👉 Design Details Job Board

Notion — Imagine in the 1970s thinking through how computing should be like. That's what Notion is trying to build — beautiful software that fits everyone's needs. They have infinite challenges that can only be solved by someone with innate product sense, technical aptitude, great taste, and impeccable craft.

Materialize — Materialize is building a reactive database to disrupt batch data warehouses like Snowflake and BigQuery, and they’re looking for their first full-time, in-house designer to come in and own the product design for Materialize Web UI. Technical and developer tools experience is a huge plus!

Webflow — Webflow is hiring designers across their various product pillars focused on growth, collaboration, the designer, and site capabilities. This role is remote-first with the option to work in our SF office.

GitKraken — GitKraken is building tools to visualize complex systems and improve productivity for millions of developers. They’re looking for designers with Git experience who are excited by the challenge of designing delightful, efficient, and themeable interfaces that make Git easier and safer to use.

Cool Things:

  • Brian shared Eagle, a wonderful application for bookmarking and organizing visual inspiration. The app is fantastic, and its integration with their browser extensions is top-notch.
  • Marshall shared Bullsh*t The Gameshow, a new Netflix gameshow that feels like Who Wants to be a Millionaire, but with a twist.
