Principal Designer on new Visiontyping team @ eBay

[Preston Smalley]

Join a newly formed “visiontyping” team where you will envision how the eBay user experience should evolve based on opportunities we have in the eCommerce space and customer pain points. You will partner closely with front-end UI engineers to prototype your vision and bring it to life and take advantage of technology trends.

* Lo-fidelity prototypes illustrating interaction patterns .
* Presenting prototypes (you jointly build with a UI engineer) to execs within eBay.

SKILLS
* Clear verbal communicator with the ability to effectively present your work to both design and non-design audiences (e.g. business, technology teams).
* Proficient at solving business problems by facilitating a user-centric design process.
* Solid grasp of web design principals and a good understanding of front-end web technologies (e.g. XHTML, CSS, JavaScript/AJAX, Flash)
* Adept at using Adobe Fireworks/Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Flash/Flex CS4
