Graphic Designer in Chicago

Join the Chicago Design team and shape how CoinUnited looks and feels everywhere people meet us, from a single social post to the trading screens our users rely on. We have been building since 2018, and our work has to carry the trust of people putting real money into global markets around the clock. This is a hands-on craft role with ownership over the brand.

This role is based in our Chicago office and forms part of our operations across Americas. You will work to Chicago market hours and support the international order flow connected to the USA market. Chicago is one of our market facing offices, close to the trading flow that runs across Americas at every hour.
