PEAK6 was brought to life by the idea that the development of integrative technology can improve how business is done. The passion for that idea powers our firm still. As a UX Designer at PEAK6, you will be working on a new, cutting-edge product within the firm (think startup within an established resource driven firm) that will infuse robust analytical capabilities into an innovative performance management platform to create better data transparency for employees.
Working in tech at PEAK6 means that you’ll always be presented with a variety of new possibilities as you continue to enhance your skills.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Establishing the UX vision and strategy. You’ll work closely with our full-stack development team, CTO, and VP of Business Development to define the user experiences of our platform and explore ways to improve business and product relevant.
- Translating requirements. You’ll collaborate with product management and end users to conduct user research and create powerful UI details that promote ease of use and optimize the user experience.
- Working quickly and efficiently. Our environment is high energy and fast paced. You’ll work tirelessly with your teammates to achieve timely deliverables with high performance.
You’ll gain loads of experience in this role but before you do, you should have:
- A strong customer focus. You have a passion for user experiences, understanding user behavior, and creating amazing brand experiences for our users.
- Passion about user behavior. You love to study human psychology semantics, and visual language patterns to understand how to be represent customer needs.
- Flexibility. You’re comfortable trying new things, and you think there’s no such thing as one right way.
- A resourceful approach. You’re scrappy and will do what it takes to achieve results. You understand that calculated risk is necessary in making meaningful changes, and impact how you operate.
- An entrepreneurial mindset. You find building things from the ground up exciting and rewarding. You embrace the challenges and encourage others to find creative solutions.
All of our technologists have these traits. You should, too.
