Role

As Samaya’s Contract Senior Brand Designer, you will drive the visual identity and brand execution that powers our GTM motion, website, marketing assets, and external presence. You’ll partner closely with Design, Product, and GTM teams to create consistent, high-quality visuals while enabling the core product design team to stay focused on system-level and feature work.

You will own the creation of high-impact decks, 1-pagers, marketing assets, social visuals, hiring materials, and event collateral - ensuring Samaya presents a unified, polished brand across every touchpoint.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the outward expression of a fast-growing AI startup. You’ll work across cross-functional priorities, contribute to a high-velocity GTM engine, and define the scalable brand systems needed as Samaya expands.

This role is ideal for a designer who thrives in fast-moving environments, enjoys creative ownership, and wants to have a direct impact on how a category-defining company shows up in the world.

  • Build and maintain scalable templates, light design systems, and repeatable asset libraries
  • Support the redesign and evolution of Samaya’s website and marketing pages
  • Deliver high-quality, fast-turnaround work that frees the core design team to focus on product and design system priorities

  • Familiarity with marketing website design and landing page best practices

About Samaya

Samaya is building the first AI agents designed specifically for expert knowledge work in financial services - one of the world’s largest and most information-intensive industries.

In today’s financial world, professionals face overwhelming volumes of fast-moving, complex information. Traditional tools, and even general-purpose AI, lack the accuracy, depth, and reliability needed for critical decisions. We believe AI should go beyond helpful suggestions, it should act as a true expert collaborator.

Our mission is to supercharge financial research and decision-making by empowering professionals to build their own teams of expert AI agents. These agents combine exceptional speed and precision: answering deep questions instantly, automating complex workflows, and delivering structured, predictive insights. Samaya’s platform combines cutting-edge domain-specialized AI models, a world-class engineering and ML team, and a simple, intuitive interface designed for financial professionals.

We’re growing quickly, our user base has scaled from hundreds to 10,000+, with partnerships spanning top financial institutions around the world, including Morgan Stanley, a top 5 hedge fund, a top 5 asset management firm, and more.

We’re backed by $43.5M in Series A funding led by NEA, with investors including Eric Schmidt, Yann LeCun, Jeff Dean, Marty Chavez, and Mark Cuban.

If you’re excited about building expert AI that transforms how knowledge work is done, and want to be part of a fast-moving, supportive, and ambitious team - we’d love to hear from you.

Our Operating Principles

  • Put Users first. Our users rely on us to do their jobs. We exist because our users trust us to help them achieve their goals. In return for this trust users place in us, we keep their needs as our top priority.
  • Win as a collective. We are high achievers with a drive to succeed. We build strong bonds over this shared drive. We dive in to help when one of us needs it. We’re kind to each other and boost each other to succeed and grow professionally and personally. We build trust with each other by making commitments and consistently delivering on them. This trust means we genuinely support each other, embracing feedback as a tool for growth and improvement. We win by operating this way, as one team.
  • Focus and iterate quickly. Bias for action makes us build and learn quickly. Iterating fast requires clarity on what outcomes we are targeting and why. Prioritizing the important things, taking full ownership and initiative, making fast initial progress, and rapid iterations lead to the best outcomes.
  • Innovate Relentlessly. We pursue novel insights, challenging the status quo and reimagining how things are done. We aren’t attached to the past when improving our product and how we work in the future. We actively invest time in innovation, thinking “outside the box” to consistently raise our standards.
  • Prioritize Outcomes over Egos. We are committed not to a person, an idea, or an opinion but to continuously making progress to our goals. Sometimes, our goals are ambiguous; in those moments, we iterate, learn, and move on to the next inquiry. We ask the tough questions with kindness, dropping our egos in our pursuit of evidence. For our business goals, we learn from our users. For our scientific goals, our understanding is built through rigorous experimentation, research, and observation. For our personal goals, we embrace candid feedback and collaborative learning to guide our progress.
