Hello Designer,

Vaadin’s Design Team is looking for a new senior-level (3–5 years of exp.) team member. Our team has a holistic responsibility to ensure the quality and consistency of the Vaadin experience – including our brand, communication, product and customer journeys.

We operate with a centralized partnership model: Designers are dedicated to specific teams across the organization but report directly to the Head of Design. This greatly improves clarity and collaboration between Designers, and increases our team's awareness and flexibility.

As a Marketing Designer, you will be dedicating most of your time to work with Vaadin’s Marketing teams. Marketing’s mission is to win over the minds and souls of software developers, teach and inspire our users and customers about the value we provide, and drive the expansion of our community.
