Sr UI Designer
Chicago, IL

Job Description

We're here to ensure the advertising industry and the people in it are healthy and engaging positively and effectively with those around them. We're here, ultimately, to improve the lives of people working in the media industry. And we take our responsibility seriously.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for someone who is excited to work with a dedicated team of product managers, designers and developers to solve complicated problems. The Senior UI Designer will collaborate with a cross functional team in an agile-environment to efficiently create and convey design solutions for our products. The person in this role will create visual designs, but also be fluent in front-end technologies and have the ability to work with developers to implement design.

ABOUT THE PRODUCT AND ENGINEERING TEAM

At Centro, we've always been about making people's lives better-from our employees to our clients. Today, we're building a unified platform to execute every digital media advertising transaction, thus providing a new level of automation and intelligence in ad tech. This is an enormous task that will disrupt an industry and improve the lives of those who work within it.

To do this, we're aggressively growing our team of engineers, product developers and designers. We are imaginative, passionate, determined and relentless in our efforts. Of course, we are fascinated by the complexity of engineering problems at this scale-it's what brings bright minds together. But what keeps us coming back (and why we love coming to work every day) is the chance to improve how work gets done: freeing up people's time so that they can dream bigger and make life better.

Come build something amazing with us.
