Job Description

Location: Remote from Europe

About Xata: Xata is the modern Postgres platform that helps engineering teams ship faster with instant database branches, anonymized production-like data, and zero-downtime schema changes. We connect directly to your existing Postgres, whether it’s RDS, Aurora, CloudSQL, Azure Database, or self-hosted, and bring a realistic, production-like development workflow to every pull request. We’re a Series A, fully remote team across Europe and the US (around 25 people). Our customers use Xata to eliminate staging pain, speed up development, and make Postgres scalable for AI-era applications.

In this role, you will:

• Lead the evolution of Xata’s visual brand system, including guidelines for illustrations, iconography, typography, and colour usage.
• Design marketing assets across channels: website visuals, landing pages, blog illustrations, launch graphics, social media assets, and presentations.
• Create swag and physical assets (t-shirts, stickers, conference materials) that developers actually want to wear.
• Work closely with marketing and product to support product launches, announcements, and campaigns.
• Contribute to the public website, collaborating with frontend engineers and our design engineer to ensure designs translate well into production.
• Help communicate complex technical concepts visually, especially for developer-focused audiences.

Requirements

We work with:

• Figma (primary design tool)
• Whimsical
• Notion
• GitHub
• Modern web stacks (Next.js, Tailwind) - familiarity is a plus, not a requirement
• AI-assisted design tools (we’re open to experimentation)
