Travelocity is looking for User Experience ninja who is all about tackling human-centered, real-world design challenges.

What makes a Travelocity user experience designer? You are a design strategist, planner and creator. Travelocity Experience Designers participate at all stages of a project, including customer insights, product strategy, concepting, prototyping, detailed design, and front end development. You have a strong background in interaction design (including information architecture) and visual design skills (information design, typography, color, etc.). You must also be a systems thinker who considers how your feature, interaction, and page designs work and will be maintained across brands, channels (web/mobile), countries, and languages. You are comfortable working in a highly collaborative, agile environment, and are willing to wear multiple UX hats (IA, design, front end code).
