You can join us at our Toronto HQ or remotely from anywhere worldwide (some overlap with ET hours are required).

What you’ll do:

• Design compelling and ambitious web experiences alongside motion designers, brand designers, and design engineers.

• Take ideas from the initial sketch to a shipped site with various stakeholders.

• Design for the web with responsiveness, performance, and accessibility in mind.

• Prototype unique interaction paradigms and coordinate with the motion team or design engineers to bring them to life.

• Collaborate closely with clients through design reviews, async updates, and jam sessions.

• Coordinate with clients in a self-directed way and pull relevant information, such as pending feedback, brand resources, and content strategy.

• Experiment with new tools, techniques, and mediums to push the boundaries of interaction design and visual media

• Coordinate comprehensive QA ticketing with client-side stakeholders, ensuring seamless application of feedback between clients, designers, and developers.

Who you are:

• You are intentional about your work and deeply care about the quality of the experiences you ship.

• Have a track record of shipping web experiences that are visible in your portfolio.

• Strong awareness of the tech ecosystem and the latest visual trends within the community.

• Experimental in your practice and love to explore new tools and unconventional mediums to communicate their ideas.

• Strong interpersonal, whether interacting with your team members or a client.

• Organized in your process and have experience overseeing projects with stakeholders like motion designers and engineers.

• Strong communication skills: you know how to explain your design decisions and provide feedback to others.

Bonuses:

• Experience with Webflow and Framer.

• You know how to code and are familiar with React / Next.js / Tailwind CSS / Framer Motion / GSAP.

• Understanding of 3D tools and shipping web-native experiences.

You’ll be joining a growth-minded team excited by the possibility of the open web. We care about shipping high-quality work and pushing each other to take ideas further.

This is a place for you to belong, have fun, and create work you’re proud of with people you enjoy being with.

We hope you’ll join us.
