## Description

PlanetScale is growing rapidly and reinventing the database space. Our database platform offers developers the fastest and most reliable Postgres and Vitess/MySQL databases, enabling businesses to efficiently handle data and workloads of all sizes.

We're looking for a Brand Designer to help shape and evolve the visual identity of PlanetScale across all touchpoints. In this role, you'll be a key member of our Marketing team, translating complex technical concepts into compelling visual stories that resonate with developers and technical decision-makers.

## Responsibilities

### Visual Brand Development

- Design web graphics including technical diagrams, illustrations, and interactive visual assets that simplify complex database concepts.

- Create compelling visual systems for campaigns, product launches, and marketing initiatives.

- Design for multiple formats and contexts: digital, print, experiential, and merchandise.

### In-Person Experiences

- Design booth graphics, signage, and environmental branding for conferences, meetups, and community events.

- Collaborate with the events team to create memorable, on-brand experiences that stand out.

- Design merch that developers actually want to wear and use.

- Create branded collateral including banners, posters, stickers, and promotional materials.

### Website and Digital Assets

- Design creative website components and landing pages.

- Design data visualizations and technical diagrams that make complex information accessible.

- Create social media graphics, blog post imagery, and other digital marketing assets.

- Develop templates and design systems that enable the team to move quickly.

### Brand Evolution

- Collaborate with marketing leadership to evolve and expand the PlanetScale brand identity.

- Explore new visual directions while maintaining brand coherence.

- Document design decisions and maintain brand guidelines.

## Requirements

- A strong portfolio demonstrating versatile design skills across digital, print, and experiential design.

- Deep understanding of design fundamentals: typography, color, composition, and visual hierarchy.

- You've figured out where AI actually helps in a design workflow and built process around it.

- Comfortable working in both brand and production modes. You can think big picture and execute in the details.

- Strong communication skills with the ability to both articulate design decisions and understand direction.

- Self-directed and able to manage multiple projects with competing deadlines.

- Collaborative spirit with the ability to incorporate feedback while maintaining creative vision.

## Nice to Have

- Experience designing for technical or developer-focused brands.

- Proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and other design tools.
