The Role
We’re looking for a versatile Brand & UI Designer based in Europe to join our senior design team. Kestra is a technical product, and we believe our brand should reflect that sophistication. This is a role for a designer who loves to jump between a Figma design system, a high-conversion landing page, and a brand identity project. You’ll work closely with the Founding Designer and the UX Designer. Your job is to ensure that everything Kestra ships — from a new feature in the dashboard to a blog post visual or a physical booth at a conference — is visually stunning and technically precise.
What You'll Do
- High-Conversion Web & Technical Storytelling: You are responsible for the design of our landing pages and marketing site. Your goal is twofold: maximize conversion while using design to simplify and visualize extremely technical concepts (pipelines as code, event-driven orchestration, AI agents). You know how to transform a complex architecture into a crystal-clear visual that makes an engineer say "Eureka" at a glance.
- Support Product UI & Design System: Work hand-in-hand with the UX Designer to polish the Kestra interface. You’ll design custom icons, refine UI components, and maintain our Figma Design System to ensure a seamless visual language between the marketing site and the product.
- Evolve the Brand Identity: Maintain and expand Kestra's visual language across all digital channels. You ensure consistency in our typography, color theory, and layout across social media, slide decks, and product release materials.
- Design Physical Touchpoints: As a "couteau suisse", you’ll occasionally handle our physical presence: designing premium merch and thinking through the spatial layout and signage of our event booths. You know how to make the brand live in a physical space.
What We're Looking For
- Must-have
- Dual Portfolio: Strong experience in UI Design (web/interfaces focus on conversion) AND Brand/Graphic design.
- Technical Storytelling: A rare ability to "translate" complex features into simple, high-impact diagrams or interfaces.
- Figma Mastery: Expert-level knowledge of components, variables, and auto-layout.
- Technical Literacy: You have a taste for clean, technical aesthetics. You understand the web's building blocks (HTML/CSS) to collaborate effectively with frontend engineers.
- Autonomy: You thrive in a remote-first, async environment. You take a brief and run with it, from first draft to final asset delivery.
- Strong plus
- Spatial Thinking: Ability to conceptualize a booth layout or physical branding for events.
- Iconography: A talent for creating custom, pixel-perfect icon sets.
- Open Source DNA: Experience working with developer-tooling brands or OSS communities.
Why Join Kestra?
- Remote-First: Work from anywhere with a flexible schedule.
- High Impact: You’ll be one of the first hires in this department, helping define the "Field Engineering" playbook.
- Open Source: We believe in the power of community. Your work will be visible and impactful to thousands of users globally.
- Modern Stack: Work with the latest in cloud-native technologies, AI agents, and high-performance orchestration.
