I left Flickr (love you guys) back at the beginning of December, and recently took a job leading the design efforts at a company called Kosmix ( www.kosmix.com ), which is filled with really smart people, and to date, has a non-unified design presence, and design with the big D has been underrepresented. But that’s a good problem to have, right? I think so. It means it’s a place that my team and I can have a ton of impact.
Kosmix is based in Mt. View and has an office in the city as well. We also work remotely if it makes sense.
I’m building a team from the ground up, and here are the types I’m looking for right now:
2 designers, contract for now, but that could change. You should be a top-notch graphic designer, have a long history of building consumer brands, and really get interaction design. All-rounders are best, as we’re a small team. Senior level for both of these gigs.
2 full-time front-end code folks, a.k.a. web developers. At Kosmix, you’ll be heavily involved in the design process, but might technically have an engineer as a boss.
There are a ton of projects going on at Kosmix, and right now is a chance to get in on the ground floor. It is important to mention that the executive team is fully behind my/our efforts to bring design to the forefront of the product development process, and whoever comes on board will have a chance to really make a difference at this company. The company is financially very healthy, the smarty-pants people are laid back, and the food/beverage selection is better than anywhere else I’ve worked in the past twelve years. Yay!
For more info about any of these jobs, just contact me.
Thanks!
