Digital Designer (User Experience & User Interface)

SymSoft is a design and technology company looking for a Digital Designer (UX / UI) to join our fast-growing design team in North Natomas — one of the most convenient Sacramento neighborhoods right here in the heart of California.

Your skills in delivering compelling visual designs will contribute to our award-winning digital solutions. You will work with high-profile organizations to improve how they deliver content and provide services to end customers.

This is a fulltime onsite position.

• Design digital interfaces, with a focus on information and interactions for enterprise and government organizations that have a lasting impact on the end customers.
• Bring design to life. We value all types of visual and interactive prototyping. Work with the team to communicate design ideas to the stakeholders in the most efficient fashion.
• Contribute to important decisions about the way our websites and products look, feel, and interact. Establish standards for the visual design quality and present best-practices to the project team and your peers.
• Understand and advocate for the customer. Work with UX researchers (or conduct your own research) from initial customer discovery through to visual attitude and usability testing.
• Design with accessibility and inclusion in mind. Understand WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 accessibility guidelines and recommendations.
• Grow. Further develop your skills, and learn how to take ownership of important aspects of the design beyond structural and surface design.
• Collaborate. Work with a team whose diversity of approaches brings variety to your ideas and design solutions. Utilize different team members’ skills to deliver the best results.
• Deliver. Use a progressive enhancement approach and prioritize the must-have over the nice-to-have assets and features.

• Strong understanding of the elements of visual design — typography, photography, color and layout.
• Experience collaborating with and presenting to cross-functional teams with different backgrounds.
• Awareness of how design patterns and front-end frameworks affect the design process. Every design decision will influence the final design system and technical implementation.
• A responsive design approach that favors proportions over pixels and multi-resolution environments.
• Strong interpersonal, written and oral communication skills.
• Desire to contribute to meaningful projects.
• A good sense of humor.

To be considered for this role, please submit a resume and portfolio with examples of process and evolution of work (not only the final results).
