About PayPerks
PayPerks is a VC-backed, fintech and marketing startup based in Flatiron, NYC that is building a pioneering education and loyalty platform revolutionizing financial services for millions of low and middle income consumers. Through contracts already in place, millions of users will soon have access to PayPerks, and that’s just the tip of a huge iceberg. Our partners are big, our market is big, and our impact on society will be big. We’ve been recognized by the White House, called the “Next Big Thing in Prepaid” and have a for profit, social impact mission. This will make your mom proud.
We’re looking for a User Experience Designer to help us build out our core product. You’ll contribute to the overall product strategy through concept generation and prototyping, working closely with product managers and designers on our close-knit agile team, where you’ll make sure that our products are intuitive, accessible and usable as we scale to tens of millions of users. The ideal candidate is self directed, can create order from ambiguity, and brings with them a set of experiences and best practices that will help them truly own the user experience design process at PayPerks.
We are creating a brand new platform that combines sweepstakes games, visual financial education, and information about financial products and services that needs to be trusted, engaging, intitutive and fun for a diverse audience with varying levels of experience using the web and mobile web. You will be involved in all facets of interaction design for our responsive web platform, including embedded integration with our partners’ web and mobile apps, as well as any mobile apps we develop in the future.
Responsibilities

- Create storyboards, wireframes, mockups, and experience prototypes to guide development
- Iterate on design based on user feedback, user research, tech constraints, market dynamics

About You
- 3+ yrs experience in UX roles at a consumer focused tech or media company
- You have a deep understanding of requirements gathering, user testing, information architecture and interaction design
- Ideally have some HTML & CSS, and JavaScript skills for rapid prototyping purposes
- Familiarity with responsive design for mobile interface
Perks of working at PayPerks include:
- Competitive compensation package with equity and great health benefits
- Work in the center of New York City’s tech startup scene
- Help create the PayPerks culture as an early member of our team
