Designer
ApplyA place where venture firms and tech startups turn for design. Allegedly.
Trusted by Kraken, AngelList, Morning Brew and more.
What you'd actually be doing
You'd work day-to-day with our head of delivery, who runs the projects. She keeps things on track so you can stay in the work. But you're not hidden behind her either. You'll write to clients, join workshops, and present your own work. If you'd rather never talk to a client, this isn't the right fit.
Every project runs with two designers. Nobody ships alone here. That means you always have someone to argue with about the spacing, and someone who can cover you when you're out.
The work splits between brand, web, and product. Our clients are venture firms, fintech, crypto, and AI/dev tools. Some projects are a full rebrand. Some are a website where the hard part is figuring out what the company should say about itself. Some are the product itself: dashboards, onboarding, the screens people use every day.
Recent projects: Langfuse, Kraken, Morning Brew. Clients range from seed rounds to public companies. Most are US-based, so you'll write English more often than you speak it.
Typical rhythm: two or three projects in flight, four to eight weeks each. Both designers are named on the work.
Who we're looking for
While everyone has their own sweet spot of skills and preferred domains, we believe in designers who don't like to be categorized solely as a "website designer" or a "ux designer". We believe creative talents should have a way to manifest themselves in various forms.
If you check at least two out of these five checkboxes:
- Strong affinity for brand design and web design
- Can prototype your own concepts (Webflow/v0/Lovable/Bolt or write actual React code)
- In love with perfecting UI details and microinteractions.
- Natural born animator living in AE, Jitter, Cinema etc.
- Copywriting ownership - words matter to you just as much as the visual language
Must-haves
- Figma mastery
- Basic understanding of the industry (venture capital/fintech/SaaS startups)
- English B2/C1
