Instrument is a remote-first digital product and brand experience agency with over 200 talented people across four teams, each focused on a core offering and dedicated to producing best-in-class work. Our shift to a fully remote model has amplified our ability to foster creativity, build strong relationships, and engage with clients in dynamic ways. This flexibility has not only strengthened our company culture but also enabled us to embrace diverse perspectives. We remain deeply committed to career advancement, personal support, and ensuring a healthy work-life balance for everyone we hire.
You're a visual and interactive designer who loves to bring clarity to complex concepts through design. You’re passionate about building, prototyping, and continually evolving digital products throughout the product life cycle. You’re not precious about any one solution, because you know that exploration and iteration gets you to the right answer.
You’re always up on the latest and greatest in technology, and obsess over details with an eye for sharp visual design. You love to work collaboratively on a team, but are also comfortable as the sole designer working directly with developers and responsible for delivering big ideas. You’ll be creating and pushing yourself each day; you’ll be a lynchpin, so there's no hiding behind anyone else in this role.
