MarkITx is a B2B exchange for buying and selling IT hardware (anything that goes into a datacenter). We are disrupting the $350B secondary IT market by bringing simplicity and transparency to a process that is currently painful, ugly and untrustworthy. We are a well funded startup, working out of 1871. We are a deeply experienced and tight-knit team of seven. We have partnership agreements with several top OEMs and data center operators. We’ve proven the model, with over $40MM in orders and over $150k per month in transactions. We’re just getting started, and we need your help to scale.
We’ve recently been covered in Computer World, Blackline and TechCrunch
We're pragmatists, not purists. We try to use the right technology for the job, with familiarity being a tie breaker. Some things we use today: Node.js, ElasticSearch, Redis and CouchDB and a slew of AWS services.
Our culture is driven by a simple constraint: every colleague we add should make the rest of the team happier and better at their own jobs. That means talent density grows as we grow. It means we have zero tolerance for ego-driven BS. It means we’re in awe of what our colleagues are capable of. It means we have complete autonomy to identify and solve the problems in our domain. It means we care more about the win than we do about who did what to get us there.

16 May 2013The Advisory Board Company - Crimson: User Experience Architect for Crimson
(Austin, TX)
UX is strategy not (just) design.
Every business strategy needs to be grounded in careful market analysis. Less research equals more assumptions equals higher risk. Like-wise, application design decisions must be grounded in user analysis. We’re seeking a few more user experience professionals, of all levels, to contribute to our strategy.
What will they do?
They'll carry out evidence-based design research, both before and during product design. Meaning they listen to users and narrow the target audience – defining the problem before trying to solve it. These architects understand the business goals just as deeply as they understand the user's goals. They think about a system, not just the user interface. They use a systematic approach for gathering data and articulating their findings to product stakeholders.
What do we look for in candidates?
People who listen and question. Thinkers that can find the sweet spot between user and buyer needs. Empathetic individuals that use a variety of tools like: user interviews, usability tests, card sorts, mental models, flow diagrams, sketches, wireframes – the list goes on. Extra credit goes to those with true information architecture and interaction design skills.
Be Aware
Along with a resume, successful candidates will submit a portfolio that demonstrates taking a project from requirements to sketches to wireframes. It may include either annotations suitable for implementation, detailed functional specs or interactive prototypes. We’ll also consider equivalent portfolios from another design field, e.g. industrial design or user interface design.
Basic Requirements
- At least 2 years serving as a UXD, IxD, IA or equivalent for interactive web applications
- Expert knowledge of user experience research methodology and techniques
- Proven skills for planning and conducting elicitation and elaboration sessions, documenting results and making recommendations
- Capable of translating research into a product vision that balances both business and user needs
Even Better
- Past experience with enterprise web-apps or health care
- Comfortable with dynamic constraints, interacting with and handling feedback from non-designer stakeholders
- Ability to communicate your process as well as define and measure success metrics
- Experience managing small teams
- Extensive knowledge of UI patterns and interactive design principles
- Can balance your process in a lean/agile environment
- Produces results independently as well as collaboratively - Understands the limits and capabilities of web technologies

Great news; I’m on the hunt for the first proper employee of codepotato!
The time has finally come to grow the business and some lucky so-and-so is going to land themselves one amazing opportunity if they’re made of the right stuff.
Codepotato has been growing at an unbelievable rate over the last 18 months and the need has arisen to take on a Junior PHP developer. If you know a bit of php and want an opportunity to shine then strap yourself in, this is going to be an amazing blog post!
What am I after?Good question! I need someone who is comfortable with the basic syntax of PHP. If you know the difference between an array and an object, hurrah, you’re #winning. If you also have experience with WordPress or PHP frameworks of any kind you’re full of what Charlie Sheen would refer to as “tiger blood”. Legend.
More important than your current skill-set is your desire to learn and your passion for the web. If you are driven and have a natural interest in the web, but think you maybe lack on knowledge at the moment, no problemo, you’re equally welcome to apply.
What will you be doing?Not only will I teach you how to make a killer coffee using a french press, you’ll also be working day-in-day-out on some pretty awesome projects.
We work within a super-cool niche and the projects vary from WordPress sites (that push it to it’s limits) to custom-coded web applications that revolutionise our clients’ businesses. In short, you’ll never have a dull day!
You’ll also be helping out on some top secret [codepotato] projects but I can’t talk about that, as they’re top secret.
Where would you work?You would work with me in our swanky shared office-space in sunny Emsworth. With 8 pubs within walking distance, kick-ass sandwich shops that deliver and award winning butchers literally around the corner you’re guaranteed to get fat and enjoy working in Emsworth.
Our office has a fully operational kitchen, a full-size fridge freezer (for chilling your diet coke and Fab lollies) and a view straight on to the mill pond. We even have a shower in case you want to cycle in to the office, too.
Parking is limited locally, but you can park across the mill pond like the rest of those that commute to Emsworth.
What would you use?How does a 27″ quad-core iMac with a 2.1 creative speaker setup, DJ headphones and an ergonomic chair sound to you? Not forgetting the low-profile Apple keyboard and magic mouse combined with a gaming mousemat. Beast just doesn’t quite do it justice. This’ll be your day-to-day workhorse.
The important stuffSalary is likely to be around £15,000 a year pro-rata (based on your experience).
How to applyIt couldn’t be simpler. Just email sayhi [at] codepotato [dot] co [dot] uk and introduce yourself.
Job Perks: Tea and Coffee supplied. Summer BBQs by the mill pond. Relaxed work environment. Paid-for conferences and more!

Upon opening his first retail store in 1994, Steven sold pieces from an eclectic group of emerging designers, becoming known for his keen eye. Building on his reputation for scouting the most intriguing young designers, the Steven Alan Showroom opened in 1996. Steven's knack for the modern reinterpretation of classics garnered him an impressive roster of designers on the rise, and the Showroom now represents 20 designers of clothing, handbags and other accessories.
The launch of Steven Alan's first collection in 1999, including his now-signature Reverse Seam Shirt, created a loyal following for Steven's unique brand of casual, smart, self-assured essentials for both men and women. Steven now sells his collections at six eponymous New York stores, and in 2008 introduced three locations in Southern California.

29 Apr 2013EnergySavvy: Lead UX Designer
(Seattle, WA)
EnergySavvy is a rapidly growing software company that’s changing the way people, businesses and utilities think about energy efficiency. We take a fanatical focus on happy customers add a healthy dose of great UX and put it all on top of a rapidly iterated set of technologies and algorithms. We’re proud of what we’ve created so far but we want to get even bigger and better. To do that, we need you.
To succeed in this position, you need to have an opinionated perspective on application UX and understand how to turn those opinions into reality by iteratively working with a software team. Our products take complex concepts like energy and complicated workflows and simplify them to delight our users.
Turn on your left brain for a moment to process what you’ll be doing when you get here:
- Own the company-wide UI/UX guidelines, style guide and iconography and provide guidance to developers, PMs and other team members on improving user experience
- Create UI mockups, storyboards and interactive prototypes for new features
- Work with the engineering team to turn complex concepts and functional specs into excellent user experiences
- Iterate on UX designs/prototypes to continually improve our products
- Figure out if your grand ideas actually work in the real world via focus groups, usability testing and direct customer feedback
We understand that good design is above all else pragmatic and you should as well. On the flip side, if you feel physical pain when you see an element that’s clearly off by a pixel and have an overwhelming urge to just fix it, you’ll fit right in.
Here’s what else we’re looking for:
- Significant experience with web based software design
- Expert knowledge of web based design principles and standards – just as a sculptor needs to understand the clay she works with, you need to know your medium
- A solid understanding of UX and HCI – eye candy only gets you so far, the software has to work well too
- A strong portfolio of past work that highlights your clean design aesthetic and passion for developing simple solutions to complex problems
- 5+ years of design experience, preferably at a software company
If you’ve been a design leader before then you know how fun it can be and EnergySavvy is an excellent opportunity to use your skills for more than just the next social twitter widget on top of a facebook feed. If you haven’t, this is a great chance to step up and own the design aspects of a rapidly growing startup. Or you could always do a tour at an agency designing the website for Bob’s Honda and Chevrolet of Quahog. They want more dazzle from your designs… And make their logo bigger.
About EnergySavvy
EnergySavvy is a Seattle-based software company focused on energy efficiency. EnergySavvy’s flagship product, Optix, is an energy efficiency management system that helps utilities achieve their cost-effective savings goals. Optix drives program success by engaging customers, streamlining stakeholder interactions and providing real-time analytics.

22 Apr 2013Media Molecule Limited: Web Designer
(Surrey, UK) Media Molecule are seeking an experienced web designer, to help us build the web experiences for our in-house web projects and our upcoming games and services.
We’re looking for someone with strong visual design ability and the level of technical ability you’d expect from years of experience working on the web. The traditional Web Designer: Part front-end designer, part front-end developer.
Primarily, you’ll love creating visually stunning, thoroughly enjoyable experiences on the web. The web is a passion for you, it’s massive potential and constantly evolving limits help drive you, and because of that you’re in tune with what’s happening in the bleeding edge of web technology – knowing what else you can play with excites you!
Be it desktop, tablet, mobile or TV - the web is on all of these devices, and more. You’ll have experience in producing sites that adapt their visual design and interface for the screen being used, as well as enhancing their functionality based on the devices abilities.
When working, you’ll happily sketch out design ideas and draw up wireframes for pitching your proposals, before jumping in to Photoshop to work your magic. When it comes to breathing life in to your designs, you’ll boot up your text editor to start typing the handwritten HTML and CSS which your projects are always made with.
You’re something of a perfectionist, and work to the utmost standard - the little things matter to you. In fact, whilst reading this job description, you’ve noticed a number of things which you don’t like about the website you’re reading this on (which we’ll assume to be the Media Molecule site, by the way). But that’s not a problem because you’re always bursting with ideas of how to make things better.
As a Molecule, you’d be a creative person with unique hobbies and interests. You’re always turned on by the quirky, crafty, little things in life. You might keep a sketchbook, run a photo blog, make your own clothes, or keep your moustache curled in an exquisite way; however you express your love of these things, you’d say it was part of what defined you. You are a nice person :)
Requirements
- At least 5 years of experience designing and producing high quality websites, with a strong portfolio showcasing this
- Solid skills in Photoshop (or equivalent software)
- In-depth knowledge of HTML5 and CSS3
- Able to produce standards compliant, handwritten HTML, CSS and basic JavaScript
- Experience creating responsive sites from the ground up
- Strong brand awareness
- Able to work on own initiative or work well in a team
- A sharp attention to detail and an eye for pixel-perfect design
- Good knowledge of the latest web tools and technologies
- Player of video games

15 Apr 2013Meetup: Product Designers @ Meetup
(New York, NY)
Meetup began as a scrappy, lean and mean startup dedicated to doing whatever it took to enable face-to-face Meetups around the world. With a small, engineering-centric dev team, we sparked Meetups for millions of people in thousands of cities.
The path we took left us with a website that is vibrant and full of life, but one that's also messy, inconsistent, and sometimes even downright frustrating to use. We know we can't reach the next millions of people without making thoughtful, simple-to-use, beautiful design a top priority.
That's why we need you. We're building Meetup's first design team. Join us and reinvent the online experiences that will help millions of people discover, spark, and get involved in local, real-world communities.
The role:
- You'll evolve rough ideas into touchable, testable prototypes -- mapping out experiences, designing and prototyping HTML interfaces, and iterating, iterating, iterating (we run about 10 usability tests each week in our in-house lab).
- You'll help build out our live style guide, creating new reusable interface elements and refining existing ones.
- You'll work closely with other designers, engineers, and product managers.
- You'll explore, experiment, and help shape the future of Meetup.
Who we're looking for:
- You're a generalist-specialist (http://markdotto.com/2011/04/15/fatten-up-those...). Interaction design, visual design, HTML/CSS prototyping, design methods. You're good at all of these and excellent at at least one of them.
- You've have experience designing projects that span web, mobile, and email.
- You have an online portfolio of projects (some of which were self-started) that will knock our socks off.
- You're quick.
Every member of the Meetup Team is expected to: be an Innovator; be a Collaborator; be a Champion for their ideas; be an Expert; have High Standards; be dedicated to the power of self-organized groups and our mission of A Meetup Everywhere About Most Everything ("MEME"); and most importantly, Get Stuff Done That Makes a Difference!
