Brand Designer

About the company

Our client is a fast-growing software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the visual identity and tone of voice for a growing software business ahead of a major public launch, while also pitching in on product interface work. This is an early, high-ownership position reporting directly to the founder and collaborating with product, engineering and go-to-market colleagues.

What you'll do

• Establish how the brand looks and sounds, and keep it consistent across every touchpoint.
• Create and implement the company's web presence and launch collateral with marketing leadership.
• Back up the existing design engineer on brand and marketing projects, offering honest critique and alternative ideas.
• Make front-end product improvements in TypeScript alongside engineers and release them to users within days or hours.
• Report to the founder and partner across product, engineering and go-to-market teams.

Requirements

What we're looking for

• At least 3 years in design or design engineering; UX/UI backgrounds are welcome, though the role leans more toward design than engineering.
• A standout portfolio spanning brand, marketing and product work, which is the first screening step.
• A track record of delivering both product interface design and marketing-oriented creative work.
• Comfort taking your own designs all the way to working front-end code in HTML, CSS and TypeScript, beyond a design tool.
• Experience moving quickly in startups or teams known for a high design bar.
• Strong visual and brand sensibility with a distinct point of view.
• Willingness to question existing work and give candid feedback.
• Valid US work authorization.

Bonus points

• Experience in fintech or fintech-adjacent companies.
• Experience with SvelteKit.
