Happy Cog is hiring: designer wanted

Happy Cog Philadelphia is looking for a full time designer to join our team in Center City, Philadelphia.

We are a web design agency—not a marketing communications firm or a design firm that dabbles in the web. But if you’re the right person for this job, we don’t have to tell you about us.

We seek an exceptionally gifted designer with effective communication and listening skills, as comfortable with clients as with coworkers. You’re the best in your class or at your company, but it doesn’t go to your head. You’re a team player and you recognize that ours is a service business. Be passionate about aesthetics and serious about strategy. You needn’t be front-end code whiz, as long as you understand how design and code interact, and embrace the principles of web standards and accessibility.

The job starts in early April. If you think it’s for you, send your resume, site URL, and persuasive cover letter to hcphilly@happycog.com.

    Dangit.

    Fire your designer in 5 years. Then call me. :).

    Count me curious about who will eventually get this position. Will (s)he be a known commodity, or is (s)he lurking in the shadows? Game on….

    It should also be noted who the candidate is replacing. Maybe under requirements: “Must be able to fill JSM’s shoes”
    Prime job opportunity!

    With the former designer being the talented Jason Santa Maria, this position – a dream opportunity – might also be very intimidating for some individuals. Should be exciting to see who applies and ultimately gets the post! :)

    Best of luck everyone involved.

    @Philip: Not replacing JSM, actually—replacing another awesome Happy Cog designer.

    A truly good designer could never be replaced. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be truly good.

    Best regards for Happy Cog and the lucky new designer!

    I actually talked with the wife about becoming a hyper commuter. 1.5 hours each way… it’s doable lol

    @ Philip and Matt: That’s a common assumption. As Jeffrey mentioned, this is not to replace Jason. In addition to replacing this person, we may likely be hiring more in the next month or two, for Philly positions.

    hmmmm… did I mention I’m living in Lancaster now. A mere hour or so from Philly?

    Naaaah I wouldn’t do that to Happy Cog. I’m quite happy at my Wal-Mart night job anyway. :D
