Web Designer

Factory is seeking a hands-on Web Designer to take ownership of the company’s website end to end, guiding work from concept through production code and ongoing improvements. This is an onsite role in San Francisco, CA, built for someone who can balance visual direction with real implementation across design, motion, and frontend development.

You’ll collaborate closely with Design, Marketing, and Engineering to evolve the site’s look and behavior while shipping frequent updates. The focus is on creating clear, explore-worthy experiences that remain responsive, accessible, and fast across devices and browsers.

What you’ll own

• Own Factory’s website end to end, including concept, design, prototyping, frontend development, testing, launch, and ongoing iteration.
• Design and build product pages, campaign landing pages, launch experiences, and other additions to the site.
• Create and implement motion, animation, and interactions such as page transitions, scroll-driven storytelling, hover states, and interactive product demonstrations.
• Evolve the site’s visual language and reusable components so new pages can ship quickly while preserving the existing character and craft.
• Partner with Marketing and Product to translate technical capabilities into stories people can understand and explore.
• Ship frequent content updates and design improvements, maintaining the existing site with the same care as new launches.
• Ensure every experience is responsive, accessible, and fast, including ownership of details across screen sizes and browsers and reduced-motion behavior.
• Use analytics, user feedback, and experimentation to improve navigation, engagement, and conversion.

What you bring

• Experience designing and building production websites, with a portfolio of live work showing strong visual craft and hands-on implementation.
• Excellent typography, layout, composition, and interaction design skills, with the ability to carry an identity through to the smallest details.
• Proficiency in Figma and a comfortable workflow moving between design, prototyping, and code.
• Strong HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills, including experience shipping with modern frontend frameworks such as React or Next.js.
• Experience implementing web animation and motion, with a sense for timing and easing and restraint when it improves the experience.
• Understanding of responsive design, accessibility, browser behavior, and web performance.
• Ability to take an open-ended brief, propose a direction, and carry it through implementation, balancing ambitious work with quick, frequent updates.
• Experience using AI tools to prototype and build, plus judgment to review and refine what they produce.
• Bonus: experience with creative coding, WebGL, 3D, or animation tools such as GSAP, Motion, or Rive.
• Include links to websites you’ve shipped and a short note on what you personally designed and built, with motion and interaction work in the browser preferred.
