Why nice design jobs exists

I kept running into the same problem: when I wanted to find design roles at companies I actually cared about, there was nowhere good to look.

The big job boards are full of noise — thousands of generic listings, no sense of which companies are design-forward, no context on the teams you'd be joining. LinkedIn is overwhelming. Company career pages are scattered across the internet.

I wanted a curated list. The kind of companies that designers tell each other about. Anthropic, Linear, Nothing, Stripe, Figma — places where design has real influence, not just a seat at the table but a voice in the room.

So I built it.

nice design jobstracks 100+ design-forward companies and surfaces their open design roles in one place. Every listing gets an editorial take on why the role and company are interesting. Company pages show who's already on the design team, which design-focused VCs have invested, and what the company actually does.

It's updated daily, curated by taste not algorithms, and built for designers who care about craft.

  • Design has real influence on product direction
  • Products are built with craft and attention to detail
