BookBub’s millions of members crave simple and intuitive new ways to discover great books ­ can you help us conceive, design and build them?

BookBub is a rapidly­growing startup launched by serial entrepreneurs in 2012. Millions of readers use BookBub every day to find great books. Our service helps thousands of leading publishers and authors drive sales and find new fans. Connecting readers with great deals on ebooks is just the beginning for BookBub. We're growing our team to launch new consumer­facing book discovery features, tools for authors and publishers, and other web and mobile products that address the digital transition of the publishing industry.

 

About this Position

As a consumer business, product design is critical to our success. We are looking for a person who has the eye, experience, and intuition to help us create amazing new products. You will work closely with our founders, visual designers, product managers and engineers to continuously build and test new products and features.

 

Is This You?

You may or may not have a classic art school background, but after several years of experience building web applications or mobile apps, you have developed a deep understanding of UX standards and triggers. Building engaging experiences has enabled you to develop excellent consumer behavior instincts and the intuition to know what is needed to drive certain user actions. You’re probably an expert in Balsamiq, Adobe CS, or some other tools for rapidly building mockups and wireframes. It is critical that you have a good eye for simple, effective designs that reduce complex usability issues into simple interfaces.

A Few Key Requirements:

  • 2­-7+ years focused on user experience on complex mobile or web products (not just static websites)
  • 2+ years working on a small team in an iterative environment

Bonus Points

  • We really love people who’ve worked at consumer technology companies
  • Experience mentoring other UX teammates

Benefits

BookBub offers competitive benefit options including medical, dental, vision, 401k, and take-what-you-need PTO.

BookBub strives to be an inclusive workplace and we value learning from different perspectives. We seek to foster an environment filled with people from a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
