Periscope -- San Francisco -- User Experience Designer

Periscope is a data analysis tool that uses pre-emptive in-memory caching and statistical sampling to run data analyses really, really fast.

The slick UI and impressive backend speed sell the product, but the most important feature is the way the user experience encourages sharing and collaboration on charts and dashboards. Periscope spreads data throughout an organization, eventually instigating a culture change that makes the company more data-driven.

One customer recently said of Periscope: "It moved our data out of a closet and into a storefront."

We're hiring our first user experience designer, who will own this experience.

About You

   - You love the way that great user experience design enables users and makes them feel powerful within the product.
   - You have great respect for how the little details impact user behavior and happiness.
   - You understand that execution speed is a feature, and are comfortable with tradeoffs and making calls on the fly.
   - You have a demonstrated track record of shipping designs in modern web or mobile apps.

About Us

   - We're a team of 4 ex-Google and Microsoft PMs and engineers with venture funding, paying customers, and a spacious loft apartment in SF to work out of.
   - We consider our design that enables frictionless sharing and collaboration to be our most important feature.
   - We strongly favor rapid shipping over endless review and iteration.
   - We have close relationships with our customers. We see customers several times a month, and email with them several times a week.

A public, profitable company that is very engineering friendly. I'm a software developer inside the company.

A variety of positions are open across a variety of languages: Node.js, Ruby (Sinatra and Rails), Perl, PHP, Java, as well as non-developer roles (DB Admin, etc.)

The job positions don't state it, but I was hired into a position as a remote/WFH worker, so I would imagine that the possibility is open to other people as well. The company also has offices in a variety of locations if being remote is not for you: New York NY, San Francisco CA, Denver CO, Berlin, Paris, London, etc.. If you work near the mothership, we have a pretty swank office space: http://www.shutterstock.com/blog/look-inside-shutterstocks-n...

I'm not sure if I'd get a referral bonus for this, but tell them that I sent you.

Hey everyone, hope your April is off to a killer start! Like in last month's Who is hiring I wanted to share all our numbers for complete transparency. March just came to a close and Buffer stands at 1.4M total users served by a small 21 person team spread across 14 cities and 5 continents. 130,000 of our users are actively using the product each month. We generated $350,000 in March, and we have $580,000 in the bank…

I'm a college student who is studying finance and computer science right now. Naturally, startups are extremely interesting to me. Your level of transparency helped me better understand fundraising, equity structures, and how to think of financial operations. A refreshing and inspiring post for someone in my shoes - thank you!
