Senior Brand Designer

Sommet Labs is a research and engineering firm building at the foundations of the financial internet. We are core contributors across multiple chains, working on the most consequential infrastructure in crypto.

Sommet Labs is built by engineers and principals with deep pedigree across the most consequential teams in crypto. Between us we have shipped core protocol infrastructure at leading lending markets and cross-chain bridges, led token launches and DeFi integrations at the two largest exchanges in the world, and have kept building through every regime crypto has lived through.

What carries through is taste, ownership, and a high tolerance for complex problems.

Sommet Labs is hiring a senior brand designer to own our visual identity across the parent brand and our portfolio of products. You will lead brand design end-to-end: typography, illustration, motion, marketing surfaces, and the systems that hold them together. You will work directly with engineering, product, and leadership.

• Define and evolve Sommet Labs' visual identity across web, marketing, and product surfaces.
• Build and maintain the brand system: typography, color, motion, and asset libraries that scale across our portfolio.
• Design marketing pages, decks, social, and brand activations end-to-end.
• Partner with engineering on production design, animation, and front-end fidelity.
• Set the visual register for product surfaces in collaboration with product and engineering.

• 6+ years of brand design experience, with at least one role at a high-bar consumer, fintech, or crypto brand.
• Strong portfolio across web, identity systems, motion, and editorial-grade marketing.
• Fluency in modern type and color systems; comfort designing for both light and dark.
• Working knowledge of front-end constraints and the ability to ship designs that translate cleanly to production.
• Experience with motion design (After Effects, Lottie, Rive, or similar).

• High taste; strong opinions, loosely held.
• Senior IC mindset: ships at high quality without art-direction overhead.
• Sees design as a system, not a sequence of one-offs.
• Comfortable in a visually ambitious, restrained register; understands the difference between bold and noisy.
• Can write; knows that design and copy are inseparable in brand work.
