Chai Labs (www.chailabs.com) is an early stage stealth consumer Internet startup started by folks from MIT, Stanford, Google and Cisco. We are backed by top Venture Capitalists and angel investors (including Marc Andreessen [co-founder of Netscape] and Reid Hoffman [co-founder of LinkedIn], and are based in downtown Mountain View, an easy walk from Caltrain. We are solving meaningful problems and creating products that will be used by millions of users worldwide.
We are looking for a strong UE Designer to play a key role in design and development of our product offerings. As an integral and early member of our team, you will contribute significantly to our culture and growth. You probably have a few years of experience and should be comfortable doing conceptual and product design work, in addition to design production within a software engineering context. As at all startups, you should be comfortable assuming the various roles in the UE field that are needed to deliver good UE. * You should be data-based and willing to do what it takes to gather usability data, including running simple qualitative studies and literature reviews. * You should be a proficient visual designer -- able to judge visual design and make good layout and visual hierarchy decisions in your work. Direct experience in graphic design and branding is a plus. * You should be technically proficient, able to communicate effectively with webdevs and engineers about what the UI needs. You should be able to learn enough about new technologies to understand their UI limitations and affordances. * Experience in managing contractors -- especially visual design and webdev -- is a bonus. Some of the team is geographically disbursed, so you should not be put off by telecommuting-type working styles and communication methods (videoconference, email, shared online documentation, etc.) Salary is comparable to a midlevel design position at any established Bay Area software firm. Plus, as one of the earliest employees you'd get a significant equity stake in the company.
