UX Designer

Marketo is a leader in cloud software and is rapidly growing. We are delighting our customers and hiring some of the best minds. Our headquarters is located in San Mateo, California and we continue to expand globally. We offer competitive salaries, great benefits, and a high-energy environment with lots of room for personal and professional growth.

Designer Characteristics:

1. Creative. Can come up with new solutions to problems.
2. OCD. Does it bother you that their is a misspelling in this question?
3. Productive. We have a lot to do. Lots of context switching and multi-tasking.
4. Concise.
5. Confident. This position will have interactions with lots of people, including executives.
6. Positive. It’s not personal; it’s always about the work.
7. Experienced. Has designed applications before.
8. Smart. Knows designing is hard work.
9. Eloquent. Can explain why.
10. Clever. Can come up with a witty retort to this list.

Job Characteristics:

1. Visual PRDs. These are storyboards in PowerPoint. We use them to define a project in minute detail. This effort is part design and part inbound product management. They are delivered to Engineering, so they want them to be as detailed as possible, while also being created as quickly as possible.
2. UX is not just UI. User Interface Design, Information Architecture, Interaction Design, Graphic Design and even Curriculum Design are all part of user experience and this job entails all of them at some points.
3. Iterating with Engineers. This isn’t an Ivory Tower department. We sit right in the middle of engineers and help drive a project to the highest possible quality in collaboration with engineers and other various groups.

Design at Marketo is a major strategic element that helps differentiate us in the market. The team is small now, so you will have a chance to influence the direction of the company and the team.
