Oklahoma City, OK -- Fast Food Lab (UI/UX Designers, Product Engineers, Product Owners)

http://futureof.io/burgers/

We're building a lab with a singular mission: hack the fast food lot. This is our moonshot moment – the chance to re-invent the QSR industry and to transform the restaurant experience via digital screens.

Everyone — not just customers — should love the restaurant experience. Today, it's pretty good, but it's not perfect. From the point of sale, to mobile applications, to employee training, to embedded interfaces, to supply-chain management, we're hacking our systems to make them all better...forever.

Along the way, we'll radically change how restaurants interact with customers. We're making systems that create 1-to-1 communications, that build personalized food experiences, and that learn and get better with every sale.

With your help, we'll build the best interfaces in the industry.

And the best part? It's in Oklahoma. This is your chance to be a part of a movement, to play an integral role in a growing tech community that's bringing economic growth and innovation to the Heartland.

Fair warning: things are run differently around here. Our culture is inspired by a new way of working. Your environment is part-startup, part-end-up:

Have autonomy and a say in your product, without putting in 70 hours a week. Take risks on new ideas, yet have predictable funding and runway. Have permission to fail, without worrying about the company going under. Your team wants you to take 14-day vacations.

Are you at a start-up with a life-span near its finish? Are you a talented member of a team at a popular technology company looking for the opportunity to have more say over what you do? Are you a workhorse at an agency, tired of creating products for promotions instead of real users? Are you an adventurer, looking to be a part of a growing community that's making a huge regional economic difference?

Join us. We're currently accepting inquiries for a spring 2014 start date for an OKC-based role.

- Product Owner: Act as the strategic lead for a new product innovation lab. Create our products' vision, make key decisions without much oversight, and own the tools and resources to build and ship ideas quickly. You’ll be a part of a startup-like environment in a company with millions of existing users.

LEARN MORE HERE: http://futureof.io/burgers/product_owner.html

- Product Engineer: We seek a Full-Stack Product Engineer. You’ll will be involved in all parts of the product development process — you'll brainstorm approaches to the problems we face, work with designers to create mockups and prototypes, test ideas in front of customers, code, ship, and tweak. Your work will evolve into a product that will ship within 6 months of your start date.

LEARN MORE HERE: http://futureof.io/burgers/product_engineer.html

- Product Designer: Ever thought of creating your own product? This is your moment. You’ll have equal say throughout the product development process — from conception, to build, to launch. You’ll create paper prototypes. You’ll meet with customers and transform findings into new interfaces. By turning stories into product ideas and prototyping UX experiences, you’ll work with your team to ship a product within 6 months of your start date.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, absolutely! I am a Brit living in San Francisco and my co-founder is Austrian. We know this process well having been through it personally for both of us and several others in the team. Our philosophy is that we should all have the opportunity to be in the single place on Earth that makes us the happiest and most productive, and we want to encourage you to find that place and help you be there. We have a fantast…

You sound like an amazing CEO :) I really dig the company culture. If Buffer isn't hiring for Summer internships, I suppose hiring for a 16-month internship is out of the question?

Wow, thanks so much. I still have a huge amount to learn :-) Luckily there are a lot of great books out there and mentors around who I can learn from in order to try and become the best CEO I can be.

I think there's a chance a 16 month internship could work, be sure to get in touch :-) If you're self-driven and can add to the team and help us move forward, we'd definitely take a look!
