Pixel One is a design partner to some of the most ambitious teams in B2B SaaS, AI, and future-defining enterprise technology. We work with clients like Google, Hublot, Range Rover and more. We help them turn complex products into clear, compelling experiences.

We’re seeking an elite freelance illustrator to craft striking, concept-driven work that helps top B2B SaaS companies communicate with clarity, depth, and character.

This is a rare opportunity to do career-defining work alongside a tight-knit, driven team. Our mission is to become the world’s leading design studio for B2B SaaS, and we’ve built a reputation for excellence by challenging assumptions, pushing our ideas, and developing a visual language that balances aesthetic craft with strategic clarity.

Pixel One has weathered every major industry downturn, from the VC winter to COVID layoffs, and not only survived but grown 100% year-over-year, with this year on track to be our biggest yet. That stability comes from staying ahead of the curve: we’ve been working on AI agent interfaces since 2016, long before they were mainstream.

If you admire, enjoy, and truly connect with the craft of B2B SaaS design, this is the kind of work that feels energizing, meaningful, and creatively fulfilling. You’ll be supported by a studio that invests in your growth, values your voice, and believes that exceptional design can move entire industries forward.

Ensure seamless handoff to design and production teams

Qualifications

5+ years of professional experience as an illustrator within product, tech, or enterprise design environments.
A portfolio centered on B2B SaaS illustration, showcasing clarity, conceptual thinking, and strong storytelling for complex products.
Demonstrated strength working on spot illustrations and product-centric visual systems.
Expert-level proficiency in Figma, plus Illustrator, Photoshop, and Procreate.
A strong sense of craft, with the ability to create work that feels thoughtful, intentional, and aligned with a brand’s strategy and tone.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, including prompt Slack communication, comfort in scheduled meetings, and reliable async organization in Notion.

Benefits

🗂️ Organized: You’ll have clarity on what is expected of you, what you need to succeed in your role and grow beyond it.

✈️ Remote: We’re relatively distributed (all mostly from Canada) and let you work from home as long as you cover PT and EST working hours.

📚 Learning and growth: As a freelancer, you’ll get access to world class creatives that have shaped direction and design for products that have grown to be category defining such as Apollo.io, Google (drone delivery), Deliverr (B2B2C e-commerce) and more.

🤝 Work: You work closely with an elite peer group and directly with CEOs, Founders and other executives that drive revolutionary companies. If you’ve ever thought of creating your own company or love the variety of working with multiple different products, you’ll be right at home.

🧑🏽‍🎨 Cross-disciplinary opportunities: Whether you’re joining the visual design team or the product design team, you’ll get the chance to collaborate with experts in various other fields to help you elevate your craft and discover more opportunities for delight (Motion, 3d artists, illustrations, etc).

👏🏽 Team: the team is one of the best in the world. Everyone is very talented in what they do but more importantly knows how to play within a team.

We’re growing fast even while the industry slows down and we’re doing it the right way: by hiring exceptional people who want to do the best work of their lives.
