Cantina is looking for a Senior Visual Designer with serious graphic design chops and strong art direction instincts to shape how Cantina looks. You’ll be the keeper of the brand across every surface, from the website and campaigns to launch films, title treatments, in-app announcements, and printed posters.

You’ll develop a visual concept, get others excited about it, and execute the details yourself, with great typography, bold composition, and images that make you stop.

We’re open to a range of backgrounds. You might be a graphic and brand designer who also animates, or a motion designer and video editor with a strong design eye. Either way, great design comes first.

• Own and evolve our visual identity across web, social, print, campaigns, and in-app product marketing surfaces.

• Lead art direction for campaigns, product launches, and branded content, developing concepts, mood boards, visual references, and design treatments that give the work a clear direction.

• Shape the look of launch films, trailers, and feature videos for our biggest product moments, designing and animating where it fits your strengths.

• Make exceptional graphic design: campaign identities, key art, posters, title treatments, layouts, social assets, and launch materials with strong typography and a distinctive visual language.

• Work alongside a team of video editors, motion designers, illustrators, and AI filmmakers, giving specific visual feedback and staying involved through final execution.

• Design websites, landing pages, and in-app marketing surfaces that bring the brand to life and make the product easy to understand.

• Create motion graphics, animated typography, and transitions that extend the visual identity into video.

• Stay hands-on: explore different directions, build the assets, sweat the spacing, and get the work out into the world.

• A portfolio (and a reel, if you have one) grounded in graphic design and brand identity, with strong examples of art direction across campaigns and multiple mediums.

• Exceptional typography, layout, composition, color, and image-making skills. You can make a single poster feel special and carry that same idea across an entire campaign.

• Experience taking a loose brief and turning it into a compelling visual concept, then directing and executing the work through production.

• Great taste and the ability to explain your decisions. You know when a design needs more energy, more restraint, or a completely different idea.

• Strong web design skills and experience translating a brand into responsive digital experiences.

• Proficiency in Figma, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Experience with motion and video tools like After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or AI video tools is a plus.

• Experience incorporating generative AI into your creative process, with the craft to art direct, composite, retouch, and finish the…
