Fundamentals of Design — Demonstrate an understanding of the 7 principles of design, typography, color theory — you don’t need to be an expert, but having the basic knowledge is beneficial.

About Liferay
How Do Liferay’s Core Values Look in the Design Team?
Produce excellence — we strive to become masters in our craft, doing the right thing even if no one notices.
Lead by serving — we’re all willing to do the unglamourous work and always looking for opportunities to help others.
Value people — we listen first and believe that everyone can contribute because there is strength in diversity.
Grow and get better — we’re always learning, when we find ways to improve our designs we take them, when we make mistakes we admit, apologize, and move forward. We fail a lot, but we aren’t failures because we learn and improve.
Stay nerdy — we live and breathe design, but we also have passions outside of work — rock climbing, coffee, photography, writing — and pursue them to the n-th degree.
What Can We Offer You?
A place to make a lasting impact — we strongly believe in using business as a tool for restoration. Think Patagonia’s commitment to the environment, just extended to the whole world. Some initiatives that we’ve recently worked in are fighting human trafficking, helping foster youth, and serving refugees.
Salary package commensurate with qualifications and experience.
40 hours per year to volunteer at a nonprofit of your choice.
