Jobs

Elevator Up is looking to hire someone - is that you?

Do we build elevators? Of course not, we've never built an elevator. What we build is only tangible through a computer. Elevator Up is a web hosting and development company focusing on user experience and high availability hosting. We care about providing "Smart.Simple.Solutions." that help solve real business problems. We're a small company that acts and thinks bigger than we are. Small is the new big, and we take pride in that.

UX Designer

What are we looking for?

Elevator Up is growing faster than we can keep up with. Our team needs someone to help tackle many of the ideas and roles currently filling each of our plates, from client work to our own product ideas.

Your Role

Call of duty... We need someone who has the ability to take a vague description of a project and develop an overall plan for a project including the following:

Information Architecture
Design
Front-end coding

What does this mean?

Within information architecture you need to develop sitemaps and wireframes. You need to allow for easy user workflow and develop wireframes or page diagrams to determine the organization of information and outline how much real estate each piece of content and functionality should take throughout the site. Your main goal is to help end users make sense of what your trying to do and where to go next.

In the area of design you, it will be your job to develop the personality for the site. You'll more than likely be using PhotoShop, Illustrator, etc... This is required when taking the wireframes and designing the website to help the site come alive. You need to be able to get a grasp of the details that make up the big picture.

You must be able to hand-code using valid XHTML and CSS (compliant with the W3C web standard).

You should have

Good people skills
The drive to constantly learn new things
Able to clearly communicate in writing
Able to work with small teams doing big things
Work in a start-up atmosphere
Have a good portfolio - we need someone awesome

Small Details

Rate: This is a salary position. We pay people fairly but not interested in broadcasting your potential salary to everyone. If you're seriously interested in who we are and what you'd be doing - we are excited to discuss what your needs will be.
Hours: If you ask this question right off the bat, you're probably not a great fit. We aren't really interested in hours as much as we're interested in people getting the work done. It's important to have a good life/work balance.
