Synthetic is a financial operations platform built for software companies, handling contracts, billing, invoicing, payments, and accounting. The company recently raised $10M from Khosla Ventures and others, and is preparing to launch its product.
You'll join a 7-person team as the second design hire, reporting directly to the founder. This is a hybrid design and engineering role spanning three areas:
**Brand**: Define and maintain Synthetic's visual identity and voice across all touchpoints, ensuring consistency in how the company presents itself.
**Marketing**: Design and build the website, landing pages, and launch materials in collaboration with the growth marketer.
**Product**: Build and refine features using TypeScript and SvelteKit alongside the engineering team, shipping code directly to production.
The environment is fast-paced and early-stage. Work ships to real customers within days or hours. The team works in-person in San Francisco 6 days a week, though the company is flexible on hours and cares about outcomes over presence.
**Requirements**
- Strong design taste and judgment
- Ability to ship your own designs in HTML/CSS/TypeScript (not just Figma mockups)
- Portfolio demonstrating range across brand, marketing, and product work
- Pragmatic, fast-moving approach suited to early-stage environments
- High standards for quality and low tolerance for unnecessary complexity
