Brand Designer

at Merge API

New York, United States

Merge is the leading provider of agentic tools and customer-facing integrations for frontier LLMs, Fortune 500 organizations, and B2B SaaS companies. Our platform offers two core products: Merge Unified, which enables businesses to add hundreds of integrations to their products with a single API, and Merge Agent Handler, which empowers AI agents with secure access to thousands of third-party tools. Merge's enterprise-grade platform handles the entire integration lifecycle, from authentication and security to monitoring and maintenance. Thousands of companies trust Merge to accelerate product development, unblock sales, reduce customer churn, and save engineering resources—allowing them to focus on their core product.

We're looking for a Brand Designer to join Merge and help shape a brand that breaks the mold of typical B2B tech. This is your chance to define how our company shows up across every surface: web, events, social, product, and beyond.

At Merge, we're building a brand identity rooted in precision, craft, and technical sophistication. We need a designer who gets excited about translating complex API and AI infra concepts into striking, accessible visual stories; someone who can make infrastructure feel inspiring. You'll be designing for an audience of builders: developers, product managers, and technical professionals who value clarity, intelligence, and authenticity over generic aesthetics. If you're drawn to brands that respect their audience's intelligence and push creative boundaries in technical spaces, this role is for you.
