Clickpass is an angel-funded startup working on OpenID. Our remit is to make OpenID useable by the masses and consumer friendly and our product does exactly that. We are Oxford and Cambridge graduates from the UK and were also part of this summer’s Y-Combinator programme in Boston as well as having funding from angels in the Valley and the UK.

There are currently three of us in the company and we are looking to bring a designer initially on an contract basis for 4-7 weeks but with a view to a full time position including equity.

The theme and design of our site is currently in place and more is being produced each day. We would however like someone to join us who can loop back over what has already been done and bring the quality of the layout and finish up by a notch.

You should be keen to take on the weight of the design and HTML/CSS work within the team and have a passion for creating great UI. You will be working with a product manager who will be producing wireframes and user-flow and doing so in an iterative environment.

If you're excited by being part of one of the product that will push OpenID to its tipping point that's something we strongly value.

*Requirements*
- Solid grounding in semantic HTML/CSS
- Solid demonstrable grounding in design
- Ability to work fast, iterate and to work within an existing HTML and designs
- Solid portfolio of work including examples of UI (not just static web-pages)
- Simple illustrative skills
- Ability to work onsite in San Francisco (North Beach)
- Willingness to work across the whole spectrum of design/slicing/wire-framing as well as sometimes being restricted to working in only one field as required
- Understanding of AJAX principles and how they impact HTML/CSS (actual Javascript skills not required)

*Desirables*
- Interest in a permanent position
- Rails experience
- AJAX experience
- SVN experience
- Flash/Flex
- Copywriting skills

*Perks*
- Free drinks, fruit and snacks in the office
- Breakfast out every Wednesday
- Occasional (optional) activity weekends (last one was white water rafting)
- Great office environment
- Be surrounded by English accents
- OpenID - it’s one of the hottest spaces to be in!

Wow. I'm at DigitalID World in San Francisco and Orange (France Telecom) just announced that they're going to not only become an OpenID producer but also a consumer. Anyone with an OpenID will be able to log into Orange services and anyone with an Orange account can create an OpenID from it - another 70M users.

The really impressive thing is the consumption side of things. Being an OpenID provider is a bit of a no-brainer for anyone who sits down and really thinks about it but being a consumer is a big step for a company to take but one that really makes the ecosystem work. More very good news for OpenID.
