pixel-perfect hi-fi designs to meet business needs balancing UX, SEO, CRO, and other business goals.
Develop UI mockups and prototypes that clearly illustrate how sites function and look.
Gather and evaluate user requirements in collaboration with the product manager and engineers.
Illustrate design ideas using storyboards, process flows, and sitemaps.
Design graphic user interface elements, like menus, tabs, and widgets.
Identify and troubleshoot UX problems.
Proactively speak with users directly and via surveys and other tools to understand evolving needs and suggest future changes and opportunities.

Qualifications : Requirements :

Have 2 to 5 years of design experience.

Thrive in a fast-paced, results-driven environment with varied responsibilities and challenging assignments.

Rock design tools like Figma.

Communicate ideas easily verbally and in writing with engineers and marketing.

Prefer to experiment with new designs and use data to drive decisions.

Listen to customers, partners, and teammates, and respond well to feedback.

Embrace Web Usability, User-Centered Design, & Agile methodologies.

Feel passionate that ‘success is in the details as much as in the ‘big picture’.

Love managing multiple projects simultaneously and hit deadlines, using the 80 / 20 rule as your mantra.

Are known to friends and colleagues as cheerful, with a good sense of humor and a positive attitude.

Enthusiastically and proactively help beyond the bounds of your day-to-day role.

Ship quickly and adjust your process to fit the needs of an early-stage startup.

In a perfect world, you would...

Have experience in consumer marketplaces, e-commerce, or other transaction-oriented consumer web apps preferred.

Know SEO and how to balance it with UX.

Have previously thrived in a true early startup experience (from Bootstrap to Series B).

Understand and have helped design for online niche communities and / or gaming products.

Additional Information

All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines. Must work in Travelstride’s Austin office (though we are partially remote for the time being due to COVID).

Why work with us? The benefits :

Seed-funded startup comp package with generous stock options and rapid increase potential.

4,000 annual vacation credits through our travel partners.

Fun, driven, cohesive coworkers and team spirit - Regular company lunches and happy hours plus quarterly team outings & parties.
