About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Visual Designer to bring visual craft to one of our most dynamic accounts: Uber. This role suits a visual designer who loves systems. You might work within a global app design system one day, design an in-app brand moment the next, and help steer an AI-assisted shoot the day after that.

Please note: This is not a product design or UX role. You won’t own user flows, research or feature design. You’ll own the visual layer (type, color, iconography, illustration and brand expression) and how it scales across a global app design system.

You’ll work closely with senior designers, creative leadership, copy, strategy and Uber’s product teams. Together you’ll turn brand and strategy into well-crafted work that performs in markets around the world.

What you’ll be doing

• Global design systems: Maintain, extend and apply visual components in Uber’s design system and Figma libraries, keeping work consistent and on-brand across markets, languages and platforms.
• In-app brand moments: Design the visual layer of in-app moments, such as promotional placements, campaign takeovers, illustration and iconography, within the system. You’ll partner with the product and UX teams who own the flows.
• CRM & lifecycle: Design lifecycle creative across email, push and in-app messaging.
• Social & content-native: Create social-first, platform-native content and assets.
• AI-assisted production: Develop prompts and guide generative imagery and AI-assisted shoots, so the output is on-brand and ready for production.
• Craft & quality: Set a high bar for typography, layout, color and accessibility (contrast, dark mode, localization) in everything that ships.
• Collaboration: Partner with strategy, copy and account teams, and give and take feedback openly.

Who you are

• Experienced: 5–8 years of visual or graphic design experience, in-house or at an agency, with shipped digital work across in-app, CRM and brand/marketing.
• A systems designer (must-have): You’ve built or maintained the visual elements of a design system, such as icon sets, type scales, color palettes, illustration guidelines and component libraries, and your portfolio shows it.
• Craft-obsessed: Strong fundamentals in typography, composition, color and layout, with a real eye for detail.
• Globally minded: You’ve designed for multiple markets and languages, ideally including right-to-left scripts, and you know accessibility standards.
• Tool-fluent: Expert in Figma (libraries, components, variables) and Adobe Creative Suite. After Effects is a plus.
• AI-native: You already use generative and AI-assisted tools in your creative workflow.
• Self-directed and collaborative: You manage your own work reliably, communicate clearly and do well on a team.

Nice to have

• Experience on a ride-share, delivery or mobility brand
• Motion, 3D or emerging-format work

What we’d like to see in your portfolio

• At least one design systems case study that shows your visual work (icons, type, color, illustration, components) and how it scaled
• Shipped in-app or CRM work
• Brand or campaign work. Case studies built mainly around user research, wireframes or UX flows aren’t the right fit for this role.
