SendGrid is looking for a passionate, talented designer to join our UI/UX team and shepherd our marketing website. We offer everything you could want for a creative individual ... a great product, incredible culture, beautiful Thunderbolt monitors, and engaging design problems.

You won't design in a silo here. You will work in close collaboration with other designers, marketing, engineering and business teams to create elegant customer-focused designs that provide customers with a superior user experience.

The ideal candidate will exhibit a natural passion and capacity to advocate on behalf of our customers, and will possess an innate sense for providing polished and responsive interfaces that minimize complexity and communicate to customers and prospects the culture, capabilities and value of SendGrid.

What You'll do

• Create lo-fi wireframes to quickly prototype ideas, and to make sure the design meets our business and customer requirements
• Design detailed, pixel-perfect user interfaces, primarily for our marketing website
• Follow and advance SendGrid's design principles and brand guidelines
• Be an advocate for the SendGrid Customer
• Be available to work closely with our Engineers to make sure we are creating the best possible user experience that can be implemented successfully.
• Design with data - gather research to make sure the design is truly solving a problem (the right problem)
• We're an agile, fast growing company and this job description isn't meant to be a complete list of your qualifications or all the things you'll do

About You

• You have a great portfolio showcasing modern interactive design (send us your Dribbble account too if you can)
• Excellent understanding of typography and layout
• Show strong understanding of design tools such as Sketch, OmniGraffle, Photoshop, Illustrator and HTML/CSS
• Experience with designing for A/B testing and driving conversions
• Experience in responsive design
