Brand Designer

About SigNoz

SigNoz is an open-source observability platform built on open standards like OpenTelemetry. We help engineering teams visualize metrics, traces, and logs in one place — so they can ship reliable software faster. We’re backed by YC, used by a global developer community, and we build in public.

WHY THIS ROLE

We’re growing our design team and looking for a Brand Designer focused on illustration to craft consistent visual stories across our product, website, docs, marketing campaigns, and community.

If you love turning complex technical ideas into crisp, developer-friendly visuals, you’ll thrive here. We're specifically looking for self-directed, art-ward looking designer who splits their time between taking a stab at making developer tools have a woodstock-esque poster while also looking to finesse the smaller bits that lend soul to what the illustrations look to hype up.

We encourage self-starters and want you to propose ideas and initiatives to take things to the next step (whatever that means).

WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT FIT

• 2–6 years of professional design experience with a strong portfolio of illustration + zines/comic books/product/marketing work.
• Fluency with any vector editing tool. Comfortable delivering clean, vectorized assets.
• You can simplify technical concepts (APIs, pipelines, cloud, OSS) into approachable visuals for a developer audience. You can find/think of pop culture and other historical analogies to riff on top.
• Comfortable working async in a remote, fast-moving, open-source culture.

NICE TO HAVE (NOT MANDATORY)

• Developer/DevTools background (you’ve coded before or designed for developer products).
• Experience with motion (After Effects/Lottie) for micro-animations and launch assets.
• Basic HTML/CSS literacy to collaborate with engineers on asset handoff.
• Experience designing for global OSS communities.

HOW WE WORK

• Remote-first with teammates across time zones; we value clear writing and thoughtful async collaboration.
• Small team, big ownership: you’ll shape our brand visual language.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

• Competitive compensation with equity.
• High ownership, visible impact, and a front-row seat in the open-source observability ecosystem.
• A culture that loves craft, cares about developers, and ships.
