Staff Visual Designer

Europe - Remote

At Backlight, our vision is to dramatically improve every stage of the video and entertainment content lifecycle, from creation through monetization. We’re redefining media management, helping some of the world’s largest brands—such as Netflix, NBA, and Spotify—discover and create compelling stories without barriers. Join us in our mission and be part of a dynamic team that’s shaping the future of media management.

Our brand and creative team is at the center of everything we do, defining the way our products look, sound, and show up in market. We partner with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to ensure the Backlight brand is consistent, forward-thinking, and impactful.

Position Overview:
We’re seeking a visual designer to elevate our brand in specific, high-visibility ways. This hands-on role will be a key contributor to the ongoing development of Backlight’s brand, joining an in-house team that’s rapidly evolving to meet the demands of the business.

What You’ll Do:

  • Visual Design: Our team makes everything: slide decks, marketing ads, sales materials, emails, landing pages. In this role, you’ll be first and foremost a maker — you’ll define systems for layouts, typography, color, and composition, pushing the Backlight brand forward through the delivery of our most critical assets.
  • Motion Design and Oversight: Individually, and with the assistance of external agencies and consultants, you will guide the production of motion assets. This role will also contribute to the creation of motion design guidelines that will define when and how our creative comes to life.
  • Design Strategy: Why we make what we make is as important as the final asset — to that end, this role will be involved in the entire creative process, from brief to measurement. The brand and creative team is a force multiplier for the company, and it is everyone’s responsibility to push ideas and concepts so that they are innovative and sharp. 

What You’ll Bring:

  • Speed & Scale: We are not a mass production shop, but we do have deadlines. Experience working for in-house teams or agencies where design craft collides with deliverable calendars is key.
  • Results: Every designer has great work that’s never shipped, and while spec creative can be compelling, we are looking for someone who has work in the wild they can point to — even better if you can speak to the outcomes of that work in addition to the process.
  • Authenticity: Wide points of reference are welcomed. Non-linear careers are invited. We get that not everyone has direct 1:1 B2B Media SaaS experience — and that’s ok. Show us that record cover you designed. Or the side project you’re working on. Or those ceramics just out of view on Zoom. Our team is made up of folks with diverse design backgrounds, and we value taste above all else — show us yours.

This is an opportunity to make a direct impact on how Backlight is perceived by the world. You’ll work in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment where your creative work will help shape the future of media. We think you’ll have fun doing it too.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary with performance-based bonuses.
  • Fully remote working model with flexible hours.
  • 25 days annual leave.
  • Opportunities for career growth in a rapidly scaling tech company.
  • Benefits package including health insurance and home office setup costs.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
