Job Description

Flipside Innovation is excited to hire for a new and fast growing government program. This team is redefining the foundations of technical application integration and setting new expectations for usable, elegant user interfaces. We are looking for a UX designer who will join a small team of elite creatives. You will collaborate with product managers and engineering teams to create meaningful and cohesive experiences through a deep understanding of our customers and exceptional design execution.

The ideal candidate is an all-around designer with UX, interaction and visual design skills. You should have a passion for empathizing with the needs and behaviors of our customers and want to help mission.

You Will:

• You will figure out what a user will need to be successful and then look to see if we have tools that are already available, or if we need to make something new.
• Design and optimize interfaces for all aspects of a connected ecosystem.
• Deal in both the fast and thoughtful. You will develop and execute experiments to solicit feedback.
• Articulate user journeys with scenarios, storyboards and presentations, low- and high-fidelity mocks, detailed interaction specs, and prototypes to effectively communicate interaction and design ideas.
• Bring the essential mix of strategic and empathetic thinking to the table, always thinking about what’s going to move mission forward.
• Advocate for the user and will push back against a pendulum that’s swinging too far away from what’s in the best interests of users.
• Influence the product vision and strategy through storytelling, analytics, and framing problems for a diverse audience of stakeholders and executives, helping them envision the opportunities.
• Set an example and create opportunities to foster collaborative cross-discipline dynamics.

Qualifications

• 5+ years designing and shipping software design experiences end-to-end.
• Bachelor or Master Degree in the study of Design including one of the following; Design, Information Architecture, Human Factors or equivalent project/portfolio experience.
• Proven track record shipping high quality products and interactive experiences for responsive web platforms.
• You know high quality design might not mean that it's perfectly polished, but rather that it has enough polish to get you to the next phase, if the objective is just to learn but not to ship.
• Creative and scrappy mindset. You will figure out what a user will need to be successful and then look to see if we have tools that are already available, or if we need to make something new.
• You enjoy working in dynamic teams and are adept in conveying conceptual ideas as well as detailed designs.
• You have clear, concise and transparent communication style.
• You are self motivated and see ambiguity as opportunity.
• Must have an active TS/SCI with a polygraph.
