Designer

The Role We are hiring a Designer to own how Menlo looks and feels across our website, our communications, and everything in between. Menlo builds in public, and the brand is a big part of why people love Asimov. Every launch, research post, careers page, and community moment is a chance to show the world what we are building. We want one designer who can own that whole surface, from the marketing site to the social asset that goes out an hour before a demo. This is a broad, hands-on design role for someone who moves fast and has real range. You will shape the brand system, design the pages, and turn around the comms assets, all while keeping Menlo and Asimov looking sharp and consistent. If you want to own the look of a company people are already watching, this is it.

• Own the visual design of menlo.ai http://menlo.ai and its surfaces, from marketing and launch pages to the careers page and shop touchpoints, working with engineering to ship them to production
• Design communications assets across every launch, including social posts, announcement art, research post graphics, video thumbnails, and event and IRL collateral
• Build and maintain the Menlo brand system, including typography, color, and reusable components and templates, so the whole team can move fast and stay on brand
• Keep Menlo and Asimov visually consistent across the website, docs, community channels, and partner materials
• Design decks, one-pagers, and collateral for sales, partnerships, and hiring
• Design for the build in public motion across Discord, the forum, streams, and community moments
• Turn rough ideas into finished work quickly, often on launch-day timelines
• A strong portfolio that spans brand, web, and communications design, not just one of the three
• Real range, from setting up a brand system to designing a marketing site to shipping fast-turn social assets
• Comfort owning brand at an early company, where you set the bar rather than inherit it
• Fluency in Figma and a sharp eye for layout, type, and detail
• Web design sensibility, including responsive thinking and a smooth handoff or collaboration with engineers
• Taste for a technical, developer-facing aesthetic that feels clean and confident, never corporate
• Self-direction and speed, with a bias for shipping
• Front-end skills such as HTML, CSS, Tailwind, or React and Next.js, enough to ship your own designs to production
• Motion design or video editing for launches and social
• Illustration or 3D skills, such as Blender, for robots and hardware
• Photography or art direction for product and team shoots
• Experience at a hardware, robotics, developer tools, or open source brand
