Graphic Designer

Description:

Working at Ably means helping to build the infrastructure and technology that will power and shape the future of the internet. Chatting on WhatsApp, hailing an Uber, asking Alexa what the weather will be like tomorrow, working in the same Google Doc as your colleague: all of these things rely on complex, behind-the-scenes realtime infrastructure. That’s what Ably provides for companies like HubSpot, Toyota Racing Development, OfferUp, and Hopin.

We now live in a remote-first world where realtime digital interactions underpin our daily lives. In the near future, Autonomous Vehicles, IoT devices (e.g. connected fridges or environment sensors), and AI-powered experiences will be the norm. But new infrastructure is required to power it all.

The opportunity in front of us is immense. Our mission is to become the definitive realtime infrastructure of the internet while powering and accelerating adoption of realtime user experiences. We’re on track. Everyday we deliver billions of realtime messages to more than 200 million people in 80 different countries across web, mobile, and IoT platforms. But we can’t rest yet. In five years we want to reach one billion people everyday.

About this role

Working alongside our Marketing team you will be responsible for generating creative, considered, and on-brand design collateral for campaigns, technical guides, social media, online ad campaigns, outreach materials, email and blog to name just a few. You will be helping to shape our visual language as we grow, feeding from – and contributing to – a centralised Design System where appropriate.

Designers that consider themselves to be ‘midweight’ are invited to apply, and we would expect to see a strong portfolio of work that spans both digital and print, and would be keen to hear how you contributed to the projects presented. A command of typographic finesse and layout rhythm will be looked for, along with the ability to communicate complex themes through simple design. Illustration skills would also be advantageous.
