Synthetic is a financial operations platform built for software companies, handling contracts, billing, accounting, invoicing, and payments. 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 role based in San Francisco with flexibility to work remotely from anywhere in the US, Canada, or Mexico, with one week per month required on-site in San Francisco. The role spans three areas: **Brand**: Define and maintain Synthetic's visual identity and voice across all touchpoints, ensuring consistency. **Marketing**: Design and build the website, landing pages, and launch materials in collaboration with the growth marketing team. **Product**: Build and iterate on product features using TypeScript and SvelteKit alongside the engineering team. You'll work in a fast-paced environment where shipped work reaches real customers within days or hours. The company values pragmatism, speed, and directness. **Requirements:** - Demonstrated taste in design with a portfolio showing work across brand, marketing, and product - Ability to ship your own designs in HTML/CSS/TypeScript (not just Figma mockups) - Experience working at early-stage companies with a pragmatic, fast-moving approach - Strong attention to detail and intolerance for unnecessary complexity - Work authorization in the US, Canada, or Mexico (visa sponsorship not available for this role)
