User Experience Director & Lead UX Designer at TrialPay in Mountain View, CA

About TrialPay:

TrialPay (www.trialpay.com) is changing the world of e-commerce. We're building a payments and promotions platform that uses efficiencies of the Web and a patent-pending optimization engine to increase revenue for e-commerce sites. The company's revenue has grown faster in its first two years than Google or Amazon. Entering its third year, the company has served more than 40 million users and is continuing its trend of triple-digit revenue growth year-over-year.

We share an open, friendly and intellectually stimulating work environment among our team of 80+ employees. They hail from top universities and some of the most successful Internet companies. (Although, they probably wouldn't bring this up unless you asked.)

We're located in downtown Mountain View, California. Our office is walking distance to CalTrain and is surrounded by great restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. Apart from the cornucopia of edibles, every day is punctuated with a social gathering around the “exotic fruit social hour.” On Friday afternoons, the smell of tasty food wafts from the kitchen throughout the office to tempt employees to put down their work and start to socialize for “Balcony Fridays.” TrialPay has hosted wine and beer tastings, trivia nights, poker tournaments... and there’s a rumor of a karaoke night on the horizon. And every once in a while, a full-scale (foam) dart-gun battle breaks out in the office and pits marketing vs. engineering, BD vs. advertising and sends anyone else in the office running for cover.

TrialPay offers excellent benefits, including health/medical/dental and three weeks of vacation. Plus, we provide many other perks, including: CalTrain reimbursement and 3G cards for commuters, Mac laptops, telecommuting options and regular company get-togethers.

TralPay is backed by leading venture capitalists including: Index Ventures (Skype, MySQL, last.fm), Battery Ventures (Akamai, InfoSpace, MetroPCS), Atomico (Skype, last.fm, Kazaa), Bob Pittman (former AOL president and founder of MTV), Ron Conway (Google, PayPal, Twitter), and executives from several top Internet companies.

TrialPay is offering the chance to work on the ground floor of a fast-growing, financially strong company. We hire great people and encourage them to achieve their potential. Our company culture is defined by high energy, sharp intellect, creativity and collaboration. We believe in hard work, a fun, open atmosphere, and the autonomy to push one’s limits. If you are exceptional at what you do, you're a passionate team player and you want to have an impact on millions of people, then we'd love to hear from you!
