  That is Changing The Way The World Architects UI
 

A 40-member business unit invented a new approach that breaks through the boundaries of the 3-decades old user interface discipline. Part of Cognizant Technology Solutions, the group architects user interfaces for business applications ... for customers, most of them North American companies.

The group has executed more UI projects (375-plus) than any comparable group in history. For both the trainee and the experienced, the group offers training/mentoring that is simply not available anywhere else. To bring business and technology perspectives, the group conducts world-class research (there is even a research team as part of this group). The group is dynamic, always moving up, and therefore several years ahead of time in thought and in practice.

Customers consistently get measurable and dramatic ROI ... reason why the group made a sales presentation practically every other working day in Q1 of 2006 alone (these presentations have a high success rate of winning new customers and software projects). Based on the new ROI, customers are changing their thinking and their buying habits.

If you have ...

  1. "Change The World" at the top of your To-Do list
  2. A good degree in Engineering or in Science with CS/Math/Stat/Physics
  3. One to 8 years experience in usability and/or leadership
