Hiring a Founding Designer at Dub → d.to/designer
About
Founder & CEO at Dub – building the open-source link management platform.
Interested in building the future of link management software? We're hiring!
Awards
On March 21, 2024, we launched Dub on Product Hunt and won #1 Product of the Month.
Work Experience
Dub is the open-source link management platform for marketing teams to create marketing campaigns, link sharing features, and referral programs.
I was a Senior Developer Advocate at Vercel, where I built open-source projects like the Platforms Starter Kit to educate folks on Vercel's technologies (Next.js, Turborepo, AI SDK).
Side Projects
Introducing fig.page – a free Figma link shortener.
Create beautiful fig.page short links for your Figma portfolios, prototypes, plugins, etc. – and get world-class analytics, powered by Dub 📈
So, why launch fig.page?
I recently had to review 100s of applications for our Founding Designer position.
A lot of applications used generic bitly/tinyurl links, which is not ideal for several reasons: spam risk, no analytics, etc.
There was a need for a dedicated URL shortener for Figma.
Since we've already built a robust and battle-tested link infrastructure at Dub, extending this to support fig.page was a no-brainer.
We launched git.new for GitHub in March – it's time we had one for Figma as well.
This one goes out to all the designers – I hope you guys like this one!
