Edge Webware is hiring : UI / UX Designer and Developer in Miamisburg

Description

We are looking for a UI / UX Designer / Developer who will be responsible for conceptualizing interface layouts, designing those layouts using appropriate software, and developing the front-end code within various Web platforms (e.g., CMSs, eCommerce systems, etc.). Interface layouts (e.g., websites, Web applications, mobile apps, touch screen displays, etc.) are typically created in wireframing software, such as Adobe XD or Axure. Designs are created from these layouts by using software such as Adobe XD and / or Photoshop.

A strong understanding of both visual design and user experience, including at least basic usability skills, are critical aspects of the layout and design responsibilities of this position. This team member will understand how to incorporate a client’s branding and aesthetic preferences into designs, including working with the clients directly when needed, while also possessing a strong working knowledge of UI / UX best practices, design / interaction patterns, and content organization.

A lower to mid-level understanding of front-end coding technologies, and a willingness and ability to learn at least basic scripting and / or Object-oriented programming (OOP) language skills are critical aspects of the development portion of this position (e.g., using PHP to create front-end page templates in a CMS). Our team can train most of what we need for this skill set. However, this individual is expected to be eager to learn and add these skills relatively quickly.

This position will also act as a technical liaison between the development team and the Digital Marketing team (SEO and Paid Ads), providing technical support for various Digital Marketing team needs (e.g., markup audits for SEO, Google Tag Manager setup and troubleshooting, etc.).
