We have a simple yet ambitious goal; to sell train tickets in the easiest way possible for all European destinations. Booking a train should be just as simple as hopping on a train.

Capitaine Train was founded by 3 engineers obsessed with simplicity. Our organisational structure is very simple and linear: those who make product decisions are the same ones who build them. We are a young and small start-up (40 people) and we are growing very quickly. Your work will have a direct and visible impact on the growth of our company.

Our beautiful office is located in the heart of Paris. We’re surrounded by bars, restaurants, theatres, startups and are near the four main Parisian train stations. We offer a great package including fixed and variable salaries, an awesome health coverage plan plus stock options.

You

Everyday, you are complaining that [insert popular startup]’s interface is broken. You might have already redesigned it for fun. You know how to design great interfaces that people use and enjoy.

You know that doing simple things is the hardest thing in the world and that each problem needs its own solution. You like to handle hundreds of parameters in your head and solve each of them to get a result that seems obvious.

Role

You will design the experience of our customers on our web, iOS and Android platforms. You will sketch wireframes and design interactions, and make them as clear as possible for the product and engineering team. You will make sure of every detail and every word. You will paint the back of the fence.

Requirements

• Strong copywriting skills and perfect spelling,
• Fantastic problem solving skills,
• Excellent prototyping skills,
• Deep knowledge of web and mobile design constraints,
• Strong HTML and CSS skills. Really.
• Lover of details.

Pluses

• Experience with any programming languages,

• Experience in any graphic-related field (film, photo, etc.),
• Experience in data visualisation.

Write us an email explaining:

1. What you liked about our product and why.
2. What you disliked in our product and how you would solve that.
3. What Captain Train’s next feature should be (bonus for sketching/prototyping it).

We don’t really concentrate on résumés. Focus on describing your projects, your experiences and what you would like to bring to the team. Twitter usernames or any written works are really useful to us.
