About us

Avride is autonomous driving technology. We're building two products simultaneously: a robotaxi for passenger transportation and delivery robots for last-mile logistics. Both are already operating on city streets — not in test mode, but in real-world deployment. We're a small, focused team — no unnecessary approval layers or diffused ownership. There are complex challenges, fast decisions, and a product people can see in person.

The role

We're looking for a Senior Brand Designer to build and evolve Avride's visual language — from strategic decisions to hands-on execution. This is one of the first dedicated brand roles at the company, so you'll have real influence over how Avride looks and feels. You'll work closely with marketing, product, and leadership — translating a technically complex subject into clear, compelling, and visually strong communication.

What you'll do

Develop and maintain Avride's visual identity — from brand guidelines to specific applications
Design materials for marketing, PR, events, partner presentations, and B2B communications
Set and uphold design standards across all touchpoints — digital, print, and physical
Contribute to campaign concepting and visual storytelling
Coordinate external contractors and agencies

Who we're looking for

5+ years of professional brand design experience in a commercial environment
A strong portfolio featuring comprehensive brand identity work — not just individual mockups
Experience with design systems and brand guidelines — you know how to create the rules and ensure they're followed
Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite
Strong skills in typography, visual systems, conceptual thinking, and storytelling
Comfort operating autonomously in a small team — no hand-holding, no waiting for perfect briefs
Strong English — written and spoken; we work in an international environment

Nice to have

Experience at early-stage startups where a brand was built or rebuilt from scratch
Experience working with technically complex products — robotics, automotive, hardware
3D skills for creating visually compelling content and bringing ideas to life through dynamic imagery

What we offer

Work on a product that physically exists in the world and continues to scale
Influence over the company's visual identity from day one
A small team where you don't need to wait for permission to try something new
