[Hiring] Brand Designer @Render

Role Description

Render's mission is simple: eliminate the tedious work of building software by providing a cloud platform that just works.

We're evolving from the go-to platform for solo developers into the backbone for fast-scaling teams. Our brand has to evolve with us. Developers already love Render for how it feels to use; now the brand needs to carry that same clarity and confidence everywhere else: on our site, in our campaigns, on a conference floor, and in every launch we put into the world.

As Brand Designer, you'll be a core maker on the brand team. You'll take briefs and turn them into sharp, finished work across campaigns, launches, events, and everyday brand moments. You'll contribute ideas in concept development, own projects from first sketch to final files, and help keep the brand system consistent as it grows. You'll work closely with senior brand designers and creative leads, with plenty of room to take on bigger projects as you grow.

What makes this work hard and interesting:

• Developers are a famously skeptical audience. They can spot marketing gloss from a mile away, and they reward brands that are honest, specific, and a little bit delightful.
• Great brand work here has to earn attention from people who don't want to be sold to. That takes real craft and a good sense of what engineers find genuine.

You'll join a design team that takes its craft seriously, with weekly critiques and deep collaboration with marketing, product, and engineering. You'll thrive here if you love making things, care deeply about the details, and want to grow your craft alongside people who will push you.
