#About Us:

CrowdFlower is changing the way work gets done. We build a quality control system that distributes work to millions of people around the world, and analyzes the results to guarantee the highest possible accuracy. We're 50 people based in the Mission District of San Francisco, have a ton of plants in the office, and a real business model.

#The Job:

We're looking for a designer that loves the web and has designed and marked-up high profile production applications. At CrowdFlower, we're building our next generation platform and that means lot's of new interfaces. As a Lead Designoper, you'll be interfacing closely with our 15 person engineering team and 3 person product team to define and implement data driven interfaces.

Our applications are used by thousands of people every hour around the world. Everything our engineers do has real and tangible impacts. You won't be just another cog in the machine.

  • Distilling complex requirements into simple interfaces
  • Defining the future of CrowdFlower's platform
  • Exposing new functionality and data within the core CrowdFlower platform
  • Inventing interfaces for defining and analyzing crowdsourced work
  • Work closely with data scientists and product to define new features in the platform

##Must-have:

  • Prior experience hacking on at least one significant production-level web app
  • Experience in writing HTML and CSS (we use bootstrap, less, etc)
  • Killer design aesthetic, knock our socks off
  • An interest in data visualization (we love Tufte)
  • The ability to manage your time and projects yourself. We don't micromanage

##FTW:

  • Crowdsourcing – the name of our game – big ups if you're familiar
  • Javascript skillz - Especially D3 or Ember.js
  • An interests in stats or math - we're a bunch of nerds...
  • Experience with mobile or responsive design
  • Git skills, and GitHub repos full of cool stuff you've hacked on.
