Marketing Designer and Developer (Austin, TX)

Austin, TX
📍 Location: Austin, TX (Downtown HQ)
💼 Type: Full-time
💰 Compensation: Competitive salary + equity + premium benefits
 
At most companies, marketing designers hand off mockups and hope someone else executes. Not here. At Files.com, we hire designers who build. Designers who bring their ideas to life in React, JSX, and CSS — shipping directly into production.
 
That’s possible because of our culture. We’re an engineering-first company with a CEO who codes and a marketing team that matches that ethos. Design here isn’t decoration; it’s a system, a growth engine, and a core driver of how we scale.
 
This is not a “make it pretty” role. It’s a Marketing Designer & Developer role: full-funnel impact, engineering-level execution, and a mandate to shape how the world sees Files.com at enterprise scale. From ads and websites to trade shows and collateral, you’ll own the full journey.

Who We Are

We’re Files.com, a profitable, founder-led SaaS company powering secure file transfer and automation for 4,000+ enterprise brands you know: Marc Jacobs, GrubHub, Michelin, Hot Topic, Stamps.com, Planet Fitness, KFC, and more.
 
We’ve built a $35M+ business with just 70 people by hiring smart, disciplined, high-output teammates who act fast and own outcomes. Backed by $46.5M from Riverwood Capital, we’re scaling intentionally — and this role is a critical part of that growth.
 
Our Austin HQ is in the heart of downtown with sweeping views of the Capitol, a private gym, and all the amenities of a world-class workspace. It’s the center of creative energy for our marketing team, and where you’ll collaborate closely every day.

What Makes This Role Different

🎨 Design That Drives Growth – At Files.com, design is directly tied to pipeline. Every campaign, page, and asset you create will be seen by thousands of IT professionals and measured against real outcomes.
 
🌍 Full-Funnel Impact – You won’t be limited to a single channel. Your work will touch everything: websites, ads, social, events, collateral, and more — shaping the entire journey from first impression to lasting customer experience.
 
⚙️ Engineering-First Execution – With a CEO who codes and a culture that values clarity and precision, design here doesn’t stop in Figma. You’ll ship real work in React, Next.js, and CSS — design that actually launches.
 
✨ High Bar for Taste + Effectiveness – We believe in aesthetics that convert. This isn’t about chasing trends — it’s about clean, disciplined design that balances beauty with ruthless focus on clarity and impact.
 
📐 System Builders, Not Stylists – You’ll architect reusable systems, libraries, and standards that scale campaigns quickly without sacrificing quality.
 
🤝 Collaborative and Cross-Functional – Marketing Designers work hand-in-hand with Growth, Product Marketing, Content, and Sales. Feedback loops are fast, visibility is high, and ideas move quickly from concept to live.
 
📊 Impact at Scale – Files.com isn’t a startup with 100 monthly visitors. We serve thousands of enterprise customers, and our campaigns reach hundreds of thousands of professionals annually. Your work defines how Fortune 500s and high-growth startups alike see our brand.

What You’ll Actually Do

  • Own End-to-End Design Assets: Take projects from concept to execution across landing pages, campaigns, ads, email templates, social graphics, and trade show experiences.
  • Implement in Code: Write JSX and advanced CSS directly in React branches to build components and ship improvements live.
  • Design for Growth: Translate marketing objectives into creative that drives measurable results — lead generation, conversion, and brand impact.
  • Iterate Rapidly: Use A/B testing, analytics, and feedback loops to refine design continuously.
  • Build Scalable Systems: Develop reusable design systems, component libraries, and brand standards.
  • Collaborate Closely: Partner daily with marketing and sales leadership in Austin to brainstorm, critique, and sharpen campaigns.
  • Proactive Ownership: Identify opportunities to elevate consistency, conversion, and design quality before anyone asks.

What Success Looks Like

  • Landing pages and campaigns don’t just look good — they convert.
  • Design systems you create get reused across the team, making everyone faster.
  • Internal stakeholders consistently describe your work as clear, modern, and effective.
  • External audiences — thousands of IT professionals — consistently encounter Files.com as a brand that looks as sharp as it performs.
  • You’re recognized as the person who bridges design and engineering, delivering creative that actually ships.

Who Thrives in This Role

✅ Refined visual taste — knows the difference between “good enough” and “exceptional.”
✅ Equally comfortable in Figma and React.
✅ Creates not just one-off designs, but scalable systems and standards.
✅ Energized by shipping work fast and refining through real-world feedback.
✅ Loves collaborating in person — brainstorming, iterating, and launching quickly.

Show, Don’t Tell

At Files.com, design is judged in the details — and that starts with your application. We don’t just want to hear that you have great taste, we want to see it.
 
That means a portfolio that shows your eye for visual polish, your ability to build system-level consistency, and your knack for turning complex objectives into clear, persuasive visuals. We want proof that you can design for growth — and ship it live.
 
If your portfolio makes us stop, look twice, and think “this person has both taste and technical execution,” then you’re already halfway there.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

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.
