Proof of work

The team

Breakout is a crypto-native prop trading platform backed by Kraken. Founded in 2023 by industry veterans, we combine deep liquidity, cutting-edge technology, and world-class risk management to create an unparalleled trading experience. With a commitment to transparency and innovation, we’re empowering traders to succeed in competitive markets while driving the future of trading. Recently acquired by Kraken, this acquisition gains the benefit of Kraken’s global infrastructure and trusted brand.

The opportunity

We’re hiring a Designer who wants to do more than make things look good — you want to define how a category leader shows up in the world. This is a high-impact creative role where you’ll shape the visual identity of the top prop trading firm in crypto, helping us build a brand that feels as fast, sharp, and forward-thinking as the industry itself.

You’ll concept and create work across every channel we touch — from paid ads to high-conversion landing pages to social content that stops people mid-scroll. You’ll partner closely with our in-house copywriter and our network of freelance creatives to bring ideas to life, test bold new directions, and scale a performance engine that thrives on experimentation.

If you’re a designer who loves moving quickly, pushing creative boundaries, and seeing your work directly influence business outcomes, this is the place to do your best work.

Define and evolve the visual identity of Breakout, ensuring everything we create looks cohesive, modern, and unmistakably “us.”
Concept and design high-performing assets for performance channels like Meta, TikTok, X, YouTube, Google, and programmatic.
Create visually compelling organic and community content for X, Discord, Reddit, and more.
Design for owned spaces including the marketing site, landing pages, and visual components of lifecycle communications like email.
Collaborate with the in-house copywriter to generate fresh creative concepts, angles, and campaign ideas.
Produce test-ready asset variations at scale to power a high-velocity growth marketing program.
Bring new visual ideas to the table ( new formats, new directions, new templates) and iterate quickly based on performance insights.
Ensure Breakout’s visual identity remains consistent, elevated, and aligned with our brand as the company grows.

Skills you should HODL

4+ years of design experience, ideally in a startup, fintech, or high-growth digital environment.
A portfolio that demonstrates strong taste, composition, typography, and the ability to make digital work feel both strategic and alive.
Fluent designing for performance and brand across channels like Meta, TikTok, X, YouTube, Google, and more.
Comfortable producing multiple asset variations quickly (not just one-off designs) and iterating based on data.
Collaborative, curious, and energized by working with copywriters, marketers, and creative partners.
Highly organized with a strong attention to detail, especially when moving fast.
Excited by global, fast-moving industries and the chance to build the visual language for a category-defining company.
