Job → Junior Designer

ZURB is looking for a Junior Designer to work with our design strategy team. We’re a close-knit team that helps companies design better web sites, services, and products online. We’ve been around over 10 years and have over 75 startups in our client roster. Our clients range from large, well-known companies that we’ve helped for years (e.g., Photobucket, Zazzle, Playlist.com, the New York Stock Exchange) to brand-new startups just finding their feet (Qik, TinyPic). They all came to us based on our reputation of delivering killer ideas that work. We’re creative thinkers, risk takers and refuse to look at our work as just a job. We like fun projects and constantly push each other to get better at our craft.

Need a good reason to join? Here are 17 of them:

1. Food. We stock the cabinets with food. Yeah, it's full of sugar, but we try to throw in some healthy snacks. Cup o' noodles is still a weakness for some of us though.
2. 401k plan. All you have to do is say how much and we do the rest.
3. Health insurance. 100% coverage.
4. And eye care. We also take care of those eyes.
5. And teeth too. We have dental coverage. Got to impress those clients :)
6. Cell phone coverage. Can you hear us now?
7. Profit sharing. We're a team of entrepreneur thinking workers. It's important to us that everyone see the benefits of their hard work.
8. Free dry cleaning. Hate dressing up? We've taken the hard work out of putting on the snazzy dress shirt or blouse.
9. Free house cleaning. Yep, we think getting stuff done at home is just as important as getting stuff done in the office.
10. A growing library. Need a book? Just put it on the wish list and it will be added to the ZURB library.
11. 3 weeks vacation. And all those common holidays too. Work hard, play hard.
12. Lunches. Now and then we like to order sushi, and if you're working late we don't mind chipping in for dinner.
13. Start-ups. Some people go work for start-ups. At ZURB you get to help start start-ups.
14. Challenging work. We believe that everyone has a brain to think - we make you use every last brain cell.
15. Flex-time. Hey, things come up now and then. What's dental coverage when you don't have time to get those teeth drilled.
16. A great team. It's fun to work on great projects, but it's even better to learn something new from a team member.
17. Fun work environment. You see it on other company websites, but we really are committed to making work fun.

What skills do we need?

As a Junior Designer, here are some of the things you'll be expected to do:

• Visual Design - illustrations, icons, compelling visual elements, etc.
• User Interface/Experience Design - wire-framing, weighting elements, boxes and arrows, flow, great common sense
• Front-End Development - XHTML/CSS/Javascript, web standards, frameworks like Prototype.js or MooTools would be cool. Experience integrating with Rails would be great.
• Words - clear explanations, compelling writing, and the occasional clever or funny e-mail
