About The Position

We're looking for a Brand Designer to join Merge and help shape a brand that breaks the mold of typical B2B tech. This is your chance to define how our company shows up across every surface: web, events, social, product, and beyond. At Merge, we're building a brand identity rooted in precision, craft, and technical sophistication. We need a designer who gets excited about translating complex API and AI infra concepts into striking, accessible visual stories; someone who can make infrastructure feel inspiring. You'll be designing for an audience of builders: developers, product managers, and technical professionals who value clarity, intelligence, and authenticity over generic aesthetics. If you're drawn to brands that respect their audience's intelligence and push creative boundaries in technical spaces, this role is for you.
