Responsibilities
About UsWe’re the team behind KitBash3D and Greyscalegorilla, two brands united by one mission: to empower 3D artists to bring their ideas to life. With two decades of combined experience, we’ve helped creators across film, games, and digital media tell their stories and build their worlds. Our software tools and 3D assets have been trusted by artists and studios around the globe, from major productions with Marvel, Netflix, and others, to independent creators shaping the future of 3D. Now, we’ve joined forces to create the next generation of connected tools that simplify workflows, inspire creativity, and put the artist first. Two brands. One company. For all 3D artists.Cargo is our unified web and desktop application where tens of thousands of artists discover, organize, and use 3D assets across productions, from indie games to blockbuster films. Cargo spans multiple product lines: an asset browser for discovering content, interoperability layers for moving work across 3D software, and workflow plugins that live inside artists' tools. We're a small team doing ambitious work.Cargo has an established product and design foundation, and we're now expanding into new 0-1 product areas that will define how studios manage and collaborate on 3D work. This role sits at the center of that evolution.About the RoleThe Hybrid Builder: This isn't a traditional product design role. As our solo Product Designer, you’ll have the autonomy to define the foundational user experience for Cargo’s next chapter. We’re looking for a designer-builder who is as comfortable in the codebase as they are in Figma—someone who views the bridge between design and implementation as an essential part of their creative process.You’ll carry projects through the entire lifecycle: from a whiteboard sketch to an interactive prototype, and finally to production-quality frontend code. You’ll spend the majority of your time in design (user flows, Figma specs, interaction patterns), but you’ll also ship the React components and CSS polish that turn a good product into one that feels exceptional. By owning this “final mile,” you’ll ensure that no detail is lost in translation.Stewarding the System: You’ll inherit an established design system and lead its evolution, extending patterns to support entirely new product surfaces while keeping the experience cohesive. Much of what we’re building has no clear industry precedent; we need a designer who is energized by that “blank canvas” and who thrives on the challenge of bringing structure to complex, ambiguous problems. You won't just be following a roadmap, you'll be helping us draw it.We’re building deeply opinionated tools for 3D professionals. We hold a high bar for our craft because our users do, too. We’re looking for someone who wouldn’t have it any other way.Engagement TypeThis is a full-time, Independent Contractor opportunity. We are looking for a long-term partner to grow with the team, but the legal relationship will be structured as a contractor agreement.Location: Fully remote (Europe or LATAM).What You'll ContributeDesignOwn end-to-end product design across Cargo's product lines, from helping shape early concepts through detailed interaction designEvolve and extend our established design system in Figma and in code as we expand into new product areasShape 0-1 product surfaces where no design precedent exists yet, while keeping them cohesive with the broader Cargo experienceIterate rapidly based on user feedbackMake opinionated decisions about UX (strong point of view; willing to be wrong rather than play it safe)AI-Native WorkflowUse AI as a core part of how you work—your daily tool for exploration, iteration, prototyping, and learningHave strong opinions about how AI changes the design and development process, and push the team's thinkingLeverage AI to punch above your weight: move faster, explore more directions, and produce higher-fidelity work than traditional workflows aloneCodePrototype in code; pair ideas with working prototypes to feel it outShip frontend work in React—components, layouts, polish, animationOwn the final-mile quality gap of what truly makes the product feel excellentContribute to PRs, participate in code review, work inside the codebase dailyCraftCare about details most people skip: empty states, loading patterns, error messages, transitionsDesign QA what ships—catch drift between intent and implementation before users doWhat You Bring to the TeamStrong product design fundamentals: structure complex workflows into clear, usable interfacesDesign discernment: documented eye for high-quality craft and ability to articulate the objective principles behind software that feels intuitive and polishedAI-native: use AI tools daily to accelerate exploration, prototyping, and development; constantly experiment with new workflowsComfort with ambiguity: energized by both extending established patterns and inventing new ones from scratch when no precedent existsBias toward action: prioritize shipping and learning over prolonged debate, using real-world feedback as the best dataWorking proficiency in React and CSS: technical fluency to contribute to the production codebase and ship high-fidelity frontend workFigma fluency: think in components and systems, not one-off screens; maintain a scalable design languageExperience evolving an existing design system: add to a living system without breaking what's already thereEnglish fluency: strong professional verbal and written English skills; articulate complex design decisions and technical trade-offs to a global teamTime zone & Collaboration alignment: based in Europe or Latin America; maintain consistent daily overlap (typically 4+ hours) with the North American-based team for synchronous collaboration and stand-upsAn eye for fine details: observant and precise; catch “final-mile” details like empty states, transitions, and error handlingHighly accountable: take end-to-end ownership; individual accountability as foundation of team successAppetite for scale-up culture: self-starter who thrives in fast-moving environments and adapts to shifting product needsCommitment to continuous growth: seek new technical and creative challenges; evolve your toolkit as the industry changesBonus PointsExperience designing for creative tools, 3D software, or technical/developer audiencesFamiliarity with USD, DCCs (Blender, Maya, Unreal), or production pipeline workflowsExperience working in small, fast-moving product teams where roles blurWhat We OfferGenerous paid time off: including 12 company holidays and 2 seasonal companywide breaks annually, unlimited PTO, and paid parental leave$1,000 per year towards professional developmentOpportunities to work remotely from around the worldExclusive employee-only guest speakersBi-weekly team building: we call it Fuzzy FridayOpportunities for professional development and career growth as we growEqual Opportunity EmploymentWe are committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace.
