Gumroad

Gumroad is a profitable, independent, and venture-debt-free tool for creators. We've paid out over $1 billion. Now, we're growing a high-density team in New York to reclaim our spot as the #1 creator economy tool. To get there, we need world-class design that makes every creator interaction intuitive, delightful, and effortless.

This is a full-time, in-person role in New York. If you'd prefer to contribute remotely, check out our open-source bounties.

What you'll do

You will own the look, feel, and usability of Gumroad. Every screen a creator touches, every flow a buyer completes — that's your canvas. Your job is to ensure the experience is clear, beautiful, and gets out of the way.

End-to-end product design: Own the design of creator-facing features from concept to launch, ensuring every pixel serves our creators.
Design systems and consistency: Build and maintain design systems that scale across web and mobile experiences.
User research and iteration: Talk to creators, understand their needs, and rapidly iterate on designs based on real feedback.
Collaboration: Work closely with engineers, open source contributors, and other designers to ship polished products.

The stack

We ship with tools that work.

Design tools: Figma, prototyping.
Frontend basics: HTML, CSS, understanding of React and Tailwind.
Design systems: Component libraries, tokens, documentation.

What we offer

We are a high-output team of builders. We don't have an HR department, we don't have "middle managers," and we don't do corporate side quests.

$189k-$210k/year + bonus + benefits
