ABOUT US:

SimpleTexting is a tight team of digital professionals who develop and operate a compelling text message marketing software platform—much like MailChimp, but for SMS marketing. Businesses of all sizes in the U.S. and Canada use us for their SMS campaigns. As a leading player in the text marketing SaaS space, we strive to provide a seamless web-based (and soon to be app-based) software product that lets businesses send mass text messages to their subscribers.

WE WANT:

A seasoned user experience and interface design professional who can help us improve the yet-to-be-released version of SimpleTexting—2.0. Version 2.0 is mobile-first and strives to provide a consistent experience across desktop, tablet, and mobile.We think we’re 75% there, and we’re searching for the right fit to take us to the next level and get us to 100%. The right candidate knows how to work in a modern and agile remote work environment. Must be self-motivated and exceptional.

• Lead regular design reviews and conduct usability tests
• Create documentation that enables software developers to build software that fosters a delightful user experience
