The Role

The Founding Designer will own and define the visual identity of the brand and marketing surfaces end-to-end. As the company scales, the complexity of its brand presence has expanded, requiring a coherent, high-quality, and memorable aesthetic that reflects both technical depth and ambitious vision. This individual will translate abstract security concepts into narrative-rich visuals, proposing creative directions and ensuring a high level of craft across all public-facing touchpoints.

• Physical & Event Design: Create compelling visuals for conference booths, presentations, and high-quality company merchandise.
• End-to-End Execution: Take abstract ideas from concept to final delivery, maintaining high standards of detail and consistency.

Requirements

• Aesthetic Judgment: Ability to produce sophisticated, original designs that communicate technical depth with clarity and impact.
• Autonomy: High comfort level operating in ambiguity; the ability to generate creative directions with limited input and minimal hand-holding.
• Execution Velocity: A strong bias toward action with the ability to iterate quickly and make informed decisions in a fast-paced environment.
• Location: Based in the Americas or willing to work primarily within North American time zones.
