Bring your graphic design, information visualization, interaction design, and software development skills to an award-winning team with an innovative product that combats financial fraud. Memento Security is a venture-backed software company with a collaborative work culture and substantial growth opportunities. We are looking to hire a visual thinker with software development skills to join our product development team in a newly created role: Interaction Designer. Why Visual Thinking in Software Development? For most enterprise software companies, graphic design is usually an afterthought in the software development process. Most software companies only understand the role of graphic design and information visualization to mean things like "icon design", or "better production values". It is no wonder that most enterprise software products do nothing more than meet a basic standard of design and interaction usability. Here at Memento, we know that the images strengthen the message: that great design is a central element of the product development process. We seek to build software products that bring joy to our users every single day. In the Interaction Designer role, you will be responsible for the visual, interactive, and experiential elements of our products. Why Software Development in Graphic Design? There is no better way to make sure your ideas are implemented than to play a role in implementing them yourself. Frank Lloyd Wright designed great homes, but many of them leaked! By participating in the realization of your design and interaction ideas, you will make sure that they work as intended, are bug-free, and actually bring promised joy to real-world users.
