What’s Shade?

We’re an intelligent file system for video and media teams. We power search, access, and review for file-heavy workflows (editing 8K R3D, sharing multi-TB projects) at companies like Webflow, Clay, HelloFresh, and Depop. We also help teams offload the creative busywork that eats into their time to actually be creative, like file transfers, manual organization, license verification, and version management.

Cashed up and backed by Khosla, General Catalyst, SignalFire, and Bling.

What we’re looking for

An experienced and agile generalist to join full-time as our 3rd design hire.

We’re cementing our brand and need someone to build and own our visual identity across web, video, graphics, and more.

  • A true generalist. Website, marketing graphics, product graphics, print materials, one-pagers, decks, booth designs, bonus points for animation

  • Ruthless tastemaker, tech curious. You can distinguish Geist from Inter by eye but will trade perfection for speed when the product calls for it. You want to understand our stack, every feature launch, and you’ll keep asking questions until you do.

  • Tool fluent. Figma, Photoshop, and comfortability with Claude / LLMs is a must. Bonus points for motion (Jitter, After Effects), Illustrator, and Framer

  • Scaled design before. Ideally at a growth-stage startup. You’ve built and maintained visual systems and are happy being the first and last set of eyes on something that will reach millions

  • Live body of work. You’ve shipped real projects, ideally across web, mobile, and print. Concept work is great for demonstrating style, but we want to see what actually made it into production.

    • → Don’t let an imperfect portfolio keep you from applying. Feel free to supplement with WIPs, screenshots, Figma boards, or whatever best shows your approach to design.

Perks!

You are more than “shareholder value.” We build our team around personal investment and ambition, so we offer benefits like:

  • Office snacks, comp-ed meals

  • Full health insurance (w. dental & vision), 401k with % match

  • Unlimited PTO

  • Gym membership @ Lifetime

  • Commuter cards for subway/bus —> we work in-person —> You’ll want to work in-person! We are fun! Our office is cool!

Culture fit

We view team growth as an opportunity for skills capture. We also view it as an opportunity to learn from other highly motivated, curious individuals.

If you’re tired of the corporate rat race and want to build something with meaning, this is for you.
