Senior Visual Designer (Remote)

Xata is the moderngres platform that helps engineering teams ship faster with instant database branches, anonymized production-like data, and zero-downtime schema changes. We connect directly to your existing Postgres, whether it’s RDS, Aurora, CloudSQL, Azure Database, or self-hosted and bring a realistic, production-like development workflow to every pull request. We’re a Series A, fully remote team across Europe and the US (around 25 people). Our customers use Xata to eliminate staging pain, speed up development, and make Postgres scalable for AI‑era applications.

In this role, you will:

• Lead the evolution of Xata's visual brand system, including guidelines for illustrations, iconography, typography, and colour usage.
• Design marketing assets across channels: website visuals, landing pages, blog illustrations, launch graphics, social media assets, and presentations.
• Create swag and physical assets (t-shirts, stickers, conference materials) that developers actually want to wear.
• Work closely with marketing and product to support product launches, announcements, and campaigns.
• Contribute to the public website, collaborating with frontend engineers and our design engineer to ensure designs translate well into production.
• Help communicate complex technical concepts visually, especially for developer‑focused audiences.

We work with:

• Figma (primary design tool)
• Whimsical
• Notion
• GitHub
• Modern web stacks (Next.js, Tailwind), familiarity is a plus, not a requirement
• AI‑assisted design tools (we’re open to experimentation)

Working at Xata:

• We’re stable. We raised $35M and have years of runway.
• We’re remote first and have more than 10 years of experience leading distributed teams at Elastic.
• Our team is distributed around the world, mainly in Europe and the east coast of the USA.
• Be part of a healthy culture, a culture that truly thrives on innovation, a culture that empowers people and cares about the team members.
• We work asynchronously. We don’t do agile; the team meets weekly to check-in and then we use GitHub, Notion, and Slack.
• You’ll have autonomy, lead features or projects, and bring ideas to the table.
• We are community‑driven and deeply care about the success of our users and customers.
• Our team is diverse with over 40% women.
• Xata is female‑founded and the first developer platform to have an all‑female board of directors.
• We incentivise conference meet‑ups.

What we offer all of our employees:

• Competitive salary and stock options.
• Friendly, diverse and inclusive work environment.
• 30 vacation days (not including local public holidays).
• 2 months full paid parental leave.
• Flexibility, autonomy and impact.
• Home office set‑up budget + co‑working space stipend.
• We support continuous learning with budgets for conferences, courses and books.
• 2 company offsites per year, with partners and kids welcome as well. So far we’ve been to Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal and Iceland!
• Ample opportunity and support for career development and impact; there are no boundaries to your growth here at Xata.

Our investors:

Xata is well‑financed by amazing investors, including Guillermo Rauch (founder of Vercel), Shay Banon (co‑founder and CEO of Elastic), Neha Narkhede (founder of Confluent), Elad Gil, Christian Bach, and Mathias Biilmann (founders of Netlify), and many others.
