Brand Designer

We're looking for a Brand Designer to join Merge and help shape a brand that breaks the mold of typical B2B tech. This is your chance to define how our company shows up across every surface: web, events, social, product, and beyond.

At Merge, we're building a brand identity rooted in precision, craft, and technical sophistication. We need a designer who gets excited about translating complex API and AI infra concepts into striking, accessible visual stories; someone who can make infrastructure feel inspiring.

If you're drawn to brands that respect their audience's intelligence and push creative boundaries in technical spaces, this role is for you.
