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?
Be part of a great team and work with designers around the world.
Experience working in a company that has strong executive support for Design.
Supportive work environment that will set you on track to start your design career.
Opportunities to take responsibility and grow professionally. We like to Stay Nerdy!
