Graphics Designer

This is a remote position.

Since its launch in 2021, Re:Earth has expanded its demand, particularly among corporations and government agencies, securing nearly 200 million yen in orders within just six months. Since then, the demand and scale of projects involving Re:Earth have continued to grow rapidly. Initially, the name Re:Earth referred solely to the browser-based visualization tool. However, as we advanced the Re:Earth project, we recognized the need for a more comprehensive web-based GIS ecosystem to facilitate open GIS and open data usage. For instance, alongside the existing Re:Earth (Visualizer), the addition of a high-performance CMS and tools for analyzing and converting large GIS datasets, all available as web-based OSS, could create a brighter future for GIS utilization. We have named this overarching ecosystem vision the "Re:Earth Ecosystem." Currently, the Re:Earth Ecosystem includes: Re:Earth Visualizer: for data visualization. Re:Earth CMS: for data collection, management, and distribution. Re:Earth Marketplace: for publishing, searching, and downloading plugins. However, these components were developed before the establishment of the Re:Earth Ecosystem concept, resulting in a lack of unified design direction. For the Re:Earth Ecosystem to grow into an outstanding platform and continue to provide value and experiences to users and contributors, a strong concept, coherent design, and cohesive visual identity are essential. To drive the future expansion of the Re:Earth Ecosystem and foster value creation through collaboration with users and contributors, we are actively seeking talented graphic designers with a passion for intellectual curiosity. 【Roles and Responsibilities】 ・Brand design and concept development for both service and corporate identity. ・Graphic design for print media and sales promotion materials. ・Graphic design and illustration related to brand identity. ・Design principles and design system development. ・Character design related to the product. ・Understanding and organizing client requirements through communication. 【Required skills】 ・Over 3 Years of Practical Experience in Graphic Design: Candidates should have at least three years of hands-on experience in graphic design, preferably gained at design studios or production companies. ・Experience in Marketing, Branding, and PR for Digital Products: Proven experience in creative aspects related to marketing, branding, and public relations for digital products. 【Welcome Skills】 ・Proficiency in Design Software (e.g., Illustrator, Photoshop): Candidates should be highly skilled in design software such as Illustrator and Photoshop.
