Brand & UI Designer
About Kestra
Kestra is the open‑source declarative orchestration platform that simplifies complex data workflows and business processes. We bridge the gap between engineering and business logic, allowing teams to build, scale, and monitor their pipelines with ease. As we scale our Enterprise offering, we are looking for a technical powerhouse who can guide our customers from their first POC to long‑term architectural success.
The Role
We’re looking for a versatile Brand & UI Designer based in Europe to join our senior design team. Kestra is a technical product, and we believe our brand should reflect that sophistication. This is a role for a designer who loves to jump between a Figma design system, a high‑conversion landing page, and a brand identity project. You’ll work closely with the Founding Designer and the UX Designer. Your job is to ensure that everything Kestra ships — from a new feature in the dashboard to a blog post visual or a physical booth at a conference — is visually stunning and technically precise.
What You’ll Do
1 — High‑Conversion Web & Technical Storytelling – You are responsible for the design of our landing pages and marketing site. Your goal is twofold: maximise conversion while using design to simplify and visualise extremely technical concepts (pipelines as code, event‑driven orchestration, AI agents). You transform a complex architecture into a crystal‑clear visual that makes an engineer say “Eureka” at a glance.
2 — Support Product UI & Design System – Work hand‑in‑hand with the UX Designer to polish the Kestra interface. You’ll design custom icons, refine UI components, and maintain our Figma Design System to ensure a seamless visual language between the marketing site and the product.
3 — Evolve the Brand Identity – Maintain and expand Kestra’s visual language across all digital channels. You ensure consistency in our typography, colour theory, and layout across social media, slide decks, and product release materials.
4 — Design Physical Touchpoints – Occasionally handle our physical presence: design premium merch and think through the spatial layout and signage of our event booths. You make the brand live in a physical space.
What We’re Looking For
Must‑have
- Dual portfolio: strong experience in UI Design (web/interfaces focused on conversion) and Brand/Graphic design.
- Technical storytelling: ability to translate complex features into simple, high‑impact diagrams or interfaces.
- Figma mastery: expert‑level knowledge of components, variables, and auto‑layout.
- Technical literacy: you understand web building blocks (HTML/CSS) to collaborate with frontend engineers.
- Autonomy: you thrive in a remote‑first, async environment. You take a brief and run with it, from first draft to final asset delivery.
Strong plus
- Spatial thinking: conceptualise booth layouts or physical branding for events.
- Iconography: create custom, pixel‑perfect icon sets.
- Open source DNA: experience working with developer‑tooling brands or OSS communities.
Why Join Kestra
- Remote‑first: work from anywhere with a flexible schedule.
- High impact: you’ll be one of the first hires in this department, helping define the “Field Engineering” playbook.
- Open source: your work will be visible and impactful to thousands of users globally.
- Modern stack: work with the latest in cloud‑native technologies, AI agents, and high‑performance orchestration.
