Job Description

We’re looking for a full-time Designer who can move fast, own projects end-to-end, and bring both taste and execution to everything from product screens to brand moments. This is a high-autonomy role. You’ll have the space to create, the responsibility to lead design direction, and the chance to make a visible mark on how the world experiences our product.

What you’ll do:

  • Own design across product, brand, and marketing.
  • Create polished, intuitive UI/UX in Figma, with a strong eye for interaction and usability.
  • Lead motion design projects: animations, micro-interactions, short videos, and visuals that make our product come alive.
  • Build and evolve our brand system including visual identity, style guidelines, and campaign concepts.
  • Partner with product and leadership to translate abstract ideas into high-impact visuals.
  • Prototype quickly, test ideas, and ship work that pushes the product forward.

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong portfolio spanning UI/UX, motion design, and branding.
  • Expert in Figma, comfortable creating both systems and pixel-perfect detail.
  • Ability to shift between creating high-level concepts and hands-on execution.
  • Strong taste, with a sense for modern design patterns and able to bend them when it creates something better.
  • Independent operator who thrives with high autonomy and low bureaucracy.

Why join:

  • Direct impact: You’ll define the visual language of the company.
  • Creative freedom: High trust, high ownership environment.
  • Early-stage: The brand and product are still being defined, so your fingerprints will be everywhere.
  • Smart, fast-moving team that values good design as much as good code.
