        <![CDATA[Are you passionate about making great things that have real impact?&nbsp;Do you hate being pigeonholed into a specific design role, and instead thrive when you wear many different hats, from research to design to prototyping? Do you seek to grow your skills and capabilities with industry leaders as committed to your professional growth as to making great things? Do you crave a startup environment, where opportunities are boundless and you're given true responsibility to forge your own path?&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Inflection is looking for passionate, committed, and slightly crazy Product Designers for our industry-leading people search product, PeopleSmart.com, and a new stealth product that's currently little more than a name and a good idea. If this sounds appealing, read on...<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>You like to make things</strong><br />
<ul>
<li> You can't help but sketch, draw, diagram, wireframe, and prototype</li>
<li> You're versed in the basics of smart product design, such as user research, interaction design, and information architecture</li>
<li> You have a strong aesthetic sense, though you might not call yourself a visual designer (that's okay!)</li>
<li> You're comfortable prototyping your designs to show others how they work</li>
<li> Bonus points if you're handy with production-ready HTML/CSS and JavaScript</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>You're appropriately flexible</strong><br />
<ul>
<li> You recognize there's never One True Way to make something, nor One True Solution for any problem</li>
<li> You're eager to iterate and improve based on how people actually use what you've built</li>
<li> All that said, you're no pushover: you have a vision for your designs and will stand your ground for them</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>You've got a portfolio</strong><br />
<ul>
<li> Be it academic or professional, we're going to want to take a look at some relevant design work you've done</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>You want to learn</strong><br />
<ul>
<li> You're probably still on the early side of your career, and you're hungry to improve</li>
<li> You're committed to deepening your design practice, and excited that Inflection has senior designers passionate about mentorship</li>
<li> You seek to cross-train and broaden your skill set in all kinds of directions</li>

        <![CDATA[Can you champion a product vision, collaborate with product managers and engineers to ensure it works, and lead a design team to see it through? Do you enjoy pivoting between being visionary, diplomat, analyst, leader, and maker? Can you craft the Big Picture and then dive into the minutest details without getting the bends?&nbsp;<br /> <strong>&nbsp;</strong><br /> 

Inflection, a top Silicon Valley Big Data startup, is searching for exceptional Product Design Leads for two of our properties. One, PeopleSmart, is the industry-leading public records database, and you'll have a hand re-imagining people search for a connected age. The other is a forthcoming product that is currently little more than a URL and an idea -- talk to us, and we'll tell you what it is. Both Leads will collaborate closely with the Director of Product Management, senior engineers, and the VP of User Experience. <br /> &nbsp;<br />

This is the perfect opportunity for those thrilled at the prospect of launching a new business, but also comforted by a more stable and sane work environment than the average Silicon Valley startup. If you're a compelling communicator with a razor-sharp eye for superb user experience and a collaborative spirit, you're what we want.<br /> <br /><strong>You love to build things:</strong><br />
<ul>
<li> The blank page doesn't scare you; instead, it's a welcoming canvas to fill with your ideas</li>
<li> Working with product managers, user researchers, visual designers, and front-end developers, you'll create wireframes, mockups, and prototypes that live at the intersection of customer desire and business goals</li>
<li> Even though you're hyper-focused on organization, you believe the work day should be dynamic, ever-evolving, and filled with free food</li>
</ul>
<strong> <br />You know data and feedback is the path toward success:</strong><br />
<ul>
<li> We believe in Lean, and seek to get good ideas in front of real customers as quickly as possible--but not at the expense of delivering greatness</li>
<li> Our dedication to split-testing provides real-time analysis of user experience, electrifying your passion for user satisfaction</li>
<li> You can work within project parameters, and aren't turned off when your idea doesn't test as well as another. In fact, you're inspired to improve the flow.</li>
<li> You're comfortable with various forms of user research, such as in-home interviews, user tests, and surveys.</li>
</ul>
<strong><br />You know your stuff:</strong><br />
<ul>
<li> You have at least 5 years of experience in product design for fast-paced delivery-focused industry-leading companies</li>
<li> You're passionate about building useful products that will wow our customers and help shape an industry</li>
<li> You're passionate about supporting small businesses as they try to do great things in an increasingly hostile market environment</li>
<li> You want to play a central role in defining user experience for innovative products at a fast-growing and profitable company, and you're committed to their long-term evolution</li>
<li> You're as enthusiastic for big reinventions as you are for incremental iterations</li>
<li> We love hybrids/generalists, and welcome any and all contributions you can make</li>
</ul>
<strong><br />You want to do work that gets noticed:</strong><br />
<ul>
<li> With the explosion of software and apps, we know that great Product Designers are in big-time demand. That's why we support the role vigorously.</li>
<li> User Experience reports directly to the CEO, and is crucial in developing the long-term roadmap for the company</li>
<li> You'll work with some of the Silicon Valley's best engineers to execute your ideas</li>
<li> You'll get the start-up vibe, but with big-company perks and stability</li>
<li> You'll have a direct and notable impact at a critical point in our growth</li>
<li> You'll be given the best tools and resources to do your job</li>

While we appreciate your willingness to suck it up and pay your coffee-fetching dues somewhere, at Inflection, we know a good career starts with exposure to actual work. Especially work that reaches millions. This isn't a standard entry-level gig.

<li> Open and communicative environment with high-integrity values</li>
<li> We take work seriously, but we most  definitely do not take  ourselves too seriously. If we did, would we  have a full-time Happiness  Engineer on staff?</li>
<li> Rockstar teammates from successful startups, NASA's Space Program, and Harvard Business School who know how to have fun while winning!</li>
</ul>
<br /><strong>What you'll be doing</strong>:<br />
<ul>
<li> Identify organizations with potentially valuable historical data collections (vital records, census, newspapers, obituaries, etc.)</li>
<li> Conduct phone and email outreach to build relationships with records sources and organizations</li>
<li> Manage dozens of relationships and pipelines concurrently. Prioritize opportunities based on value of data and likelihood of success.</li>
<li> Monitor competitive landscape and partnerships and adjust your strategy as needed</li>
<li> Negotiate terms, price, and other details with partners and vendors</li>
<li> Report on detailed status of past, current, and future data acquisition activities</li>
<li> Identify ways to improve current processes</li>
<li> Work with Product Management to integrate new historical records into the product and promote them to users</li>
<li> Possibly work with vendors to manage digitization projects from start to finish</li>
</ul>
<strong><br />Requirements:</strong><br />
<ul>
<li> BA/BS degree required</li>
<li> Strong networking and relationship-building skills</li>
<li> Results oriented, able to balance and prioritize the most important tasks</li>

<li> Knowledge or experience working with US public records offices or in genealogy is a plus</li>
<li> School or work experience in an sales or business development role is a plus</li>

        <![CDATA[Inflection--a profitable BigData startup with leading properties in people search and family history research--is searching for an exceptional Product Marketing Associate to own a broad range of responsibilities in social media, content writing, PR and event planning, competitive research and analysis, and user engagement. Whew. If the length and breadth of that list, not to mention the chance to work with the brightest minds in Silicon Valley, is more thrilling than scary, read on.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> We need a compelling communicator with a razor-sharp eye for detail, an independent streak, social media prowess, product marketing chops, and a capacity to intuitively adhere--and contribute to--our brands' voice and further extension.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> <strong>What you'll do:</strong><br />
<ul>
<li> Function as both a primary and contributing writer and planner for our corporate blogs and social media accounts</li>
<li> Aid in press-release creation and coordination and assist in tradeshow and PR event logistics</li>
<li> Develop a deep understanding of other sites in our verticals, perform regular competitive research, and report on recent industry news</li>
<li> Entice, excite, and engage our member and non-member communities, both on- and offline.</li>
<li> Be a product marketing and content-creation generalist, able to successfully accomplish (with minimal follow-up) an array of associated tasks</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;<br /> <strong>Naturally, you know your stuff:</strong><br />
<ul>
<li> Bachelors Degree</li>
<li> 1­-2 years of work experience, preferably in marketing, social media, or content generation</li>
<li> You're a joy to be around. Why? Well, you work hard, creatively problem solve, don't need too much hand-holding, are outgoing, and diligent</li>
<li> You're naturally enthused about blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and the whole social media landscape. Bonus for having your own well developed social network personality.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp; <br /> <strong>You believe that work and fun can, in fact, coexist</strong>:<br /> Bored employees make boring products. We run big websites with millions of users, but we're allergic to the sterile and cold corporate culture. Work and life should definitely be buddies, so we're serious about cultivating a fab work environment. To wit:<br />
<ul>
<li>Our headquarters are in the      north end of the Silicon Valley, right next to the San Francisco Bay.      Getting here is a breeze, too. We're close to the Caltrain station and we      pay for your tickets with the GO Pass program.</li>
<li>The team is as diverse as it      is skilled: talented designers, superstar engineers, Silicon Valley vets,      and entrepreneurs galore.</li>
<li>We like to be happy.      Especially in the post-work hour-long format.</li>
<li>There's enough free food and      drink at hand to feed a small army. Plus, catered lunch is on us every      day.</li>
<li>We're serious about being      ethical and responsible citizens and business people. For example, we make      a charitable donation with each product release.</li>
<li>We care about results, and      understand that people get there in their own unique way. You can define      your own work path and work with others to set deadlines.</li>
