We are well financed, with leaders, investors, and advisors who have a real track record of success.

We believe that the shortest path to the best user experience is through iterations and continuous user testing. Our truly collaborative culture is hard to beat.
As the design lead for the company, you’ll work closely with folks in product, engineering, marketing and business development to define and validate the entire user experience. You’ll ensure that the products and features that we build are and continue to be simple, intuitive and meeting the needs of our customers.

· Communicate and collaborate with teams to iterate on the design
Qualifications:
· Excellent UI design skills and an outstanding portfolio of interactive projects
