I'm searching for a talented Senior UI professional who can take a big
idea and develop a killer web application around it. I'd like to get
your perspective on what makes a usability superstar.

The job I'm looking to fill offers salary and an equity stake in a
venture-funded startup that's run by a twice-successful entrepreneur.
It's a wireframe-to-prototype-to-launch role that the company
describes as 'pushing the limits of web-friendly technologies'.

The Opportunity:

Are you the Michaelangelo of Ajax? This stealth-mode startup offers
you the chance to cast, sculpt and engineer a 2.0 masterwork.

As employee number 6 or 7, your job will be to shape the company’s
inchoate intellectual property into a polished web application.

The objective: Digest the founder’s big idea, then craft a web
application welding that promise to seamless user experience and
robust scalability.

Your responsibilities start with envisioning and prototyping a user
interface, pushing the limits of AJAX and its feeder technologies as
you go.

Bottom line? Build something that people love using. (And make sure
it’s ready when they tell their friends).

Who Should Apply:

You use both sides of your brain as a matter of course, applying
creative thinking whether you’re looking at things through a
microscope or 10,000 ft. above sea-level.

When it comes to design and usability, your two favourite words are
‘healthy’, and ‘obsession’. They are also your only words.

You watch re-runs of MacGyver and wonder what took him so long.

You’re the kind of person who says, “Captain! That’s impossible!” Then
solves the problem in 30 minutes using only polyester and a Scottish
accent.

You understand that coding groundbreaking web applications is part
psychology, originality, sociology, sorcery, computer science, math,
and caffeine.

You’ve built successful web apps in the past – and you’ve got the
scars to prove it.

AJAX, XHTML, CSS, DOM, XML/JSON, XSLT, and JavaScript and maybe even
M.A. are on your resume. Your portfolio/resume is like Woodstock for
acronyms.

About The Company:

(This company has not launched publicly, so full details are withheld)

The CEO you’ll be working for is both a savvy investor and pioneering
entrepreneur. Twice a venture capitalist, his portfolio companies sold
for over $100 million and his resume includes the 2002 CVCA Deal of
the Year award.

As an entrepreneur, he led a company to a significant purchase (by
Research in Motion) at a time when many other startups simply
vanished.

This project is backed by Canada’s largest venture firm and operates
from a beautiful office in Toronto’s College-street area.

Perks: (other than the whole visioneering, build-from-scratch, award-
winning thing)

* performance bonus
* stock options
* benefits
* education subsidy
