We’re looking for an experienced Senior Visual Designer to join our five-person marketing team. You’ll bring excellent visual instincts and strong technical skills, with the ability to take a project from a rough idea through polished final execution.

First and foremost, we're looking for a great designer. Strong typography, layout, composition, branding, and visual communication skills are essential.
