Please read first This is a full-time, in-person role based in San Francisco (Presidio) - we work from the office 5 days a week . You must be based in the Bay Area or willing to relocate before starting . We require US work authorisation , but are open to O-1 or J-1 visa sponsorship for exceptional candidates. About the role We’re looking for a Designer to make Sauna beautiful — from the brand that represents it to the pixel‑perfect screens users see every day. This isn’t an abstract “design thinking” role. You’ll take user flows the product team has designed and execute them to the highest visual standard: typography, color, spacing, interactions, all of it. You’ll also own how Sauna looks to the world — brand guidelines, marketing materials, and the visual identity that earns attention. Heads-up: while we don’t use seniority titles at Wordware, this role is intended for designers with 3+ years of experience who have already shipped polished work at a company that cares about craft. What you’ll be doing: Turn user flows into pixel‑perfect, production‑ready Figma files Work closely with the product designer and engineering to ensure visual fidelity across all surfaces Build and maintain brand guidelines: typography, color, iconography, visual language Design all outward‑facing brand assets: website, social, launch content, decks Own the visual consistency of the product across web, mobile, and email Move fast — iterate on designs in hours, not days You should probably: Have 3+ years of visual design experience, with a portfolio that shows pixel‑level craft Be proficient in Figma — you prototype and specify in Figma faster than anyone Understand the difference between design and art: every decision serves a user and a goal Have strong brand instincts — you can take a brand direction and build a complete system from it Be able to execute from a brief without needing to own the strategy Work cleanly: organized files, clear naming, design systems you’d actually want to maintain If you have: These capabilities would make you exceptionally suited for the role. Experience at a fast‑growing startup that shipped a polished consumer product Motion design skills (Figma prototyping, Lottie, After Effects) Experience designing for both product and brand in the same company A personal aesthetic — something distinct in your portfolio that isn’t just “clean and minimal” AI tools already in your workflow (Figma AI, code assistants, etc.) A portfolio of brand work: logos, visual identities, design systems Compensation & Benefits Base salary: $140K–$220K + meaningful early‑stage equity + health, dental, 401(k), considerable PTO, gym budget, lunch. #J-18808-Ljbffr
