Work at DoubleDutch

The Perks

Office Life

Our company is greatly influenced by our neighborhood - a sunny, "up-and-coming" neighborhood in San Francisco called The Mission. We have the best burritos around, the most exquisite coffee in the world, and more art murals than we know what to do with.

Our team lunch excursions on Fridays are always an adventure (examples include Local Mission Eatery - great croissants in the back), Gracias Madre (vegan mexican that doesn't taste like vegan), The Sycamore (secret back patio, great beer, dog friendly), Sunflower Vietnamese (great for chicken pho on a rainy day), and Dynamo Doughnuts (maple bacon, please).

Among other talents, we are skilled at turning coffee, granola bars, beer, and baby food (yeah, it's delicious) into great products and fantastic customer service. We sit in weird chairs, go to a lot of concerts (The Black Keys was a highlight), and have spontaneous ping pong games throughout the day. You'll get a good sense of what we're up to if you follow us on Instagram.

If you make it up the elevator to the DD headquarters, you will be welcomed by an awesome mix of friendly dogs and the wonderful DoubleDutch team. Come by or connect with us!

Junior Visual Designer

Permalink

We are bringing usability and beauty to the enterprise, and it's no easy task. That's why we are building out our product+design team, and we need a junior visual designer to jump in and start making waves.

The position reports to our product+design lead, and will involve collaborating with him as well as virtually everyone in the company. In a day, you could be designing and building pieces of the website, working with marketing to deliver collateral, and working with engineering to design our admin dashboard. There are always multiple high priority projects, so we need you to take command of your area and prioritize, communicate, and consistently deliver quality. You'll be working with engineering frequently, so basic technical knowledge (or the desire and ability to learn) is important.

If you're up for it, send us an email with a link to your portfolio and a few sentences about how you'd impact our company.

Responsibilities

  • Work with our product+design lead to design our products
  • Own our website
  • Own all collateral (print, web, marketing, etc.)
  • Deliver high quality design with tight deadlines
  • Drink a lot of Grand Coffee

Requirements

  • Experience. 1-4 years of professional design experience

  • Ambition. We want someone who is going to own their area of expertise, with the desire to grow along with the company
  • Opinions. This goes hand-in-hand with communication. You will need to have thoughtful, well-reasoned opinions that encourage arriving at the best solution, and the desire to stand behind them when facing opposition
  • Knowledge. Deep familiarity with Ps, Ai, Fw, Omnigraffle, or your design tool of choice
  • Thirst. Always learning new techniques, styles, and technical things so you can keep up with the engineers
  • Detail. In addition to getting the products right, it comes down to the details. Nothing is perfect, but it should be usable and beautiful
  • Disruption. You'll be building things that will blow up the old guard of enterprise software. That requires new thinking and innovative solutions
  • Smartphone. If you don't obsess over your iPhone, Android, or WP7, then don't bother applying. We build mobile software, and it takes intimate knowledge of their capabilities and paradigms in order to do it well
  • Awesomeness. Talent is great, and certainly appreciated, but you will be working with a world-class team that loves to have fun, so join in and be someone who makes us better
