The brand story at Fireworks is still being written, and this is the role that owns it. You’ll report to the Head of Brand and Web, taking end-to-end responsibility for how Fireworks shows up visually: from collaborating on a full brand refresh with an external agency, to defining the system that carries it forward, to building the team that scales it.
What you'll do- Work directly with the Head of Brand and our agency partner on the brand refresh, representing the internal creative voice, pressure-testing decisions, and ensuring the work translates into something we can actually build on
- Help define and codify the brand as it takes shape: visual identity, tone, design language, and the rules that hold it together
- Build and maintain a design system that is well documented, practical, and actually used across the company
- Build self-serve design resources and workflows that enable the wider team to move independently on day-to-day needs, including templates, brand-compliant tooling in Canva, and AI-powered design tools, so senior design time is spent where it matters most
- Own the visual execution across brand surfaces: web, social, events, sales collateral, and whatever else the company needs
- Concept and execute brand campaigns across digital and out-of-home, from paid social and display to large-format outdoor, ensuring the work is consistent, distinctive, and built to perform in market
- Able to move quickly without sacrificing quality
- 6+ years of brand design experience building brands for technically complex products. AI, developer tools, or enterprise infrastructure. You know what it takes to make something deeply technical feel compelling and clear
- Strong portfolio spanning brand identity, design systems, and web design, ideally in B2B or developer-facing products
- Experience working with or alongside external agency partners, with a track record of getting the most out of that relationship
- Someone who takes ownership seriously: you drive things to completion, raise the quality bar, and build the structures that let others do the same
- Figma as second nature. Bonus if you have enough web sensibility to work closely with engineers (light HTML/CSS, Webflow, or similar)
- Proven ability to operate in ambiguity. You don’t need a finished brief to start making good decisions
- Has opinions. Backs them up. Takes feedback well.
We’re working with an external agency on a full brand overhaul. This role isn’t responsible for owning or directing that engagement, but you’ll be a key collaborator inside it, with high exposure, real creative input, and the opportunity to shape what we take forward. You need to be comfortable with ambiguity and good at making progress while things are still being figured out.
Total compensation for this role also includes meaningful equity in a fast-growing startup, along with a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package. Base salary is determined by a range of factors including individual qualifications, experience, skills, interview performance, market data, and work location. The listed salary range is intended as a guideline and may be adjusted.
- Solve Hard Problems: Tackle challenges at the forefront of AI infrastructure, from low-latency inference to scalable model serving.
