⚠️ Please read first

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.
