Job Description

📍 Location: Remote (USA or Canada-based)

💼 Type: Full-time

💰 Compensation: Competitive salary + equity + premium benefits

Great design is rare. Great design that ships is even rarer.

Most designers stop at the mockup. They work in Figma, hand it off, and cross their fingers that Engineering executes their vision. Not here. At Files.com, we hire designers who can also ship. Designers who don’t just sketch ideas — they bring them to life in React, JSX, and advanced CSS.

This role sits at the intersection of creativity and code. It’s for someone with genuine taste — someone who knows when a design feels elegant, when typography sings, when a layout breathes. But it’s also for someone who refuses to leave great ideas stranded in a design file. At Files.com, designers own the full journey: from concept to component, from prototype to production.

Our product is used by hundreds of thousands of users every day — from Fortune 500 brands to the fastest-growing startups. That means your work won’t just sit on a Dribbble portfolio; it will shape the daily workflows of some of the most recognizable companies in the world. Every interaction you refine, every system you build, every component you document in Storybook will ripple across a massive audience.

If you’re equally at home in Figma and JSX, if you care as much about spacing systems as you do about scalability, and if you believe design is only real when it ships, then this is your canvas.

Who We Are

We’re Files.com, a profitable, founder-led SaaS company powering secure file transfer and automation for 4,000+ brands you know: Marc Jacobs, GrubHub, Michelin, Hot Topic, Stamps.com, Planet Fitness, KFC, and more.

We’ve built a $35M+ business with just 70 people by hiring smart, disciplined, high-output teammates who act fast and own outcomes. Backed by $46.5M from Riverwood Capital, we’re scaling intentionally — and this role is a critical part of that growth.

What Makes This Role Different

🎨 Creative + Technical: This isn’t “make a slide deck and hope Engineering builds it.” You’ll design and code, seeing your ideas through to production.

🚀 System Builder: You’ll create design systems, UI libraries, and patterns that last — helping everyone move faster with consistency and taste.

🔄 Iterative, Real-World Design: You’ll collaborate tightly with PMs and Engineers, test in production, gather feedback, and refine quickly. No ivory tower design work.

✨ High Bar for Taste: We care deeply about aesthetics. This isn’t just about usability — it’s about building a product that feels modern, cohesive, and delightful to use.

What You’ll Actually Do

Interaction Design: Craft elegant, intuitive flows that make complex workflows feel simple.
User Journey Mapping: Translate personas and use cases into frictionless product experiences.
End-to-End Design: Take concepts from Figma to production-ready React code.
Prototyping & Testing: Build wireframes, prototypes, and run usability tests to validate and refine ideas.
UI Components: Create menus, tabs, tables, and widgets that are reusable, consistent, and scalable.
Frontend Implementation: Write JSX and advanced CSS in our React codebase — not just hand off.
Design Systems: Document and maintain UI in Storybook.js so that our components scale across teams and features.

What Success Looks Like

New features feel intuitive on Day 1, with minimal user confusion.
Designs are not only usable but visually impactful — customers describe the UI as modern, polished, and easy to navigate.
Components you create become part of the broader design system, used across multiple parts of the app.
Usability testing consistently validates your design choices and surfaces clear improvements.
Engineers and PMs trust you to deliver designs that are practical, scalable, and production-ready.

Who Thrives in This Role

✅ Brings a refined visual sensibility and a strong eye for detail — knows the difference between “good enough” and “exceptional.”

✅ Balances originality with structure, creating designs that are both imaginative and scalable.

✅ Comfortable moving between design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe Suite) and production code (React, JSX, CSS).

✅ Obsessed with creating systems that last: design systems, component libraries, repeatable patterns.

✅ Energized by shipping work, gathering feedback, and iterating fast.

Show, Don’t Tell

At Files.com, design is judged in the details — and that starts with your application. We don’t just want to hear that you have great taste, we want to see it.

That means a portfolio that shows your eye for visual polish, your ability to design at system-level scale, and your capacity to make complex workflows feel simple. It also means a resume that reflects the same principles you’d bring to our product: clarity, hierarchy, and elegance.

We’re not looking for clutter, gimmicks, or filler. We’re looking for proof — that you know how to communicate ideas visually, that you can demonstrate the thinking behind your choices, and that you can make even a resume feel like great design.

If your resume and portfolio make us stop, look twice, and think “this person has taste,” then you’re already halfway there.

Safe Remote Job Search Tips

Verify Employer Thoroughly

Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.

Never Pay to Get a Job

Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.

Safeguard Your Personal Information

Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.

Scrutinize Communication & Interviews

Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.

Beware of Unrealistic Offers

If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.

Insist on a Formal Contract

Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
