We’re looking for a Product Designer to join our team in San Francisco.

We are seeking a web-focused Product Designer to work alongside the growing and exceptionally talented Product Design team at Ellation, where we are actively building our core products—Crunchyroll and VRV.
Why is this role important for our work?
As a Product Designer focused on web, you’ll be working closely with other designers, product managers, and user researchers to conceive of the best possible solutions for user and business challenges.

• Act as a champion for high caliber design throughout Ellation
• Occasionally shoot other people with Nerf guns
What you need:
• Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Product Design, or related design field (or applicable experience)
• 2+ years of product design experience for web, shipping your work to the public

• Experience writing HTML & CSS using SASS or LESS
• Familiarity with Wordpress and PHP
• Familiarity with building emails
• Expert skills in modern design programs like Sketch and Adobe Creative Suite apps
• Experience working in an Agile development environment, and using Jira and Confluence

• You have built your own web portfolio from scratch
• You have experience writing Javascript and/or JQuery
• You are an uplifting personality
Please include with your application:
• A full resume
• A cover letter is always appreciated
• A portfolio with examples of web product design (examples must include live demos of your work; should not be just flat images)
Benefits:
• Competitive salary
• Medical, dental, vision, STD, LTD, and life insurance
• Health care and dependent care FSA
• 401(k) plan with employer match
• Employer paid commuter benefit
