Skills
Job Description
Inngest is a developer-focused platform that helps engineers build reliable workflows with ease. We’re looking for a Brand Designer to join our team and execute on a brand that developers love. If you’re proactive, creative, and excited to collaborate with a team building the best developer experience (DX), this role is for you.
The Role
You'll bring Inngest's brand to life across marketing, sales, and community channels by executing on a wide range of deliverables. You'll work closely with our Head of Design, marketing, Devrel, and sales to turn briefs into polished work that's on-brand, on-time, and built for a developer audience.
You'll join a small, passionate team of designers, engineers, and marketers who care deeply about building products with best-in-class developer experience. This is a high-variety role where no two weeks look the same.
This is a US-based remote role. We're remote first, with a few folks working together in-person in SF.
What You’ll Do
Digital: Ad creative, landing pages, social graphics, email templates, blog visuals, sales decks, long-form reports and guides. Anything that lives on a screen and needs to look like Inngest. You'll build templates and systems that let us ship fast without things getting sloppy.
Physical: Swag that developers actually keep. Tees, stickers, hats, and weirder stuff for launches and milestones. You'll work with vendors, understand production constraints, and know what happens when a design that looked perfect in Figma meets a screen printer.
Experiential: Booth graphics, signage, banners, badges, conference materials, and whatever else we need to show up well at events. When bigger opportunities come along (think out-of-home, pop-ups, environmental stuff), you'll be the one making them look great.
Brand consistency across all of it You'll have opinions about where the system could grow, and we want to hear them, but your core job is executing within our guidelines and making sure everything feels unmistakably like Inngest regardles
What You Need to Succeed
3-5 years of brand design experience. Fluent in Figma, comfortable in Illustrator and InDesign, and able to adapt a brand system across formats that have nothing in common with each other.
Print and production management skills. You understand bleeds, dielines, CMYK, and what happens when a design meets a screen printer
Developer empathy. You don't need to code, but you need to care about understanding our audience and be willing to ask a lot of questions.
Speed and range. You can bounce between projects without losing quality or losing your mind.
Communication skills. You can explain your design decisions, take feedback without taking it personally, and collaborate effectively over Slack and Zoom. We're remote, so writing clearly matters a lot.
Bonus Points
Programmatic & ABM experience. You've designed for account-based marketing programs. Personalized landing pages, targeted ad variations, 1:1 direct mail. You know how to keep quality high across dozens of variations.
AI-augmented workflows. You're already using tools like Cursor, Claude, or Midjourney to move faster and do more ambitious work than you could alone. Not replacing craft with prompts, but extending it.
Motion and animation. After Effects, Lottie, CSS animations. Subtle movement that makes things feel alive.
What Your First 90 Days Will Look Like
Week 1. Get to know our team and how we work. You’ll dive into our brand guidelines, explore existing design assets, and learn about our developer audience. Expect lots of “hello’s” on Slack and a friendly onboarding to our design files.
By Day 30. You’ll be fully integrated into our weekly workflow. You might have already designed a few blog post graphics or ad creative. You’ll understand our product, our users (developers!), and our marketing strategy deeply enough to start executing effiently on ideas.
By Day 90. You've delivered on something big. Maybe it's a full campaign's worth of creative, a suite of conference materials, or a polished report series. Your work is live and developers are seeing it.
Why Inngest?
Developer-Focused Mission: Everything we do is for developers. As a Brand Designer, you’ll help make complex, technical concepts feel approachable and exciting. Your work will attract and inspire the developers who use our platform.
Small & Impactful Team: You’ll be joining a tight-knit team of ~20 people. No red tape, no layers of bureaucracy — just a group of passionate people building something big together.
Growth & Learning: As an early design hire, you’ll have a broad scope and the chance to wear many hats. Interested in UX or product design? You’ll get exposure to that too, working alongside our product designer and engineers.
Competitive Benefits: We offer competitive salary, equity, health/dental/vision (US), 4 weeks vacation (plus local holidays), a new MacBook Pro, and more. We believe in taking care of our team.
