INRIX is growing steadily, adding new employees and striking new partnerships for its real-time transportation data and predictive analytics platform. Reflecting that growth, one of the company’s current openings is a unique opportunity: Director of Design.
The Kirkland-based company is looking for “a visionary design leader to drive all concept, interaction, user experience and visual design for its products and build out a world-class consumer design team and discipline.”
INRIX says in its GeekWork listing, “Today, commuting by car or public transportation can be slow, aggravating, and well… painful. In this position you’ll have the power to keep millions up to date and in control of their daily schedules and commutes, just for starters. This role owns the voice of the consumer which means tasks like user research are vital to solving these problems.”
“You’ll also have the freedom to propose brand new consumer products and user scenarios in which INRIX provides value to millions of consumers multiple times a day. This is bigger than navigation – you will be at the intersection of Big Data and I3oT, and there are whole new product categories to invent.”
That’s one of the current highlights from GeekWork, GeekWire’s jobs site. Continue reading for more of this week’s top openings, hand-picked from the featured listings on the site, and search for more open positions here.
