As a staff-level Brand Designer, you will have major influence over every brand surface, including the marketing website, campaigns, events, and editorial projects. You will join Modal's newly formed Brand team as one of its first senior hires, working directly with the Director of Brand Design and Head of Design to build a brand that developers recognize instantly and remember. As the studio grows, you'll help set its craft standard, guiding and mentoring earlier-career designers and shaping how the team critiques, ships, and shows work.

- Lead concept and execution for brand campaigns across digital and out-of-home, ensuring consistency and performance.
- Own branded experiences for events and go-to-market strategies, including environments, collateral, swag, and conference presence.
- Codify the brand as it matures by designing language, principles, and rules.
- Mentor and critique the work of other designers to maintain coherence and ambition.
- Move quickly without sacrificing quality.
Requirements
- 7+ years of brand design experience, building brands for technically complex products like developer tools, infrastructure, or AI.
- Ability to make deeply technical subjects feel compelling and clear.
- High influence and low ego, with a collaborative and positive attitude.
- A portfolio demonstrating exceptional typography, color, composition, and a recognizable point of view.
- Experience designing brand systems that extend from identity to motion to web.
- Ability to interpret and contribute to brand strategy.
- Takes ownership seriously, drives work to completion, and raises the quality bar.
- Strong taste and the ability to defend it, while also taking feedback well.
