UX Specialist
Viget Labs is a full-service web consulting and development firm based in Falls Church, VA. We've been at it since 1999 and have earned a solid reputation as a rare firm that does both great design and development work when building award-winning web sites. We work with web start-ups (e.g, Squidoo, Mutual Decision, and a few we can't talk about yet), as well as traditional businesses (e.g., LaborLogix), non-profits (e.g., EarthEcho, Healthy Child), and entertainers (e.g., Brian Regan, Blaine Larsen).
We recently launched www.teamviget.com to make sure our message is loud and clear (and irresistibly beautiful): if you've got what it takes, you should come join the team!
Our UX Specialists:
- Never tire of researching what users really want (and conducting his or her own research to validate or disprove those findings).
- Have an innate sense of – and strong opinion about – good usability when it comes to web applications, and an ability to clearly articulate both.
- Conceptualize and articulate complex ideas, then document them (using substantive, informed wireframes, site maps, flowcharts, personas, and use-case scenarios) to drive decisions, facilitate understanding, and reach consensus.
- Expertly present recommendations – to team members and clients, alike – on elements such as functionality, content, and navigation that are considerate of project scope and phasing.
- Have a proven record of success in managing web projects from straightforward marketing sites to complex web-based products that require loads of custom development.
- Enjoy working with agile development teams for start-up clients and helping those clients focus on realistic deliverables.
- Have a perfectionist nature, but won’t lose momentum because of it.
- Meet deadlines without breaking a sweat (okay, maybe a little sweat).
- Play well with others – and take pride in his/her communicative and collaborative abilities.
- Understand established interactive technologies and possess an undying thirst to learn about new ones.
- Are experts on the latest trends, methods, and tools in the web industry.
To be considered to work at Viget Labs, you should exhibit these characteristics too.
UX Specialists must also:
- Have at least 2 years of professional, post-collegiate experience.
- Have a BS, BFA, or equivalent work experience in areas such as graphic or industrial design, computer science, fine arts, or a related field.
