Senior Mobile Designer at Reverb.com
Why it's cool: Let’s talk office culture: Reverb is run by employees who double as musicians, which means an impromptu office jam session after lunch is never out of the question. Oh, and we’ve heard they’ve got an awesome new office—probably with awesome acoustics.
What you'd do: As a mobile designer, you’ll be in charge of designing experiences that are unique to the mobile context and take advantage of the medium. They want you to push the boundaries of how mobile apps can make the Reverb experience better and more engaging.
Who they're looking for: If you've got at least four years of experience as designer and can demonstrate your fluency in mobile app and responsive design, you’re right on track. Reverb also needs you to be self-directed—with the ability to give and receive constructive criticism.
