👋 Reporting to Alex Stoian, Design Lead
👯 Working in the Marketing Design team (team of three)
Are you a talented, versatile designer who wants to work for a company that truly values great design? Do you do your best work when you are free from rigid processes and have the freedom to plan and run your own projects? If you are at your happiest working in small teams where you have a big impact, we think you’ll be right at home here.
We need a skilled web designer to lead projects that bring our products to life through interactive and engaging digital experiences. Because we are light on process here at Circuit, you’ll need to be able to work independently, interpret briefs with little context, and be happy to ask for and give great feedback.
There's plenty of exciting new design work to tackle! Our brand is constantly evolving and has no strict guidelines, so you'll work intuitively with the current brand and help it grow.

Who we are, what we do, and how it’s going
We are a fully remote, independent, and profitable company made up of experienced, talented people. We hire globally across time zones from UTC -5 to UTC +2 and currently have people based in Europe, South America, and Canada.
Back in 2017, we saw an issue with last-mile delivery — it was too complicated and stressful for drivers. Circuit started a mission to change that by choosing to develop an app that put the driver, and their customers, first.
We were astounded by the response we received. Within our first year, we had almost 1,000 customers, $100k in ARR, and a team consisting of our two co-founders, Jack and Pol. Today, we now help more than 100,000 drivers deliver over 1bn packages worldwide (about 20 a second!), $20m ARR, and a lean team of ~40.
What you will be doing day to day
Joining our Marketing Design team, you'll lead the design and production of new website pages to communicate our products effectively to our B2B and B2C customers. You’ll collaborate with our developers to bring your designs to life, and our Marketing team to deliver visual materials like emails, screenshots, and other user-facing communication.
You'll also play a key role in localizing assets, ensuring our brand resonates across different markets worldwide. Working closely with the Marketing Design team, you'll help create and maintain our brand guidelines, keeping our visual identity consistent and compelling.
Partnering with the wider Circuit team, you’ll design assets supporting various projects and initiatives. By communicating design decisions clearly and iterating based on feedback and data, you'll deliver beautiful, high-quality designs.
