Position Summary:
Designers are involved in nearly everything Automatic does. From software and hardware to marketing and business development, design plays a central role here, and that's how we like it.
You'll focus on creating polished product experiences for iPhone, Android and the web while shaping product features from concept to completion. You'll be joining a small team of UX and design generalists, each with a range of skills and at least one deep specialty. You'll work closely with a product manager and engineers throughout the entire product development process.
You'll have the space to generate new ideas without worrying about practicality too early, but a strong design process will help you know when it's time to move on to execution. You'll move quickly and methodically together with the team, with plenty of opportunities to pair up and collaborate.
