Traveler-Friendly Insight

Remote-Friendly with a Nomad Perk Built In

This role is fully remote and explicitly tagged #LI-Remote, based out of Australia or New Zealand. The standout nomad-friendly benefit is Envato's policy allowing employees to work from another remote location for up to 3 months per year — a rare, structured perk that legitimises international travel while employed.

Timezone Considerations: With the team anchored in AU/NZ (AEST/NZST), expect some overlap requirements with colleagues in UTC+8 to UTC+13. This limits pure async freedom — nomads in Europe (Lisbon, Berlin) or the Americas (Medellín, Mexico City) would face significant timezone gaps and likely need to shift their schedules considerably.

Best-fit nomad bases for the 3-month travel window:

  • Bali, Indonesia (UTC+8) — Strong timezone overlap with AU/NZ, thriving creative/tech nomad scene, low cost of living (~$1,200–1,800/month).
  • Chiang Mai, Thailand (UTC+7) — Reasonable overlap, excellent coworking infrastructure, very low cost (~$1,000–1,500/month).
  • Tokyo, Japan (UTC+9) — Nearly identical timezone, strong creative culture, moderate cost (~$2,500–3,500/month).

No salary is disclosed, but Envato is a well-established company (now under Shutterstock). The home office budget and learning budget are practical perks for a remote setup. No explicit coworking allowance is mentioned.

Designed by creative professionals, for creative professionals

Envato is an all-in-one creative asset toolkit built to help creative professionals thrive. We bring together world-class creative assets and AI tools to help creatives find what they need, explore ideas, refine their work and keep their creative momentum going.

And that makes designing Envato a little different.

Our customers are designers, filmmakers, editors and creators. And so are we. We use the same kinds of tools, wrestle with the same creative problems and care about the same details as the people we're building for. That means we're designing for people with great taste, strong opinions and a very high bar for the tools they use.

So we're looking for a Product Designer with that same bar.

We care more about the work you can show and the judgement behind it, rather than how many years you've been a Product Designer or what your title is on your resume. We want someone with a visual point of view about what good looks like and the product thinking to know when, where and why to apply it.

The role: You'll help shape what Envato actually feels like to use

You'll work on Envato's core app, helping creative professionals find, generate and refine assets for their projects. You'll get to take ideas from messy early thinking through to beautifully resolved experiences in the hands of our customers.

You'll help shape creative workflows that get people to professional results. That could mean helping someone adapt stock video or graphics with AI, keep characters and visual styles consistent across generated shots, or sequence video clips to see how a story comes together.

You'll make those capabilities easy to discover and use, connecting them around what someone is trying to create. The goal is to help people see what's possible, guide the result towards what they had in mind, and get to something they can actually use without unnecessary complexity.

  • Prototype ideas quickly using Figma, code, motion and AI-assisted tools to turn ideas into something people can actually experience.
  • Work closely with Product and Engineering to influence what we build, not just what it looks like after decisions have already been made.
  • Help evolve Envato's visual language inside the product, working with the Product Visual Lead and other designers to create experiences that feel distinctly Envato.
  • Work alongside engineers through implementation, writing code and resolving visual and interaction details so the experience holds up in the product.

What we're actually looking for: Taste. Craft. Curiosity. Product sense.

  • You make beautiful things, but you're not designing art for art's sake — you understand this is a commercial product used by real people trying to get real work done.
  • You understand UX fundamentals: you know when something needs to be beautiful, when it needs to disappear into the background, and when clarity beats cleverness.
  • You can show work where the details matter: typography, composition, hierarchy, motion and interaction — and explain why you made something the way you did.
  • You're interested in new creative technology and are already experimenting with AI, prototyping, design-to-code or whatever new tool helps you move faster and explore further.
  • You like sharing unfinished work, can take on feedback without losing interesting ideas, and can work with engineers and product people without needing everything translated into a perfectly formed design brief.

Want to apply? Show us your creativity.

If you're creatively obsessed, care deeply about craft and want to help shape the tools creative professionals use to do their best work, we'd love to hear from you.

To apply, please send us something you've built using AI, and something that shows your visual craft. They can be the same project. Product work, client work and independent experiments are all welcome.

Add a few lines about your contribution, the tools you used and the details you sweated.

No need to send us a full portfolio and resume if you don't have one ready to go, but we do want to see your creativity in motion.
