Overview

Great design is rare. Great design that ships is even rarer.

At Files.com, we hire designers who can also ship. Designers who don’t just sketch ideas — they bring them to life in React, JSX, and advanced CSS. This role sits at the intersection of creativity and code and is for someone who knows when a design feels elegant and when typography and layout breathe. Designers own the full journey: from concept to component, from prototype to production.

Our product is used by hundreds of thousands of users daily — from Fortune 500 brands to fast-growing startups. Your work will impact real workflows and be documented in Storybook for broad reuse.

If you’re equally at home in Figma and JSX, care about spacing systems and scalability, and believe design is real when it ships, this is your canvas.

Who We Are

We’re Files.com, a profitable, founder-led SaaS company powering secure file transfer and automation for 4,000+ brands. We’ve built a $35M+ business with 70 people and are backed by Riverwood Capital.

What Makes This Role Different

• Creative + Technical: design and code, seeing ideas through to production.
• System Builder: create design systems, UI libraries, and patterns for consistency and speed.
• Iterative, Real-World Design: collaborate with PMs and Engineers, test in production, gather feedback, refine quickly.
• High Bar for Taste: aesthetics matter — modern, cohesive, delightful products.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Interaction Design: craft elegant, intuitive flows for complex workflows.
• User Journey Mapping: translate personas into frictionless experiences.
• End-to-End Design: take concepts from Figma to production-ready React code.
• Prototyping & Testing: build wireframes, prototypes, and run usability tests.
• UI Components: create menus, tabs, tables, and widgets that are reusable and scalable.
• Frontend Implementation: write JSX and advanced CSS in our React codebase — not just hand off.
• Design Systems: document and maintain UI in Storybook.js for cross-team reuse.

What Success Looks Like

• New features feel intuitive on Day 1 with minimal user confusion.
• Designs are visually impactful — modern, polished, and easy to navigate.
• Components you create become part of the broader design system used across the app.
• Usability testing validates your design decisions and informs improvements.
• Engineers and PMs trust you to deliver practical, scalable, production-ready designs.

Who Thrives in This Role

Brings refined visual sensibility and strong attention to detail. Balances originality with structure, and is comfortable moving between design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe Suite) and production code (React, JSX, CSS). Passionate about building lasting systems — design systems, component libraries, reusable patterns. Energized by shipping work, gathering feedback, and iterating quickly.

Benefits

100% Paid Health, Dental & Vision (75% for family); 401(k) with 4% company match; Equity grants for every employee; Paid parental leave; 20 PTO days + 11 holidays + full company winter break; $1,000 signing bonus + modern Apple laptop + anniversary gifts; Team travel to NYC, Austin, Nashville, Miami, and more.

How to Apply

At Files.com, design is judged in the details. We want to see a portfolio that demonstrates visual polish, system-level design, and the ability to simplify complex workflows. A resume should reflect clarity, hierarchy, and elegance. We’re not looking for clutter or filler—just proof of strong design thinking and the ability to communicate ideas visually.

If your resume and portfolio make us stop, look twice, and think “this person has taste,” you’re already halfway there.

Application Information

We’ll ask for a resume, portfolio link (passwords if needed), and related details. Voluntary disclosures and EEO information are included as required by law.
