Role & Responsibilities

The front-end of the portal is amongst the 1st impression with the customers and as many people do believe that 1st impressions are the last impressions, we strive to create lasting impressions. And design is a critical piece of that. The role involves a mix of graphic design, messaging and copywriting with illustrations thrown in. We believe in a simple, clean and cool design/UI that doesn't require the customer to think.

Key responsibilities will be -

• Drive UI & UX decisions - As we keep scaling and adding categories and features, the challenge will be to keep the complexities simple and dummy proof.
• Design and implement public facing pages
• Ensuring our product meets web standards and function across all browsers and devices
• Copywriting - at various customer interface points, including e-mails & key marketing areas
• Taking ownership of the product to drive changes that will help all of the above

Skills/Traits required

• Expertise in JavaScript, HTML, Ajax (PHP is a plus)
• Exceptional visual design & UX sensibility
• Proficiency with photoshop
• Self-driven and passionate to create brilliant online products/features that will help 'make a difference' to people out there
• Really excellent attention to detail
• Open to iterative process of development - there will be continual research and feedback to help improve the product, so an open mindset of 'learning and correcting' on the go is necessary
• Sense of humour
• Active on twitter and facebook is a plus

Benefits - you'll love us.. only if you believe in the following

• Flexible working hours - productivity measured by mutually agreed targets/goals set, not number of hours put in
• Competitive compensation
• It's a startup...so while you have a clear role defined, you get to
  • Expect varied cross-functional interaction (including customer service) - which will increase your learning curve. So we will help you learn if you're willing - that's a promise.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset
  • Be a part of shaping the growth of the company (and a larger cause/change) with feedback and ideas - which will be a mandatory expectation
• Fun culture - hey, in case you haven't noticed, skillzot's kinda non-academic skewed, what does that say about her and we really love stuff like movies, music, traveling, partying, doing new things, so we're gonna find ways to work and play.
• Others - As we keep growing/adding our database, we'll figure ways to tie-up with teachers/classes of skills you want to learn...for free
