Before you apply, we encourage you to explore our culture page to understand what drives us and how we work.
The team
Breakout is a crypto prop trading program that gives skilled traders access to capital, with up to 90% of profits going to the trader. Traders pass a one-step evaluation, then trade funded accounts up to $200K with on-demand profit withdrawals, 24/7.
You will own design for Breakout across web, lifecycle, and brand, with web as the clear priority. This is a hands-on, in-the-trenches role, not a manager role. You are not here to manage designers. You are here to design the web pages and marketing assets that bring new traders to Breakout, and to build the systems that let the rest of the team design without you.
Reporting directly to the VP of Growth, you will own the design of our website and core conversion flows, then carry that craft into the wider marketing surface: lifecycle email, organic social, and the brand system that holds it all together. Web is the priority, and because you own the website end-to-end, strong UX and conversion instincts are essential — how pages are structured, how visitors move through them, and how that turns into signups. Everything else compounds off the same foundation.
The part that makes this role different is AI. We want someone who builds scalable design systems with AI so the wider team can self-serve. Instead of being the bottleneck for every page, slide, banner, and email, you will design the components, templates, prompts, and guardrails that let Conversion, Social, Lifecycle, and Marketing Operations produce on-brand work on their own — and you will keep raising the ceiling on what those systems can do.
You will work side-by-side with our Conversion, Content, Social, Lifecycle, and Marketing Operations teammates, and with Payward's (Kraken's) design and brand teams where their scale helps. You will turn copy into pages, ideas into prototypes, and one-off requests into reusable systems.
