Looking for a Senior User Experience Designer (contract)

Posted by Ron in Development, Interaction Design on Apr 28th, 2010 |

Currently looking for a full-time/on-site Senior Interaction Designer to work at Microsoft. You will be working on a product team on a new product offering going into the Office Suite. Your impact could be substantial, to say the least. The product is a Silverlight Product, so your knowledge of Silverlight should be high, including capabilities, application experience, and pushing the limits.

Silverlight application experience (not marketing)
Interaction design experience in Microsoft Expression Blend
Rapid prototyping
Knowledge of Server UI and Design Patterns
Help bridge gap between Win32 UI and Silverlight capabilities

Strong User Experience Background. The ability to make rationale judgement calls based on sound principles and the ability to advocate those decisions to other stakeholders and product owners when challenged.

The challenge to this role is also having a strong technical background. The ability to discuss with developers and program managers, the ability to write, edit, and possibly own specs.

The need is immediate and the first step would be to send me a Resume and Portfolio. The next step would be to schedule an interview with you, here at Microsoft.

Send me your Resume in an email
