Web Design Intern
HashiCorp is a fast-growing startup that solves development, operations, and security challenges in infrastructure so organizations can focus on business-critical tasks. We build products to give organizations a consistent way to manage their move to cloud-based IT infrastructures for running their applications. Our products enable companies large and small to mix and match AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and other clouds as well as on-premises environments, easing their ability to deliver new applications for their business.
Meet the Team
As part of the Hashicorp Design org, the Web Presence Design team is a group of super talented UX designers working in close partnership with HashiCorp Marketing and Web Engineering. Led by our Group Creative Director, the team is paired with Brand & Communications Design—both working in concert to support each other in pushing the design envelope.
What We Do
We help express the value of our brand through visual communication, kinetics, and interaction to engage, educate, and establish trust with both practitioners who love our products and enterprises looking to improve their businesses at scale with HashiCorp.
Our team strives to do this with the user at heart and our ‘beauty works better’ principle in hand. We believe the design process can and should feel satisfying for stakeholders, continually improve with insights, and regularly deliver positive outcomes for our business.
