Brand Designer (remote) London, England
Job description
About Xata
At Xata, we believe that data should be easy - plain and simple.
With our serverless data platform, we aim to change the way developers think about working with data. Xata is built on top of proven technologies such as PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch and harnesses the power of these data stores through a premium developer experience geared towards front-end developers. We want our users to only think about the data when building and forego the complexities that come with the databases. Think data, not databases.
Our company is globally distributed and has significant experience building developer solutions at scale in remote working environments. We prioritize hiring a diverse team with people from various backgrounds because we believe this not only provides the best work environment but also delivers the best product.
About the role
Xata is looking for Brand Designer to work hand in hand with our Product Design and marketing teams to define the style of our brand. You'll work with experienced, quality-driven, coding designers who are capable of making sure your wild ideas become possible on our website and marketing materials. We're a startup, and looking for someone that can work quick and show, rather than tell their vision. The right candidate will have full control over defining our brand and will set the tone for how the company is viewed by the outside world. It is high impact and provides ample opportunity for growth. We are looking for someone who can think strategically but isn’t afraid to roll their sleeves up, get their hands dirty and execute.
What you'll achieve
- Design logos, icons and illustrations for our brand within a connected theme
- Pair with product designers to add visual flourish to our website and application
- Create marketing material for our social and marketing efforts
- Create presentation material and swag for high-impact events
Skills you'll bring
- Can present a portfolio that showcases a strong sense of design
- Experience with the digital art software of your choice
- Experience delivering marketing content with little direction
Nice to haves:
- Experience with animation
- Experience with video production
- Experience with 3D software
About our culture
We care about work-life balance

Our founder, Monica Sarbu, founded a non-profit organization called Tupu.io that helps tech companies support diversity in tech through mentorship.
We offer many benefits
