HILOS is building the first 3D design platform made specifically for footwear—no CAD required. Powered by machine learning, our core geometry engine breaks down barriers between 2D and 3D, design and manufacturing.
Our cross-functional team sits at the intersection of footwear and software, combining craft and intelligence to give designers a second brain and third hand. We're here to amplify human impact in real-world creation—and we believe the tools should be just as inspiring as the work they enable.
As a startup we prioritize individual growth, ownership, being proactive and transparent. We're a small and dynamic team assembled from around the world and across software, 3D design, and footwear industries. Highly curious and multifaceted personalities thrive here. There's a lot of freedom and responsibility, not a lot of support resources or process constraints.
We need someone who can make HILOS look and sound as good as the product actually is.
This is a part-time or contract role combining graphic design, social media content creation, email marketing, and visual storytelling — all in one person. You'll work directly with leadership to build our visual presence from the ground up: designing social posts, crafting email campaigns, creating brand assets, and shipping content that makes people stop scrolling.
We're not looking for someone to execute a brand guidelines PDF. We're looking for a creative partner who can help define and evolve what HILOS looks and feels like across every touchpoint — from an Instagram carousel to a product launch email to an event poster.
Social Content — Design and produce content for Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok. Build templates and visual systems that are consistent but not rigid. Create content that showcases our product, our community, and the world of footwear design in a way that feels native to each platform.
Email Marketing — Design and build email campaigns: product updates, user onboarding sequences, community newsletters. Write copy that sounds human, not corporate. Manage our email platform and track what's working.
Graphic Design — Create brand assets as needed: presentation decks, event materials, one-pagers, web graphics, and product visuals. Maintain and evolve a lightweight brand system that keeps everything feeling cohesive.
Visual Storytelling — Help us tell the story of HILOS through imagery and design. This might mean creating short-form video content, animating a product feature, or designing a case study that shows what our users are making.
