Synthetic Brand Designer at Synthetic responsible for shaping the company's visual identity across brand, marketing, and product. Collaborate with the design team and engineers to create compelling designs that ship quickly to customers.
Responsibilities
We'll be launching the product soon. We're hiring a Brand Designer to join our 7-person team and shape how Synthetic looks and feels everywhere. This is our second design hire. You'll work alongside our first designer and report directly to the founder.
We're looking for someone with exceptional visual taste who can turn ambitious ideas into work that actually ships. Your work will span brand, marketing, and product:
Brand. Shape Synthetic's visual identity, from typography and imagery to motion, art direction, and the details that make a brand recognizable.
Marketing. Design our website, launches, campaigns, social content, and everything else that introduces Synthetic to the world.
Product. Bring our brand into the product, working alongside our designer and engineers to make every interaction feel distinctly Synthetic.
Experiment. Explore tools like Cursor and Claude Code to prototype ideas and bring designs to life. You don't need to be an engineer, but you should be curious about what you can build.
We work fast. When you ship work it'll be in front of real customers within days or hours.
Job Requirements
Taste. You know great design when you see it, can explain why it works, and have a portfolio that proves you can make it.
Visual instinct. You have an exceptional eye for typography, composition, color, and the small details that make something memorable.
Range. You've created work across brand, web, marketing, or product that you're genuinely excited to show.
Ownership. You can take an ambiguous idea and turn it into something compelling without waiting for someone to tell you exactly what to do.
