Role overview

We're looking for a Brand Design Lead with sharp taste and the ambition to define how a category-defining infrastructure project looks, feels, and is remembered. When breakthrough technology meets tasteful design, magic happens. The ideal candidate has obsessive attention to detail, an instinct for what makes a brand feel inevitable, and can span across a wide surface area: from the site and visual identity, to X posts and product UI. While we appreciate experience, we're open to junior candidates: what matters most is taste, drive, and a body of work that proves you can be the next Jony Ive.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the visual identity and evolve it into something the industry recognizes on sight.

• Ship marketing assets for our launch moments, X posts, swag and developer-facing collateral (hackathons, hacker houses etc..)

• Set the design bar internally, push back on shortcuts, raise the floor of everything we ship

• Design our product UI, or help other founders shipping consumer-facing products understand how a 10-star experience should look and feel.

Qualifications

• A portfolio that speaks for itself: strong typographic instincts, clear visual hierarchy, and at least one project that feels distinctive.

• Fluency in modern design tools (Figma, Adobe Suite, design systems, AI tools)

• Customer obsession, a growth mindset, and a bias toward action.

• High agency; comfortable owning end-to-end work without senior hand-holding on every decision.

• Excited by the intersection of brand & technology and willing to operate across these fields.

Bonus if:

• You can move comfortably between brand and product design. Most designers are strong in one, not both

• You have a side practice (motion, 3D, type, illustration, code, anything really) that shows up in your work.

Benefits:

• Competitive cash compensation + stock options (signing bonus & performance-based)

• Fully remote, flexible working schedule

• Paid offsites, conferences and travels.

• Medical, Dental, Vision insurance

• Laptop and/or budget for work equipment and tools
