How to Apply:

At Encompass, we care less about your curriculum vitae and more about who you are as an individual. We don’t have a specific expectation for what a resume should look like, so get creative. This application is your chance to exercise that individuality. We ask for a few specific things in the hard and fast rules, but from there we want you to do you thing.

The hard and fast rules:

• Send an email to [email protected] and include the following line in the subject:  “UI/UX Designer”
• Since you are applying for a designer position at Encompass, we’ll want to see some of your work out in the wild. Show us a publically available project that you are proud of building or contributing to, and identify which assets are yours. This can be something from an old job or just a hobby.
• We’ll also want to get a peek at your style! Send us a link to your Dribbble or Behance account if you have one. If you don’t, just let us know how we can get our hands on your work.
• Tell us two of your hobbies, or how you spend your downtime outside of work. After 12 hours of pixel-pushing, how do you unwind?
• You’re halfway through a deadline to deliver a full suite of mobile assets to the front-end developer by the end of the current sprint this week. During the daily stand-up meeting, the Product Manager requests a full redesign of all 10 of our reporting templates due to some strong feedback we received from our biggest customer. These changes need to be done and over to the dev team in 48 hours or less. You don’t have the capacity to deliver on both deadlines. What do you do? There is no wrong answer, just walk us through your thought process for tackling this problem.
