Graphic Design Intern (Summer 2024)

Sleeper is building the leading platform to connect friends over sports. Our mission is to create a digital playground for friends to hang out, play games, chat, send memes to each other, and more!

Our flagship product, fantasy football leagues, serves over 6 million users. We also have chat features, online communities, score tracking, and more! Our team continuously innovates, bringing new games, social features, and extended functionality.

We're on the lookout for individuals with diverse talents; you don't necessarily need to be a sports expert – just be ready to immerse yourself in the space!

About the Design Team

We're a close-knit, fun-loving team of designers committed to creating high-quality and delightful designs.

• We love design. We stay updated with the latest trends and we know good ideas can come from anywhere.
• We believe in teamwork. We don't just work together, we help each other improve and make our ideas better.
• We like to have fun. We're open to trying new hobbies and even playing computer games together for "research" 😉

Our designers share many similar qualities

1. Are enthusiastic about design, and obsess over their craft and creations
2. Are motivated, quick learners, ready to pick up new skills.
3. Enjoy brainstorming creative solutions and exploring different ideas before settling on one
4. Embrace uncertainty and are ready to navigate through complexity and feedback in order to create the best visual design

• Make a direct impact on the product – your work will seen by thousands if not millions of people; assets will be used directly in our app and web products, on popular social media platforms, featured on physical/ digital billboards, or even streamed on TV commercials and partner podcast shows in order to grow our product and user base
• Further the Sleeper brand by adhering to our design principles and visual language, but also push the boundaries when necessary
• Collaborate with other design functions to keep up with trends and evolve the brand over time
• Come up with creative marketing ideas that will blow our users’ minds

Sleeper believes in quality over quantity, and intentionally keeps our team small as a result. In past roles, our team members found it very hard to make a big impact when companies grow too large in size, which has a detrimental effect on the product and the impact any single individual can have. Our team includes designers, engineers, product experts, and finance & operation focused on one thing — connecting people over sports. We believe in fair and equitable pay. Certain locations in the United States require job postings to include a reasonable estimate of the base salary range and/or a general description of benefits and other compensation applicable to the role. For this role in those locations, a reasonable estimate of the base compensation range for new hires is $18 USD to $26 USD per hour. No overtime work allowed, and the internship is 12 weeks. Please note that the compensation range for this role takes into account a wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including, but not limited to, skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs.
