  • You have the curiosity and desire to learn and grow your skills.
  • You’re passionate about leaving your mark on the web for all to see.

  • Talent to generate creative ideas in a highly interactive environment.
  • The ability to iterate and ship ideas quickly.
  • The ability to juggle multiple projects and timelines.
  • Excel in a team environment and be able to communicate clearly with your peers.

What we offer:

Working for a fast-growing bootstrapped company is a rare opportunity, one we consider a lifestyle choice rather than a job choice. Our positions are challenging, but also come with amazing advantages and fulfillment to those who earn them. Here’s what we offer.
  • Competitive Salary.
  • Health Insurance benefits for full-time U.S. employees.
  • Flexible Schedule – Work from your home. We’re spread out all over the world – United States, UK, Czech Republic, Greece, Pakistan, and more.

  • After one year with the company: 30 calendar days paid maternity/paternity leave, and up to 60 calendar days total time off with position guaranteed.
  • We happily provide or reimburse software you’ll need as well as books or courses that promote continued learning.
  • We give you the opportunity to solve challenging and meaningful problems that makes a difference.
  • Custom Branded laptop at your five year anniversary.
  • We cover all costs of company travel (including our annual all-company retreat and mini-team meetups).
  • Ability to work with some of the best people in the business through frequent, if not daily, interactions.
  • And in case you were wondering: no politics, no b.s., and no jerks.

The successful candidate should have an intimate understanding of how marketing campaigns work, especially in the ecommerce arena. We work in a fast-paced environment, so the ideal Graphic Designer will be able to hit the ground running as soon as we conceive of a new project.

Your graphics should capture the attention of those who see them and communicate the right message. For this, you need to have a creative flair and a strong ability to translate requirements into design. If you can communicate well and work methodically as part of a team, we'd like to meet you.

  • Obtain approval of concept by submitting rough layouts for approval
  • Test graphics across various media
  • Amend designs after feedback
  • Work with copywriters and marketers to produce final designs
  • Prepare finished assets that adhere to established style guidelines and required technical specifications
  • Manage archives of graphic design assets and materials
  • Maintain technical knowledge with ongoing professional education
  • Contribute to team effort by accomplishing related tasks as needed

Skills and abilities you'll need
  • 3-5 years experience in professional commercial design
  • A portfolio that demonstrates strong graphic design and layout skills
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Deadline and detail-oriented, with the ability to thrive in a remote work environment
  • Creative and analytical skills
  • Ability to absorb and apply constructive criticism from peers
  • Persistence and resilience (a sense of humor helps)
  • Extensive knowledge of desktop publishing tools and graphic design software (such as Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Inkscape, GIMP)
