Job description

About this role

Quilt is looking for a junior to mid-level visual designer with a sharp eye and a penchant for wearing many hats (figuratively, but literally is fine too). This is a full-time role and an opportunity to help grow and shape our brand across platforms and audiences.

Quilt is turning heat pumps into a coveted category, and our visual identity is one of the defining aspects of our young brand (example & example). You’ll be contributing to content and experiences that align with our marketing and product strategies, and help us stand out in a category that’s overdue for a visual overhaul.

Who you’ll work with: a small and mighty design team that collaborates cross‑functionally with the entire Quilt org — from marketing and sales to hardware and everything in between — to drive customer and partner‑focused designs that cohesively communicate our brand message and values.

What you’ll do

• Support design projects from concept to completion across platforms and mediums, including social, paid media, digital, print, and video
• Collaborate with marketing, partner success, UX, and product to develop and design multi‑channel marketing campaigns, including some fun social content
• Review co‑branded marketing materials from partners nationwide and provide actionable feedback to align with Quilt’s brand guidelines and visual standards
• Help maintain and grow our brand guidelines, ensuring consistent implementation across channels
• Contribute to brand strategy as our visual identity continues to evolve across a budding product ecosystem

You qualify if you have

• 2 - 5 years of professional design experience
• A strong portfolio showcasing visual design skills across mediums — quality of work matters more than years of experience
• Exceptional attention to detail: pixel‑perfect execution, consistency, and craft are central to this role
• Strong core design skills — typography, layout, color, and composition
• Familiarity with brand guidelines and design systems
• Experience designing across marketing channels such as web, email, and social
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively with a cross‑disciplinary team
• Experience working in print — you know the difference between bleed and crop marks, rich black and true black
• Experience with video and photo editing is a plus

You’ll thrive in this role if you

• Sweat the small stuff — you notice when something is 2px off and it bothers you
• Are scrappy, thrive in a fast‑paced startup environment, and adapt quickly to changing priorities
• Delight in being fast and flexible in early design stages, and precise and polished at the finish line
• Are radically learning‑focused, with a growth mindset and eagerness to improve your craft
• Love to experiment with new techniques, tools, and technologies
• Would like to fight climate change AND make beautiful things

Compensation & Benefits

This is a full‑time, hybrid position, with three (3) days per week in our Redwood City office. The annual anticipated base salary range for U.S. candidates for this role is $95,000 - 115,000, depending on experience.

Employees hired into this role on a full‑time basis are eligible to participate in Quilt’s standard benefit programs, which currently include medical, dental, and vision benefits, a 401(k) plan, paid time off, and certain leaves of absence.

To apply

• Your resume
• We don’t require a cover letter, but — to help us filter out bots and the unserious — we do require including a squid somewhere in your application
