Interactive designer

Memória Visual is looking for a stellar interactive designer to join our design team and help shape the future of online interaction.

Our projects hit the limelight on Mashable and CNN Money and are growing fast, with over a million unique visitors per month. We’re expanding to several countries in Europe and like to break boundaries in design and technology for the web.

You will have the opportunity to define and create the design for a new community portal, and, like a Matrioska, tackle other challenges lying within, such as displaying realtime information and working with mobile and iPad apps. You’ll deliver this with remarkable aesthetics and mandatory usability.


Inspiring? Here’s our recipe for success…


What you’ll do:

- Define and create the design for our new portal, from concept to release
- Be in charge of user experience, working closely with product development
- Go beyond the news feed, create new concepts for web social interaction, or;
- Social games and apps for mobile and emerging platforms like iPad
- Focus on outstanding design, working with engineering team who handle coding

A good starting point:

- Passionate about the web interactive design
- Fanatical attention to detail, down to the pixel level
- College degree in design or related field
- Solid understanding of information architecture and usability for web interfaces
- Expertise in Photoshop and Illustrator


We:

- Live in a tech oasis with fitness center, tennis, football courts (and a grove)
