Your education and prior experience should include
- Postgraduate in graphic design, communication design, interaction design, digital media or similar
- At least 4 years of relevant work experience in design (preferably in agencies, design-orientated companies or start-ups)
- Safe handling of common wireframing and design tools such as Figma, Sketch, ?Adobe CC, etc.
- Basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and web frameworks. - Note: This is not for developing but for working most efficiently with our web and front-end developers
- The rare ability to envision design as a system with implications on future outcome and deliverables - ideally backed by experience with software design systems, libraries, and components
- Strong analytical skills to transform complexity into design that works and inspires
- A keen eye for aesthetics, usability and typography with a penchant for precision and detail, to the point of perfection
- Interest in topics and products from the tech, start-up, and development environment
