Designer (Brand and Marketing)

⚠️ Please read first

This is a full-time, in-person role based in San Francisco (Presidio) - we work from the office 5 days a week. You must be based in the Bay Area or willing to relocate before starting. We require US work authorisation, but are open to O-1 or J-1 visa sponsorship for exceptional candidates.

About The Role

We're looking for a Designer to make Sauna beautiful — from the brand that represents it to the pixel-perfect screens users see every day. This isn't an abstract "design thinking" role. You'll take user flows the product team has designed and execute them to the highest visual standard: typography, color, spacing, interactions, all of it. You'll also own how Sauna looks to the world — brand guidelines, marketing materials, and the visual identity that earns attention.

Heads-up: while we don't use seniority titles at Wordware, this role is intended for designers with 3+ years of experience who have already shipped polished work at a company that cares about craft.

What you'll be doing:

Turn user flows into pixel-perfect, production-ready Figma filesWork closely with the product designer and engineering to ensure visual fidelity across all surfacesBuild and maintain brand guidelines: typography, color, iconography, visual languageDesign all outward-facing brand assets: website, social, launch content, decksOwn the visual consistency of the product across web, mobile, and emailMove fast — iterate on designs in hours, not days

You should probably:

Have 3+ years of visual design experience, with a portfolio that shows pixel-level craftBe proficient in Figma — you prototype and specify in Figma faster than anyoneUnderstand the difference between design and art: every decision serves a user and a goalHave strong brand instincts — you can take a brand direction and build a complete system from itBe able to execute from a brief without needing to own the strategyWork cleanly: organized files, clear naming, design systems you'd actually want to maintain

If you have:

These capabilities would make you exceptionally suited for the role.

Experience at a fast-growing startup that shipped a polished consumer productMotion design skills (Figma prototyping, Lottie, After Effects)Experience designing for both product and brand in the same companyA personal aesthetic — something distinct in your portfolio that isn't just "clean and minimal"AI tools already in your workflow (Figma AI, code assistants, etc.)A portfolio of brand work: logos, visual identities, design systems
