We're looking for a Senior Graphic Designer who brings both creative vision and serious production muscle. You're as comfortable defining a brand's visual language as you are executing pixel-perfect assets across a dozen different formats. You've thrived in fast-moving, highly technical environments — and you know how to make complex subject matter feel clear, compelling, and human. Experience in fintech or financial services is a strong plus: we operate in a trust-sensitive space where design rigor matters. You care about craft, move fast without cutting corners, and know how to set a bar for quality.

What you'll do

• Own the visual execution of brand work end-to-end — from concept through final production
• Design across a full range of surfaces: web, mobile, social media, email, out-of-home, presentations, and print
• Develop and evolve brand systems, including typography, color, iconography, and layout guidelines
• Write copy that supports your designs — headlines, taglines, social captions, and short-form content that's on-brand and on-message
• Create original illustrations that feel distinctly on-brand
• Partner with marketing, product, and content teams to translate briefs into compelling visual work
• Maintain and scale a design system for consistent, efficient production

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of graphic design experience, with a portfolio that shows strong brand sensibility and production range
• Agency experience. You're used to managing multiple workstreams, adapting to different briefs quickly, and delivering polished work under pressure
• Experience in fintech, financial services, or highly technical industries (developer tools, infrastructure, data, enterprise software). You know how to make dense subject matter approachable without losing credibility
• Mastery of Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
• A proven ability to work in and support brand systems, not just one-off pieces
• Experience designing for multiple channels simultaneously, with a clear understanding of format, spec, and context for each
• Strong illustration skills, whether hand-drawn, vector, or a hybrid style
• Excellent typographic instincts and attention to compositional detail
• Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize ruthlessly, and hit deadlines
• Clear, confident communication — you can articulate your design decisions and take feedback well

Nice to have

• Motion design experience (After Effects, Lottie, or similar)
• Experience in a high-growth startup or in-house brand team

How We Take Care of You

• Competitive Salary & Stock Options
• Health Benefits
• New Hire Home-Office Setup: One-time USD $500
• Monthly Stipend: USD $150 per month via a Brex Card
