You are a passionate, curious and rigorous user experience designer. An exponent of evidence-based, human-centred design, you strive to create experiences that serve users, whether through one-off installations and exhibitions, web or physical product experience.

If we only have ten years to save the world, then you agree with us that saving the world should be delightful, intuitive and fun.

Produce final UI assets including iconography, illustration, animation, typography and layouts
Use data and user testing to inform UI decisions, and promote the importance of UI internally and externally to clients
Help define and document house standards for UI components and visuals; UI guidelines; and brand tone & manner to educate both internally and externally (with our clients)
Manage multiple projects and deliver them on time, to spec and with an appropriate level of communication.

Python or Ruby Web Developer

More Associates is a ground-breaking sustainable design practice based in Central London. We work with corporations, governments and NGOs, using design, technology and user-centred research to address the most exciting social and environmental challenges of our time.

You are an experienced web developer who loves building rich, compelling web applications that make the most of web technologies. You have excellent Python OR Ruby skills, are strong in back-end web development, and have substantial experience using Django OR Rails in a production environment. Ideally, you are equally strong in client-side technologies, and you know your box model hacks and image replacement techniques.

You believe in documentation, test-driven development and are happy using collaboration tools such as SVN and GIT, and running and deploying against release schedules. You are comfortable with the user-centred design approach and feel that the end users of your work are the most important drivers in the development process. You are technically agnostic, and open standards will normally be your first choice. You relish being a key part of a committed, fast growing team.

Ideally, like us you are passionate about creating social and environmental benefit through your work. If we only have ten years to save the world, then you agree with us that it should be done with efficient, elegant and maintainable code.
