Job Description:
Principal, UX Developer
As a Principal, UX Developer on the Creative Solutions team, you get excited about solving challenges while working in a collaborative team environment. Bringing stories to life through thoughtful UX and development solutions is your passion, and you believe in the value of everyday interaction between brands and customers. The sweet spot is balancing a trained design-eye and technical mind to innovate and push boundaries within our existing brand guidelines.
The Purpose of Your Role
Daily life includes a medley of development using the Wix Studio platform, user experience design, and CMS optimization - from concept to completion for primarily external communications. Every day is different, but you can count on collaborating with designers, producers and communications partners on a regular basis. You will be well-versed in development and SEO best practices, the latest UXD trends, and CMS solutions. You will be expected to demonstrate strategic and collaborative thinking with thoughtful approaches to existing and future web experiences. Though your primary focus will involve building, optimizing, and maintaining external-facing Fidelity webpages, be ready to expand your reach and try new things. For example, designing, illustration, acting as video extras, voice over talent, and more!
