Website and UI Graphic Designer

at  Viva IT

Not your typical “website designer” role. You will be expected to produce reasoned and insightful graphical interfaces to complex software.
Viva IT is an innovative and exciting software development company. We specialise in creating web-based software to help and grow small to large businesses. Although we have a fully remote workforce, we are centred in the East Midlands, UK.
We believe there are just a few simple things needed to create great software: state of the art technology, a super-fast continuously delivering pipeline of code, a flexible working environment, and most importantly a like minded team people.
We take an hybrid-agile approach to product development, forgoing the traditional vertical structure of management, meaning that even our newest staff will be given opportunities to lead and learn.
Ultimately, we want people who have a compulsion to solve problems, that thrive at being challenged, crave knowledge, aspire to be the best, a desire to deliver value, and most of all, people who have a real passion for the work. People just like us.

REQUIREMENTS

This is an ideal role for a website designer and/or user-interface designer with 2 or more years of experience. This is not set in-stone and we will consider candidates outside of this.
The role is open to full-time, part time or contract basis, however we are primarily looking for a permanent member of the team rather than a freelancer.
To be clear, this role is not solely a general purpose website designer and developer (i.e. Wordpress layouts/themes), but one designing highly intuitive interfaces.

Our ideal candidate will have experience of:

• Mobile first and responsive website design.
• Mobile device interface design (Apps).
• User interface design of web apps
• Excellent skills demonstrating ideas, layouts, prototypes, mock-ups and final assets.
• Analytical and reasoned design whether it is customer facing or a complex interface of a back-office system.
• Excellent skills communicating with stakeholders involved in design projects and developers.
• Good skills using Adobe Creative Suite to produce unique and original designs.
• Modern content management systems (not Wordpress)

This role is focused on interface design rather than development, however the following skills would be useful:

• Print graphic design.
• Small project management.
• CSS3 and HTML5 skills to construct final layouts of a design.
• React and single page apps.
• Static site generators

We have a number of projects at various stages of completion, from ones still at the concept stage to production and in use by large organisations.

• Print graphic design.
• Small project management.
• CSS3 and HTML5 skills to construct final layouts of a design.
• React and single page apps.
• Static site generator
