An early-stage AI fintech startup is hiring a Brand Designer with 3+ years of experience to shape how the product looks, sounds, and feels everywhere. This is the second design hire on a small team, joining right before public launch. Looking for a design-first builder with sharp brand taste who brings their own point of view and pushes back on current work.
What you'll do
- Help define the brand: look, voice, and consistency everywhere it shows up
- Design and build the website, landing pages, and launch materials with the new Head of Growth Marketing
- Fill gaps for the first Design Engineer, especially on brand and marketing, and challenge existing ideas
- Make product tweaks in TypeScript/SvelteKit alongside engineers and ship to customers within days or hours
- Report directly to the founder; work across product, engineering, and GTM
The company is building an all-in-one, AI-native financial platform for software businesses, aiming to replace the small-business bookkeeper. Contracts, billing, invoicing, payments, and accounting are rebuilt in one platform with AI agents handling busywork. The team is a small group of startup veterans shipping in days or hours, with high standards and candor. On-site expectation is 6 days a week in San Francisco with flexible hours; a remote option is available at a lower base. Open to visa transfers and new sponsorship.
- 3+ years of design or design engineering experience (UX/UI titles fine; leans design over engineering)
- Standout portfolio across brand, marketing, and product (required; it is the first screen)
- Ships own designs in HTML, CSS, and TypeScript without help, not just Figma
- Experience building fast at startups or high design bar companies (Linear, Ramp, Mercury, Stripe, Retool)
- Strong visual and brand taste and own design point of view
- Base salary with equity grant
- Health benefits
- Flexible hours
- Visa transfers and new sponsorship considered
- Remote option available at adjusted base
