Graphic Designer / Creative Engineer

We're hiring a Graphic Designer/Creative Engineer. The kind of person who can take design off the founder's plate entirely and push the brand's look somewhere better than he could take it himself.

You'll own the visual layer of a growing consumer brand end to end: main images, Amazon A+ content, the Shopify catalogue, ad and listing videos, the Brand Store, packaging. Everything a customer sees before they buy. You'll run image split tests to find what actually converts, render concepts for new products, and use AI to move faster on all of it. You'll have full access to Claude and whatever comes next.

This isn't a production-artist role where you wait for briefs. It's a design role with taste and real ownership. If you already make excellent work with minimal direction, and you want more autonomy, smarter tools, and a founder who'll get out of your way once you've earned it, read on.


YOU SHOULD APPLY IF

You make genuinely excellent, tasteful work with minimal direction. Your portfolio shows clean, modern, typographically literate design that would raise the bar on a brand, made without a creative director standing over you. This is the one thing we care about most.
You're an expert retoucher. Clean cutouts, correct colour, and sharp product images are second nature, not a stretch.
You can edit video end to end: cut, sound, thumbnail, export. Ad and listing content, not just stills.
You're AI-fluent (the Creative Engineer aspect). You actively use AI image and video tools in your daily work and you're always hunting the next one. Comfortable with prompting for product and environment shots.
You have a real eye for what sells online. You think about the customer looking at a listing, not just the composition.
You know Photoshop, Illustrator and Figma inside out.
Your written and spoken English is good enough to work async and take feedback cleanly.

DON'T APPLY IF

Your work is competent but generic, or only good when someone else art-directs it
You need a detailed brief to produce something good. Minimal direction is how we work
You treat AI as "something to dabble with" rather than core to how you work
You only do stills and can't or won't edit video
You don't much care whether the thing you made actually sells

BENEFITS

US $1,800 to $2,000/month
