Front-End Designer

Float, the world’s leading resource planner, is looking for a Front End Designer to manage the development of our marketing design initiatives. We’re a team of people living our best remote work lives. From New York to Melbourne, Canada to South Africa - our team of Engineers, Product Managers, Marketing and Customer Success folks work asynchronously to help teams plan and manage their time better. Float is self-funded, profitable, and growing. If you’re a self-starter, aligned with our values, and are looking to join a team that’s passionate about helping others work and live more productively, we want to hear from you. Here are a few tips from our CEO to make sure your resume stands out from the crowd.

We’re looking for a Front End Engineer with proven production experience in developing marketing campaigns at scale. Ideally, you’ll have experience with B2B or SaaS services. Perhaps you’ve cut your teeth in the agency world, and are looking for an opportunity to carve your own path and have a greater impact on a growing team and an industry-leading product.

You live in the details, where every millisecond and pixel matters. You’re an Engineer at heart, but have a strong design sense and feel comfortable working with an established Brand Guide to develop assets when required. You’re capable of developing short SVG animations, GIFs and video content, where the context makes sense.

You know your way around Sketch, and are comfortable working with headless CMSs (We use both Ghost and Prismic + Gatsby). You also have advanced level HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React skills.

As a fully remote team, we're looking for hands-on, experienced candidates who are able to focus on the work and projects without direct oversight. Asynchronous is the default form of communication at Float, and we have very few meetings, so you’ll have long stretches of time to focus on deep work. Everyone at Float leads by example and sets the bar for quality.

This role is responsible for delivering the type of detailed and deliberate interaction design that others reference for inspiration, matching our industry-leading app credentials and elevating our overall brand. You’ll be working with our Marketing Director and Designers to deliver this work. You’ll be starting with a solid foundation including an established Brand Guide, colors, fonts and styles.

Here’s an example of the type of projects you’ll be working on:

Performance and SEO are top of mind in your decision-making process. You’ll weigh up the tradeoffs in design vs performance, and have an eye on PageSpeed Insights when developing solutions. Throughout you’ll be developing interaction systems and processes that help us scale, and increase consistency and continuity across our brand.

The salary for this role is US $140,505 (Level 3).

Level 3 is considered Senior Level at Float but we may also make an offer at Level 2.5 ($131,746) if we feel experience and skill set are close in a candidate we're excited about but may not yet be at a Senior level. Read more about what data we use for compensation here.

We have a range of expanding and improving benefits and perks including:

For those in the US, we’ll pay 50% of your medical, dental & vision coverage, including partners and children. Since our HQ is in New York, those outside of the US will be hired as contractors—but don’t worry—you’ll have access to the same great benefits. We’re a global company and we encourage people of all different locations, nationalities, backgrounds, and perspectives to apply.

You can find a lot of useful information about our interview process and what it’s like to join our global team on the Float careers page. We appreciate and understand the time and energy that goes into crafting a solid job application, so we thank you in advance for your interest in joining our team. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide individual feedback during the application stage due to the volume of applications that we receive. Only those shortlisted will be contacted.
