Jobs: Design Internship at Type/Code
erica peterson · April 14th, 2014 · 0 Comments
We are looking for an exceptionally talented designer to join our team for a two month summer internship.
Role:
This is an extremely hands-on position. We want you to be hungry to work hard, and learn as much as possible... there is NO fetching coffee or making copies.
You will work with our designers and developers directly, on both client and internal initiatives. You will be involved in the entire life cycle of our projects: from strategy and design research, to prototyping and iterating on design solutions, to the execution of final deliverables. You will also have input on your role: really want to explore responsive design? Usability Testing? Branding in a digital context? We will work with you to make sure you are getting as much out of this position as you can.
You:
- Are creative and detail-oriented, with a diverse aesthetic range
- Have exceptional typographic and layout skills
- Are able to think through design problems holistically
- Love designing for digital mediums, but also love print and other mediums too
- Geek out on beautiful digital interfaces and exceptional user experiences
- Are comfortable with design research, finding precedents, assembling type and color studies
- Are proficient with Adobe’s Creative Suite (specifically Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign)
- Have at least a cursory understanding of HTML/CSS (the more development skills, the better)
- Have some motion graphics/time-based design experience (not required, but definitely a plus)
- Have lots of other skills and interests that you are excited to tell us about
Compensation:
This is a paid internship, and we will also be happy to discuss course credits depending on your school’s guidelines.
Hire me already:
Send us a quick cover letter letting us know why you think you would be a good fit for Type/Code, along with your resume, and a link to your portfolio website to jobs@typecode.com.
We're Nominated for a Webby!
Zeke Shore · April 9th, 2014 · 0 Comments
The Webby Awards are pretty much the Oscars of the internet, so we are incredibly proud (and honored) to have been nominated for our work on the design, development and launch of the new Architizer.com
We are one of 5 nominees in the 'Lifestyle" category. The official winner will be announced on April 29, but in the meantime, please vote for us in the Webby's People's Voice Competition– we need to give Martha Stewart a run for her money ;)
As an added bonus, the Webby's also gave Architizer a nod as an honoree for "Best Use of Photography."
We want to extend a huge "thank you" to the entire Architizer team for the opportunity to collaborate on such an exciting project.
Jobs: Project Manager/Studio Manager
Andrew Mahon · February 6th, 2014 · 1 Comment
Type/Code’s project manager and studio manager of two and a half years is leaving in mid-February - we’re looking for someone to fill her shoes.
The role is split between producing digital and print projects, managing staff, and taking care of general studio administration. You will be the first point of contact for leads, will be integral in the pitch process, and will guide clients through the lifecycle of their project. You will help maintain job listings, weekly timesheets, health insurance and payroll. You will help manage our bookkeeper, accountant, and attorney, plan parties and events, and identify and submit work for awards and recognition. The position is challenging, and often very demanding and requires a strong attention to detail — we are looking for someone who will thrive in such an environment.
The ideal candidate will have exceptional communication skills, be highly organized, and have a background in the design or technology industries. Prior experience in project management and studio administration is a huge plus, but not required. Each new project brings on a new set of relationships and domain knowledge, the ability to learn quickly and think on your feet is essential. While we strive to offer a flexible work schedule, we can only consider local candidates for this position. The position is open immediately.
With a small team, and highly central role, a project manager/studio manager will have the opportunity to shape Type/Code’s trajectory. We are seeking someone who is able to identify opportunities for change and finds great motivation in the possibilities.
A little bit about Type/Code: we’re an interaction design studio that works with ambitious clients to bring powerful ideas to life. Clients range from NYC local businesses like MoMA to technology startups to large media properties all the way to Google. We focus on conceiving, designing, and developing exceptional digital experiences, across all sorts of devices. While a significant amount of our work is client driven, we jump at any opportunity to build self-driven tools and products. Our studio atmosphere is fun, laid-back, and full of a passionate group of friends who are never not working love what they do.
Compensation:
- Pay commensurate with experience.
- Central location in sunny Dumbo with a beautiful view of Manhattan.
- Regularly stocked snacks, coffee, and beer (periodically on tap).
- Bike and pet friendly.
- Opportunities for equity participation
- Health and dental insurance plan.
- Monthly gym stipend.

Tell us a bit about yourself. How will your background and experience inform your role at Type/Code? Why are you interested in a role as a project manager and studio manager? Why do you think Type/Code will be a good fit?

My finger just pressed send in regards to this position. As a creator/community manager of my own website, I think it is time I take my talents to a business that actually has a mailing address.
Cheers!

We're seeking an exceptionally talented and multifaceted developer to join our tight-knit team of designers and coders. Just over three years old, we're looking to expand our capabilities without sacrificing our culture or passion for the work we do. While hours are flexible, they’re rooted in our drive to build beautiful software. Your role will focus on implementation of user interfaces, but you should have a holistic understanding and passion for web software, from design, through the full stack of software.
Role:
You will be working closely with both our creative and development teams to build and deploy a wide range of projects. Our stack typically revolves around Python backend with a HTML/CSS/JS user interface but we encourage you to bring the tools and practices that you know best. By joining a small but growing team, the position affords lots of opportunities to shape the path that Type/Code takes. We’re looking for someone whose motivation and enthusiasm match their talent for creating beautiful code. We find that some of the most talented folks enjoy an alternative schedule; while we would love someone on-site, if you’re good, we’re flexible.
You:
- Have experience building user interfaces for web applications with cutting edge techniques and tools.
- Know the ins and outs of HTML, CSS and Javascript like the back of your hand.
- Have a range of experience integrating user interfaces with backend services through asynchronous loading.
- Have a strong grasp of techniques surrounding PushState.
- Love building cutting-edge, rich web applications, and have work samples that you’re proud of.
- Pride yourself on being among the best in your craft.
- Are ready and able to rapidly acquire new skills to tackle new challenges.
- Are creative and detail-oriented, with awesome organizational and communication skills.
- Don’t recall the last time you’ve said “That’s not possible!” and have a knack for pragmatically balancing workload and challenge.
- Are ready to work with an awesome team in a laid-back but incredibly motivated environment.
- Are comfortable working on a Version Controlled codebase. Git/Github is our jam.
- Have a strong passion or two outside of work.
Compensation:
- Pay commensurate with experience.
- Equity, 0.5-1%
- Health and dental insurance plan.
- Central location in sunny D.U.M.B.O. with a beautiful view of Manhattan.
- Regularly stocked snacks, coffee, and beer (periodically on tap).
- Friday lunch provided.
- Bike and pet friendly.
- Monthly Gym stipend.
