Digital Illustrator
Job Description
About the Role:
We’re seeking a Digital Illustrator who understands how visual tone influences user engagement. You’ll be part of a product design team creating original illustrations that appear across onboarding flows, feature explainers, blog content, and app UI. We’re not looking for someone who just “makes things look good”—we want a sharp visual storyteller who can translate abstract concepts into clear, intentional illustrations that support product thinking and brand narrative.
What You’ll Do:
- Create illustrations that guide, inform, and delight users—everything from in-app spot illustrations to full-page editorial-style work
- Collaborate directly with product designers, content strategists, and marketing teams to ensure consistency of visual language across user touchpoints
- Translate wireframes, motion concepts, or vague metaphors into visual assets with a clear purpose
- Own an evolving illustration system that balances expressive creativity with scalable components
- Use storytelling techniques to visually simplify complex ideas, especially in SaaS and fintech contexts
- Provide visual support for occasional animated sequences or Lottie files (working alongside motion designers)
- Maintain tight version control and naming conventions within Figma, Illustrator, and shared asset libraries
What We’re Looking For:
- A portfolio that shows strong character design, composition, and systems thinking—especially in digital contexts
- Demonstrated ability to adjust illustration style to match brand tone, whether it’s quirky, minimalist, or editorial
- Experience working within a design system while knowing when to challenge it
- Comfort with vector tools (Illustrator, Figma), and willingness to adapt sketches based on live product constraints
- Clear rationale behind stylistic decisions—your work has logic, not just style
- (Nice to have) Familiarity with After Effects, Lottie, or CSS animations for illustrative motion
- (Nice to have) Experience illustrating for localization or accessibility use cases (e.g. culture-agnostic visuals, alt text considerations)
This Role Is Not For You If:
- You prefer working solo or only on final assets without upstream collaboration
- You’re looking for a highly stylized, freeform art direction role
- You’re uninterested in how illustration contributes to usability, conversion, or retention metrics
