About the Role
As a member of our User Experience team, you will push your creative, problem-solving and people skills to the fullest. You will contribute to the design of multiple products, working closely with product managers, development leads and other designers. You will study end-users to understand their problems and return to them later to validate your solutions. You will explore creative breakthrough design concepts and sculpt them into practical, real-world solutions.

So what’s so great about designing at SuccessFactors?

- Our standards are very high. We strive for not just pretty good design, but breakthrough solutions.
- Whatever level you are at, we will challenge and grow your skills as a designer
What you will do:
- Study users to deeply understand their SSNiFs (stakeholders, situations, needs leading to the right features)
- Create models that form the theoretical foundation for great solutions: workflow diagrams, flowcharts, storyboards, personas and other models
- Establish a high level vision for the solution
- Collaborate closely with product managers, development leads and other designers
- Create low-fi sketches and wireframes to establish the rough direction
- Create interactive prototypes for user testing
- Test designs with end-users
- Create precise, beautiful, hi-fi mock-ups
- Write thorough design specifications
- Support engineering through the development phase
About your experience:
- Exceptionally strong interaction design background. 5+ years of experience in user interface design for software applications (Web-based applications are relevant, but not Web sites)
- Experience designing consumer or enterprise software, SaaS (on-demand), or transactional web sites (e-commerce, etc.)
- Experience designing for mobile devices: iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, Android
- Experience and comfort researching users and conducting usability testing
- Technical experience including HTML/CSS coding and some programming
- Your academic background doesn't really matter (you should have at least a bachelor's of something)…
- …but your online portfolio showing advanced interactive product design matters a lot
Required Skills:
- Excellent conceptual and big-picture design skills including: user experience architecture, information architecture
- Natural ability to empathize with differing personas
- The ability to discern the essence of the problem, cut through complex problems and generate clean, obvious-in-retrospect solutions
- Exceptionally strong interaction and information design skills
- Comfort representing abstract concepts visually with workflows, wireflows, site maps, concept diagrams
- An eye for aesthetic design - including layout, typography, color, animation
- Strong familiarity with Web 2.0 design patterns and UI toolkits
- Fluent in a range of design tools
- Strong attention to detail. Capable of meeting the highest standards of quality in workmanship
- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills. The ability to write clear copy in user interfaces.
- The persuasiveness to sell and uphold designs
- Ability to conduct user research to discern user needs
- Ability to conduct usability testing of designs
- Reliability. Ability to work independently and manage priorities to meet milestones
The following skills are a plus
- Experience designing simple consumer-grade products
