Visual Designer
Mint crafts products designed to inform, entertain or delight, hopefully making people's lives a little bit better along the way. The Studio within Mint is a cross disciplinary team of creatives, strategists and designers, working in unison to come up with, and bring our creative vision to life.
We are now looking to add a new visual designer to the team.
Design at Mint is all encompassing. The majority of your work will be designing for the web and mobile, but with the breadth of what Mint makes, you'll have the opportunity to dip into print, animation and even product design with the likes of Stickygram and Olly. You will be designing for wherever the future takes us. For that journey, we need someone who is broadly talented across design and will recognise this breadth as an opportunity.
We are not just looking for someone who can make beautiful designs. The ideal candidate will be fascinated by how users interact, what motivates them to click and how they flow. Underlying this fascination, we would look for an intrigue in human communication and the ways technology changes what is possible.
We're a small team doing big things. You will have every chance to make a difference and shape our output. Creative work always involves collaboration and how we gel together as a team is a key consideration. We hope to work with the right person for years to come.
We are looking for:
- A strong sense of visual style
- A good understanding of typography and layout
- 1-3 years professional experience, ideally in interactive.
When applying:
- Include a little bit about you, a resume and a link to your online portfolio.
- If you have a PDF portfolio, please link to it rather than including it as an attachment.

Interaction Designer
Mint crafts products designed to inform, entertain or delight and hopefully make people's lives a little bit better along the way. The Studio within Mint is a cross disciplinary team of creatives, strategists and designers, working in unison to invent and bring our creative vision to life.
We are now looking to add a new interaction designer to the team.
Interaction design is at the heart of everything Mint does. We obsessively care about users and the services we design for them. Intuitively functional is the minimum we strive for, but we always push the work, and ourselves, that one step further. The majority of your work will involve designing for the web and mobile, but you will have increasing opportunities for designing around screens and even off screens, with the likes of Olly.
The work of an interaction designer at Mint spans the entire product cycle, from the early stages of conceptual work to rapidly prototyping web and mobile interfaces, iterating in light of user testing and producing well-considered wireframes. You'll also be collaborating with teams across Mint to see your vision realised as breathtaking applications.
The work will involve a balance of client work and developing new Mint products. Everyone at Mint has the opportunity to develop ideas for new Mint products. We're not afraid to try things we haven't tried before either: Stickygram, now a thriving Mint business, was one recent idea.
The studio environment is one of collaboration. You will often find you spend more time discussing and sketching than sitting in front of your computer. We question every design decision we make, so you need to be comfortable with having your opinions challenged, as well as ready to challenge the opinions of your colleagues.
A strong body of interaction work compiled over 1-3 years of professional experience will play an important role in our selection. But ultimately, we are looking for someone who is fascinated by how users interact, what motivates them to click and how they flow between screens. Underlying this fascination, we would hope to see an intrigue in human communication and the ways technology changes what is possible. We will expect you to understand the constraints technology presents but know when to push them.
We're a small team doing big things. You will have every chance to make a difference and shape our output. Creative work always involves collaboration and how we gel together as a team is a key consideration. We hope to work with the right person for years to come.
We look forward to talking.

HTML/CSS Developer who wants to learn Rails

You will probably also work on the development of Mint's own software, including BloomBox and AssetHat.
