About the Team
Brand Design at Decagon shapes the visual identity of our company and helps define how we’re perceived by customers, partners, and the broader AI community. Our work turns sophisticated technology into clear, confident, and differentiated brand storytelling—across campaigns, content, web, and moments that shape perception.
We believe strong brands are built through taste, consistency, and conviction. We care deeply about craft, narrative, cohesion, and expanding the brand into new, exciting territories while building its core.

This role is ideal for a designer who is excited by storytelling, energized by momentum, and motivated by building a brand thoughtfully, not just executing individual assets.
