Factory is seeking a Web Designer to own the complete design and development of its website, from concept through production and ongoing iteration. This is a hands-on role for someone who cares deeply about how websites feel in the browser—the rhythm of a page, timing of transitions, and interactive experiences that make complex ideas accessible. You will own Factory's website end-to-end: concept, design, prototyping, frontend development, testing, launch, and continuous improvement. You'll design and build product pages, campaign landing pages, and launch experiences. You'll create and implement motion, animation, and interactions including page transitions, scroll-driven storytelling, hover states, and interactive product demonstrations. You'll evolve the site's visual language and reusable components to enable rapid shipping without sacrificing craft. You'll partner with Marketing and Product to translate technical capabilities into clear, explorable stories. You'll ship frequent content updates and design improvements, maintaining the existing site with the same care as new launches. You'll ensure every experience is responsive, accessible, and fast across all screen sizes and browsers. You'll use analytics, user feedback, and experimentation to improve navigation, engagement, and conversion. Factory is building autonomous software engineering capabilities, and your work will help people understand what that makes possible. This is a full-time, in-office position (5 days/week) in San Francisco, walking distance to Caltrain. QUALIFICATIONS: - Portfolio of live production websites demonstrating strong visual craft and hands-on implementation - Excellent typography, layout, composition, and interaction design skills with ability to create distinct visual identity - Proficiency in Figma with comfortable workflow between design, prototyping, and code - Strong HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills with experience shipping in modern frontend frameworks (React, Next.js) - Experience implementing web animation and motion with understanding of timing, easing, and restraint - Understanding of responsive design, accessibility, browser behavior, and web performance - Ability to take open-ended briefs, propose direction, and carry through implementation while balancing ambitious work with frequent updates - Experience using AI tools to prototype and build with judgment to review and refine outputs - Bonus: creative coding, WebGL, 3D, or animation tools (GSAP, Motion, Rive) - Portfolio submission required with links to shipped websites and notes on personal design and build contributions, ideally showcasing motion and interaction work
