Required

7+ years of experience in visual or brand design (ideally in-house, in a small tech environment)

Strong portfolio demonstrating art direction, illustration, brand identity, motion, and high-fidelity UI work

Experience designing within product constraints — engineering realities, design systems, accessibility needs — in close collaboration with product managers and product designers

Experience executing within Webflow sites, including tokenized class systems, responsive layouts, interactions, and motion

You don't need to code, but you understand technical mechanics and can creatively work within them

A master of the craft – Hyperreal and caricature. Painting, drawing, and sculpture. You have a deep understanding of the foundations of visual form, and you know how to dissect, explore, and emulate a wide range of styles to meet the needs at hand

A visual storyteller – You know how to take complex ideas and abstract messaging and turn them into clean, compelling visuals

Technical curiosity – Technical things don't scare you — they're just the underpinnings of digital art. Fractals, color models, vector networks, AI — it fascinates you and helps you more deeply understand your work

Strong language instincts – You have firm command of written English. You can draft and refine copy as part of your design work, catch phrasing or grammar issues, and suggest improvements to clarity, tone, and length as needed

Startup-ready & scrappy – You thrive in fast-moving environments and can execute independently. You are collaborative, proactive, responsive, and good at managing priorities
