About this role

Quilt is looking for a junior visual designer to help shape our brand across platforms and audiences. This is a part-time engagement to start, with potential to grow into a full-time role as our needs expand.

Quilt is turning heat pumps into a coveted category, and our visual identity is one of the defining aspects of our young brand (example & example). You’ll be contributing to content and experiences that align with our marketing and product strategies, and help us stand out in a category that’s overdue for a visual overhaul.

Who you’ll work with: a small and mighty design team that collaborates cross-functionally with the entire Quilt org — from marketing and sales to hardware and everything in between — to drive customer and partner-focused designs that cohesively communicate our brand message and values.

What you’ll do

  • Support design projects from concept to completion across platforms and mediums, including social, paid media, digital, print, and video
  • Collaborate with marketing, partner success, UX, and product to develop and design multi-channel marketing campaigns
  • Review co-branded marketing materials from partners nationwide and provide actionable feedback to align with Quilt’s brand guidelines and visual standards
  • Help maintain and grow our brand guidelines, ensuring consistent implementation across channels
  • Contribute to brand strategy as our visual identity continues to evolve across a budding product ecosystem

You qualify if you have

  • A strong portfolio showcasing visual design skills across mediums — quality of work matters more than years of experience
  • Exceptional attention to detail: pixel-perfect execution, consistency, and craft are central to this role
  • Strong core design skills — typography, layout, color, and composition
  • Familiarity with brand guidelines and design systems
  • Experience designing across marketing channels such as web, email, and social
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively with a cross-disciplinary team
  • Experience or interest in video and photo editing is a plus

You’ll thrive in this role if you

  • Sweat the small stuff — you notice when something is 2px off and it bothers you
  • Are scrappy, thrive in a fast-paced startup environment, and adapt quickly to changing priorities
  • Delight in being fast and flexible in early design stages, and precise and polished at the finish line
  • Are radically learning-focused, with a growth mindset and eagerness to improve your craft
  • Love to experiment with new techniques, tools, and technologies
  • Would like to fight climate change AND make beautiful things

This is a part-time, hybrid position — 15 to 20 hours a week, with at least one day per week in our Redwood City office. The expected hourly rate is $40 - $60, based on experience. 

To apply, submit:

  • Your resume
  • Your portfolio
  • We don’t require a cover letter, but — to help us filter out bots and the unserious — we do require including a 🦀 somewhere in your application

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

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.
