Marketing Web Designer

GitHub is the best place to build software together. Over 12 million people use GitHub to share code and build amazing things with friends, co-workers, classmates, and complete strangers. With the collaborative features of GitHub.com, our desktop and mobile apps, and GitHub Enterprise, it has never been easier for individuals and teams to write better code, faster.

As a marketing-focused web designer, you create visuals that delight and inform. You collaborate well in the individual roles of designing or building, and can do both together as needed. You're the kind of person that wants to learn how a system works in order to improve it, rather than throw it all out and start over. Most of all, you want to create experiences that people love.
