Senior User Experience Designer
Fiix Software
Why Fiix?
Fiix has a big goal – to create a more sustainable world. Sounds lofty right? Our mission is to make every maintenance team successful by enabling the adoption of a CMMS and we’re off to a great start. Teams that are part of the world’s most well known brands (like Toyota, Siemens, and Sara Lee) manage their maintenance activities and achieve greater results with Fiix. But we’re not stopping there. Our team is growing by leaps and bounds and we’re conquering new challenges every day. We’re looking for big thinkers with small egos to join us on our journey to create a more sustainable world.
Why we do it?
We’re a team of market disrupting, like-minded individuals. We all do things our own way, but we come together each and every day to create and deliver the long awaited answer to an antiquated industry – and we have a lot of fun while we’re at it.
We’re looking for a Senior User Experience (UX) Designer to help take Fiix’s explosive growth to a whole new level. We think most software is too complex, with too many features and promises. We're on a mission to change that — to build truly superior software that changes the way people work. We need an experienced Senior UX designer who knows that the best designed software products are grounded in an understanding of the needs of the people who use them.
