Weâre looking for a Brand Designer to join the Brand Design team and help bring the Tailscale brand to life across marketing, web, and internal initiatives. This is a full-time role with availability during standard working hours.
As a key contributor on a small but high-performing team, youâll work closely with senior designers, marketers, and cross-functional partners to create clean, thoughtful, and technically sound design assets. Youâll translate complex ideas into approachable visuals while maintaining consistency and craftsmanship across everything you touch.
This role is ideal for someone early in their career who is excited to work within a refined design system while helping it grow, evolve, and scale.
Key Responsibilities
Support brand expression across channels
Design and iterate in Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign (After Effects a plus) maintaining clean files, components, and layers.
Create high-quality assets for web, social, presentations, campaigns, and events while staying true to brand guidelines.
Handle production tasks: prepping print files, exporting web assets, and managing organized libraries.
Adapt and extend designs across multiple formats to ensure clarity, consistency, and accessibility.
Contribute to a scalable design system by keeping components, templates, and layouts organized.
Help create diagrams and technical visualizations that simplify complex ideas into intuitive graphics.
Collaborate in a remote-first environment
Share progress openly with a distributed team across multiple time zones.
Ask questions early, seek context, and incorporate feedback effectively.
Communicate proactively around priorities, blockers, and deadlines.
What We Are Looking For
Proficiency in Figma and comfort working within a design system or structured visual language
Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign); motion skills in After Effects are a plus but not required.
Strong grasp of design fundamentals: typography, layout, color, balance, and hierarchy
Experience designing landing pages, marketing pages, or UI components for modern responsive or adaptive layouts
Excellent communication skills, especially when working remotely and asynchronously
Strong attention to detail and organized file management (clean layers and labeled components make us very happy)
Ability to take direction, ask clarifying questions, and thoughtfully incorporate feedback
Curiosity about tech
