The future of search is so much more than 10 blue links on a white background. It is our constant companion as we move through our world. It’s what we turn to answer our questions, discover where we want to go tonight, even find our way home.

Come join Bing UX, where we have been reimagining the way people see and interact with search for the last 5 years. We’re on a mission to reset expectations about how search looks, acts, and sounds. To make it visually distinct. To deliver it wherever people need it. And to support them as they strive to know more, do more, and be more.

Is your Pinterest wall filled with modern poster designers? Do you get excited by the Pantone Color System? Do you constantly critique the typography on restaurant menus? As a Bing Visual Designer you will need to be creative, flexible, and play many roles. You will need to be incredibly hands on and have passion for your designs. You will be assigned to multiple projects for cross platform search experiences and help cultivate an environment of sustained creativity and growth.

Requirements:
3+ years (post education) related UX design experience in product, company or agency.
BA/BS in design or related field, with significant industry experience. MA/MS in interface, graphic, information design a plus but not required.
An in-depth understanding of HTML, and the capabilities of web browsers is essential.

Desired Skills:
Understanding of visual design capabilities, including composition, layout information hierarchy, typography and color.
Experience and a working understanding of how to apply user research data
Excellent verbal / written communication and presentation skills.
Must be fluent in the Adobe Creative Suite: Photoshop, Illustrator, and Fireworks.
