Description

About myDevices:
By 2020, there will be 50 billion connected “things”. In fact, there are already more devices than humans. myDevices develops middleware platforms for the Internet of Things. Companies that manufacture, sell and support connected devices and services are enabled to efficiently connect their products, manage their data, and engage with their customers.

We do this by developing mobile and web applications for their end users and enterprise backend tools to analyze business data, create marketing opportunities, and provide enhanced customer support. myDevices is the first platform of its kind to offer a backend connected device solution for the enterprise and an interconnected front-end solution for the end user.

Interaction Designer
Design and user experience (UX) are at the forefront of everything we do. The job of an Interaction Designer is to envision how people experience our product and bring that vision to life in a way that feels inspired, refined and even magical. In an Interaction Designer role, you’ll tackle complex tasks and transform them into intuitive, accessible and easy-to-use designs for millions people around the world—from the first-time user to the sophisticated expert. At each stage, you will anticipate what our users need, advocate for them and ensure that the final product surprises and delights them.

You are a self-driven and well rounded design professional with a keen understanding of consumer products, and a passion for designing pixel perfect user experiences.
