Automattic Is Hiring a Designer

Posted on by

As a designer at Automattic, you’re responsible for making sure the amazing things our engineers can create are both easy to use and easy on the eyes. Rather than churning out design after design for a multitude of clients, you’ll focus intensely on every aspect of the design of a product — from the way we advertise and market the service to the smallest details of its user interface. You’re designing for the web, yes, but you’re doing so with an old-school dedication to simplicity and clarity.

It’s not quite Sanibel Island, but pretty close. Usual is between 6-900ms. Kinda missing my Montreal 19ms latency (and greater than 0.07 Mb/s upload speed). Getting it all back in three days. :)
