UX Designer, Texas

Job Description

As Travelstride’s lead UX Designer, you will work with the founder, product manager and a team of developers to create and improve engaging and satisfying user experiences with new platform features for both travelers and travel companies. As the only full-time designer at this early-stage company, you will be responsible for the complete user experience as well as the look and feel of our products. You will help develop new ideas through research and testing.

You are both a strategic thinker and a tactical doer - eager to roll up your sleeves and do all design work as necessary for both the core product and also to support marketing and other company initiatives

To thrive in this role, you would possess a unique blend of UX, design, business, and technical savvy; a big-picture vision, and the drive to make that vision a reality with a ‘get it done’ attitude.

Does lower base salary, big challenges, bigger impact, talented colleagues, high equity and financial bonus upside, and fun team environment sound good for you? Read on!

On our team, you will:

Create beautiful web pages and experiences that delight users and achieve business goals

Design wireframes and pixel perfect hifi designs to meet business needs balancing UX, SEO, CRO and other business goals

Develop UI mockups and prototypes that clearly illustrate how sites function and look
