Inngest is a developer-focused platform that helps engineers build reliable workflows with ease. We’re looking for a Communications Designer to join our team and shape a brand that developers love. If you’re proactive, creative, and excited to collaborate with a team building the best developer experience (DX), this role is for you.

The Role

You’ll be the designer behind Inngest’s visual identity, working closely with marketing and the broader team to craft a cohesive brand experience across all channels. From the website to event graphics, you’ll be defining how the world sees and feels our brand.

You’ll work on a variety of projects, all aimed at making Inngest’s brand engaging for developers. You’ll join a small, passionate team of designers, engineers, and marketers who care deeply about building products with best-in-class developer experience (DX) that developers deserve and love.

This is a US-based remote role. We're remote first, with a few folks working together in-person in SF.

What You’ll Do

• Design Web Pages & Marketing Assets: Create pages for Inngest’s marketing website, docs, and design various marketing assets like blog graphics, technical illustrations, social media visuals, and emails. Your designs will help communicate how Inngest solves long-standing developer problems in a novel way, making complex ideas accessible and engaging
• Maintain & Evolve the Brand: Uphold Inngest’s brand guidelines and evolve them as needed. You’ll ensure every design (big or small) feels like Inngest, while keeping things fresh and modern.
• Collaborate with Marketing: Work hand-in-hand with our marketing team to design content that resonates. From landing pages to campaigns, you’ll ensure our brand voice is consistent and developer-friendly..
• Create Event Graphics & Decks: Design graphics for events, webinars, and internal presentations. You’ll craft visual stories that excite developers — from conference slides to community meetups.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with the founders, engineers, and our design lead. You’ll be at the intersection of marketing and product, ensuring our brand experience is seamless everywhere — on the website, in our docs, and even inside our app UI.

What You Need to Succeed

• Design Skills: Proficiency in Figma and Illustrator is a must. You know how to create clean, modern designs and can iterate quickly based on feedback.
• Developer Empathy: You don’t need to be a coder, but you should appreciate and understand our audience (developers). Maybe you’ve worked on dev tools before, or you’re just great at asking questions and a willingness to understand technical content.
• Communication: Strong written and verbal communication. You can explain design decisions and collaborate in a remote environment using Slack, Zoom, Notion, etc.
• Proactive Attitude: You’re a self-starter who loves to take ownership. Have an idea to improve the brand or try a new design trend? We want to hear it!
• Animation (Bonus): Experience with After Effects or web animations is a plus. Imagine adding subtle animations to a web page to make it more engaging for developers — that’s what we love.
