Overview

GridRival is looking for a talented Sr. User Interface Designer to help lead the continued growth and user experience of our mobile and web applications. If you’re the right fit for this role, you’re the type of individual who seeks out, and thrives in fast-paced startup environments and has a natural enthusiasm when it comes to learning and taking on new challenges.
