Product Designer - Clerk

About Clerk

Clerk is on a mission to solve user management once and for all. We are a globally distributed team dedicated to providing best-in-class developer experience, with obsessive attention to every detail. Today, we provide developers with full-stack React components and hooks like Sign Up, Sign In, User Profile, useUser, and useOrganization. These APIs allow developers to build hard-to-get-right user and organization management flows. We believe that a component is worth a thousand APIs.

Our Dashboard is a primary tool for configuring our components, as well as a centralized place for managing your app’s users.

What You Will Do

You’ll join Visual Designers, UI Engineers, and fellow Product Designers on the Clerk Design team to own and uplevel the Clerk brand. You’ll optimize for customer delight, flexibility, and ease-of-use within a complicated, technical domain.

We will expect you to:

• Uplevel the Clerk brand: Lead creative direction and design to personally ship brand assets including brand identity, .com, product launches, and more.
• Collaborate with a cross-disciplinary team: Work with UI engineers, animators, product designers, and more to create an elevated brand identity.
• Bring innovative approaches to brand design: Use new approaches to bring digital experiences to life and create scalable tools that increase high-quality brand output.
• Not settle for less than pixel-perfection: Work with a world-class UI Engineering team to bring your Figma frames to life. You set the bar for quality.
• Elevate our design culture: Support and expand the Clerk Design visual language, asset library, brand design system, and design processes.

Who You Are

You’re a Senior(+) level Brand Designer or Visual Designer with experience working in developer tools, AI, or infrastructure-related brands. You love your craft. You push UI Engineers to build experiences they’re unsure if they’re capable of (and you expect them to do the same for you).

• You’re in the Americas: You live in a location that is ±3 hours within U.S. Mountain Time (MDT, UTC−06:00).
• Technical fluency: You have a deep understanding of designing interactive software on the web. You don’t need to author production-ready front-end code, but it’s a big plus if you can.
• Iterative workflow: Your process embodies a “ship and iterate” mentality. You value the quick pace of a growing startup like Clerk.
• Self-directed: You’re a self-starter who would rather find a tough problem to solve instead of waiting for a new task. To be successful at Clerk, you need to make the most of the autonomy you’re given.
