SENIOR DESIGNER / DESIGN DIRECTOR

First off, there is NO HARDWARE EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.

This is an incredibly unique role that is unlike any other design position out there, we promise. The reason we can confidently say that is because more than half of our work is on internal products. This means that the way this particular work is crafted and designed is driven by us, not by a client. The person to take this role would be in the position to design a brand and everything around it from the ground up - logo, site, videos, etc. More than anything else though, the majority of the design will be web-based.

Beyond the internal products there is indeed client work, but as you can see from our past projects it's all pretty unique. There is almost always a web component that needs to be UXed and designed.

HEADS UP!
If you indeed catch our eye then we do ask each applicant to take on a small design challenge. We know this can be a bit of an ask, but it's incredibly important to us to see someone's skills in action.

  • Amazing screen-based design skills (be the best designer you know, but never say that outloud)
  • Ability to craft a brand/site/etc from scratch
  • Be open to working on the big stuff and the little stuff

INSTAPRINT SALES AND OPERATIONS MANAGER

We're looking for some help with keeping the business side of Instaprint running and growing. This person should have exquisite communication and organization skills (be in love with spreadsheets and know how to get the most out of them) and be well-versed in social media in general. Daily tasks will include:

- Serving as the primary contact for client interaction, including sales calls for prospective clients and sorting of all logistics for existing clients.
- Hiring, training, managing, and providing second-line support for the team of event staff that will install and maintain Instaprint at live events
- Working with the engineering team to prioritize repairs and enhancements
- Managing the fleet of Instaprint devices to ensure that they are properly maintained

We aren’t looking for any specific professional backgrounds, but given the hybrid nature of this experience could include project or operations management, sales, production, business management, or some combination of these.

INSTAPRINT OPERATOR

We're looking for some folks that can install and maintain Instaprint whenever it's hired for an event. This person should be comfortable with Instagram (obviously), as well as Macs, iPhones and Android phones, but everything required for this job is trainable. Instaprint operators should also be very comfortable working in the (sometimes stressful) world of events and be able to think quickly in order to troubleshoot when things don't go as planned.

For this job, the key is to be very reliable, organized and sociable. You'll be interacting with our clients and their guests and will be in charge of making sure Instaprint runs flawlessly. A flexible schedule is also necessary, since events can take place any day and time. There are a ton of travel opportunities, as well. This is a part-time/freelance job, with pay starting at $18/hour and increasing once you're out on your own. The number of hours each week will vary.

What it's like to work here

We work together, we play together. We're musicians, inventors, jokesters, and buddies. We work hard, but within reason. Sometimes we put some loud music on and work our asses off into the night, but we also know when it's time to hit the pub, or go rock out for a few hours. We tell each other to go on vacation. We make each other coffee. We make sacrifices to avoid taking on work we don't believe in.

We all do lots of things

Our account guys code, our coder guys concept, and our designer guys do spreadsheets. Why? Because they want to, and see the benefits: they move faster, take part more, and produce better work because of it. We like it when people get the itch to try something new and completely different. We wouldn't exist without that.

Everyone works eleven months

Humans function better with the appropriate amount of time to relax. Because of this, every BREAKFAST employee is given lots of vacation days, and encouraged to use them.
