Visual Marketing Designer and Animator

ABOUT THE ROLE:



We're looking for a Visual Designer & Animator to join our Marketing team and
own the visual craft across everything we put into the world — from ad creative
and event materials to website pages and brand motion. You'll be the person who
makes Modular look as sharp as our technology is fast.
This is a hands-on, high-output role. You'll work directly with marketing
leadership, and 1 staff designer, moving quickly between campaigns, launches,
events, and brand projects. We have extremely high standards for design quality
and visual consistency. If your portfolio doesn't stop people in their tracks,
this isn't the right fit.
You should be equally comfortable designing a landing page in Figma and
animating a product demo in After Effects. You treat AI tools as creative
accelerators, not crutches — and you're already using them daily.
 
Location: Candidates based in the US or Canada are welcome to apply. This is a
hybrid role and requires you to work in our office in Los Altos, CA or San
Francisco, CA. Onboarding for new hires is conducted in-person in our Los Altos,
CA office and relocation is provided to US and Canada based candidates.




WHAT YOU WILL DO:

 
* Design and produce marketing ad creative across paid, social, and organic
channels — static and animated.
* Create visual assets for events, conferences (e.g., NVIDIA GTC,
Modular-hosted summits), and developer meetups — from booth graphics to
digital signage to swag.
* Own brand consistency across all touchpoints. You are the quality bar for how
Modular looks.
* Design website pages and microsites in Figma and/or webflow, working closely
with frontend engineers to ship pixel-perfect implementations on modular.com
[http://modular.com].
* Produce motion graphics and animations using After Effects, Lottie, Jitter,
and emerging tools like Descript for video content and social clips.
* Leverage AI-powered image creation and animation tools (e.g., generative
image tools, Claude for creative workflows) to accelerate production without
sacrificing quality.
* Respond quickly to ad-hoc marketing requests — product launches, blog
graphics, email headers, social templates. This is a fast-paced team and
you'll be on call for what marketing needs.
* Pass pixel perfect designs off to printer for physical events.





WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE:

 
*  A stunning portfolio that demonstrates exceptional visual taste, range, and
craft across brand, web, motion, and campaign work. This is the first thing
we evaluate — bring your best.
* 4+ years of professional experience in visual design, with demonstrated
strength in brand systems, digital advertising, and web design.
* Expert-level proficiency in Figma, Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and a
video editing tool of your choosing.
* Strong motion design and animation skills — you can take a concept from
storyboard to final render.
* Working experience with Lottie animations for web.
* Proven ability to ship high-quality work at high velocity. You thrive under
pressure and tight timelines.
* Solid, demonstrable use of AI tools in your design and production process. We
don't mean "I've tried it" — we mean it's part of how you execute.
* A sharp eye for typography, layout, color, and visual hierarchy. Good taste
is non-negotiable.
* Experience designing for developer or technical audiences is a strong plus.
* A positive team-first attitude. We are highly collaborative, passing designs
and work-in-progress back and forth constantly. We win as a team and take
credit together as a team.





HELPFUL BUT NOT REQUIRED:



* Familiarity with the AI infrastructure competitive landscape and developer
tooling market.
* Video filming and/or editing experience (not just animation)
* Experience building in Webflow is a huge plus.
* Familiarity with HTML/CSS for rapid prototyping or microsite builds.
* Experience working at a high-growth startup where you wore many hats.





WHAT MODULAR BRINGS TO THE TABLE:



* Amazing Team. We are a progressive and agile team with some of the industry’s
best engineering and product leaders.
* World-class Benefits. In order to attract the best, we need to offer the
best. Premier insurance plans, up to 5% 401k matching, flexible paid time
off, and more are available to you! Please note that specific benefit
packages may vary based on your location.
* Competitive Compensation. We offer very strong compensation packages,
including stock options. We want people to be focused on their best work and
believe in tailoring compensation plans to meet the needs of our workforce. 
* Team Building Events. We organize regular team onsites and local meetups in
Los Altos, CA as well as different cities. Traveling 2-4 times a year is
expected for all roles. 



Working at Modular will enable you to grow quickly as you work alongside
incredibly motivated and talented people who have high standards, possess a
growth mindset, and a purpose to truly change the world.
