About Scanner

At Scanner.dev, we love solving hard problems. Our mission is to make complex data problems simple by rethinking how log search, threat detection and observability work at scale. We index logs directly in S3 and deliver blazing-fast, developer-friendly search and threat-hunting workflows.

You’ll join at a moment when our brand and product experience are accelerating. You’ll work on high-leverage features that shape how our customers use Scanner, and you’ll help bring our brand story to life across design and marketing.

What you’ll own

  • Branding and marketing design: You’ll define how the world sees Scanner. From visual identity to campaigns, you’ll lead creative that differentiates us in a crowded market and communicates our product’s unique power.
  • Product experience design: You’ll design the core surfaces of Scanner, from feature workflows to UI systems, crafting an intuitive, beautiful product that engineers and analysts love to use.

What we’re looking for

  • 5 years of professional design experience: spanning product, brand, and marketing.
  • Excellent collaborator with a startup mindset: you’ll work closely with founders, design, front and backend engineering, product, and marketing. You thrive under ambiguity, love to ship fast, and enjoy wearing different hats.
  • Craft and systems thinking: you drive visual and interactive polish for every detail while designing scalable systems that bring consistency across the product.
  • Bonus: experience in B2B SaaS, developer tools, or the security/observability domain.

Why you’ll love working here

  • Impact & ownership: Join a small, high-trust team where your work directly shapes how users experience and perceive Scanner.
  • Ambitious product: We solve hard problems with massive scale log search, threat hunting, and observability for cloud-native infrastructure.
  • Fast-paced team & culture: We’re lean, collaborative and high-velocity. Your designs move quickly into shipped code and marketing.
  • Growth & autonomy: We trust you to take major creative ownership, give you the space to grow, and we’ll support your professional development.
  • Perfect for you if: You love working across brand and product, enjoy the momentum of an early-stage team, and want your design work to span from marketing to core product experiences.
