multiple channels from our websites, social media, events, swag, tutorials,
diagrams, and more. Tailscale is a technical product, but ease of use,
zero-configuration, and great user experience are our strongest

help us tell a coherent, compelling visual story through vibrant,
impactful design.
- Translate complex
technological concepts into intuitive visualizations and diagrams.
- Define and maintain brand
guidelines and standardize their use across Tailscale marketing, company
materials, and products.
- Build upon our visual
identity and help shape our design system through contributions to our
typography, color palette, illustration, and iconography.
- Collaborate with relevant
stakeholders to own the process from ideation to delivery of the final
product.
- Communicate openly,
supporting and championing innovation and inclusivity.
- Meet and learn from our
users and come up with ways to make their interactions with Tailscale even
more delightful.
- Help define and analyze the
effectiveness of brand strategy to identify areas for improvement.
Qualifications
and Skills:
- Experience leading brand
design projects from ideation to production and driving consensus among
stakeholders of different backgrounds.
- Desire and ability to learn
complex technical subjects and translate them to easy-to-understand
visuals for a wide audience.
- Excellent time management,
interpersonal, communication, and collaboration skills.
- Excellent visual and
typographic skills.
- Ability to give and receive
constructive design feedback and work independently.
- Flexibility to adjust to the
dynamic nature of a startup.
It’s nice
if you have:
- Experience with technical
subjects and information architecture.
- Experience creating visual
material for complex SaaS technology solutions at a B2B or enterprise
technology company.
- Experience crafting,
maintaining, and standardizing the use of brand guidelines.
- Front-end development
skills.
