We're creating delightful devices and services that let families call the people who matter most, free from the noise of today's digital world. It’s about unblocking connection and building confidence and independence.\nWe're building a bold, authentic, and kinda quirky brand that resonates with folks who want something simpler + better for their kids than the tech-infused lives we're currently living (and who have a sense of humor about it).\nThe Role\nWe’re looking for a Brand Designer who loves making things.\nYou’ll be a key creative partner cross-departmentally, helping bring Tin Can’s ideas to life across every place our brand shows up. From social posts and email to community resources, external presentations, referral program content, app and everything in between, you’ll turn creative direction into thoughtful, polished, unmistakably Tin Can design.\nYou’ll take established brand direction and run with it: taking a brief, figuring out what it needs, designing the thing, refining the details, and getting it out the door. You’ll have a strong eye, a good instinct for what feels fresh, and the ability to move quickly without sacrificing the work.\nWhat You’ll Do\nBring creative concepts and campaigns to life across social, web, email, packaging, retail, events, and other brand touchpoints\n\nAct as a right hand to the Design Director, helping translate creative direction into strong visual executions\n\nPartner closely with our media and social leads to develop scroll-stopping social content, from individual posts to larger social moments and campaigns\n\nTake creative briefs and turn them into thoughtful, polished design solutions\n\nDesign everything from big visual moments to the tiny details that make a piece of work feel special\n\nAdapt and extend creative across formats, platforms, and channels while keeping the work cohesive\n\nHelp evolve and maintain Tin Can’s visual language through the day-to-day work\n\nCollaborate with copywriters, marketers, social, product, and other teams to make ideas better and bring them over the finish line\n\nWork with photographers, illustrators, animators, production partners, and other creatives as needed\n\nBuild templates, toolkits, and systems that help the team create great work efficiently\n\nManage multiple projects and deadlines while keeping quality high\n\nBe an active participant in critiques, brainstorms, and creative reviews\n\nYou’re Great At\nMaking. You genuinely like getting into the work and making things look good.\n\nVisual problem-solving. You know how to make a brief stronger through design and take a creative idea and figure out how to make it work across different formats and channels, not just decorate it.\n\nThe details. Typography, composition, hierarchy, spacing, image selection, color, and all the little things that separate “fine” from “heck yes.”\n\nMoving quickly. You can work within a bit of ambiguity in a fast-moving environment, prioritize, and keep projects moving without needing everything perfectly figured out upfront.\n\nCollaboration. You’re comfortable working closely with creative leads and channel owners, taking direction, contributing ideas, and making the work better together.\n\nBrand consistency. You understand how to work within an established visual identity while still finding ways to keep it feeling fresh.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n3-5+ years of experience in brand design, graphic design, or a similar creative role\n\nA portfolio that shows excellent visual design and strong execution across multiple channels\n\nStrong typography, layout, composition, and production skills\n\nExperience designing for social and digital platforms\n\nComfort working within an existing brand system and extending it into new applications\n\nStrong Figma and Adobe Creative Suite skills\n\nExcellent attention to detail and organizational skills\n\nA collaborative, low-ego approach to creative work\n\nA genuine interest in brands, culture, design, and making things people want to look at\n\nBonus Points\nMotion or animation skills\n\nPhotography or art direction experience\n\nExperience with packaging or physical brand experiences\n\nExperience working at a startup, agency, or other fast-moving creative environment\n\nAn instinct for the weird, clever, colorful, and unexpected\n\nWhy Join Tin Can\nWe're building tech that protects childhood: We're on a quest to give kids a more analog childhood - one with real conversations, real connection, and way less screen time. This is a rare opportunity to build something that truly matters.\n\nBuild something from (almost) nothing: most lifecycle roles ask you to optimize an existing program. This one is yours to shape from the ground up, with the freedom to define what good looks like and real ownership over the results.\n\nA seat with real reach: your work touches nearly every part of the customer journey - giving you outsized influence over retention and revenue, not just one narrow slice of it.\n\nSmall, high-trust team: Every company says \"team,\" but at Tin Can it means something different. We're a small, mission-driven group that genuinely has each other's backs - professionally and personally. Your ideas and instincts matter from day one.\n\nIf you're excited by the idea of shaping how thousands of families experience something simpler and better for their kids, please reach out. We can't wait to meet someone who's ready to jump in, set the bar, and help us grow.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5500,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Smart Home Devices"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T22:31:29Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":56,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":140000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tin-can-brand-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tin-can-brand-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T18:56:49Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24715,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":11008},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=11008"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftin-can-brand-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftin-can-brand-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftin-can-brand-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/tin-can-brand-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftin-can-brand-designer"}]}
