Lauten Audio Designer - Multidisciplinary Remote · Full time Company website

Apply for Designer - Multidisciplinary

Founded in 2004 by Brian Loudenslager, Lauten Audio is a small team of inventors, engineers, designers, and artists united by a single belief: microphones should be original, innovative, and purposeful. We build tools to help artists get to the sound they hear in their head, and doing that well requires innovation, dedication, and a genuine love for music. Our microphones are used by artists, producers, and engineers who care deeply about how recordings sound and how their work is presented to the world. Our family of users includes working professionals across genres who trust our designs in their creative process. We're a small, focused team where everyone takes genuine ownership of their work. Our four founding commitments (originality, purpose, musicality, and support) aren't marketing language. They shape every decision we make, including this one.

About Lauten Audio

Based in Northern California and founded in 2004, Lauten Audio is a small team of inventors, engineers, designers, and artists who believe microphones should be original, innovative, and purposeful. Our microphones are trusted by working professionals and artists across genres who care deeply about how recordings sound and how their work is presented to the world. We’re a focused team where everyone takes genuine ownership of their work, and this role is no exception.

The Role

We are looking for a Multidisciplinary Designer to join our brand creative team remotely. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role with real creative ownership. You’ll work directly with our Creative Director to maintain Lauten’s visual identity and to communicate our passion for audio through visual design and storytelling. If design is something you obsess over and plays a role in your life outside of just the work you do, we want to hear from you.

What this role is not

This is not a product design, industrial design, or hardware role. Our microphones are designed by our product team. Your canvas is the brand: the visual identity and the story we tell about our microphones.

This is not an art direction role where you concept and delegate. You'll be in the files. If you're looking to move away from hands-on execution, this probably isn't the right fit.

This is also not a role with a rigid creative brief for every project. You'll need to make good decisions independently, maintain brand standards from the inside, and know when to loop in the Creative Director versus when to just make the call.

What You’ll Be Doing

Design Execution

• Graphic design (infographics, icons, product manuals, web assets, video overlay elements)
• Packaging design (materials, forms, inserts, experience)
• Print and digital advertising materials (including email marketing assets and layout)
• Merchandise design (stickers, apparel, accessories, and everything in between)
• Maintaining brand consistency across all visual touchpoints

Brand Stewardship

• Maintaining and evolving Lauten’s visual standards across all formats
• Making autonomous creative decisions consistent with the brand without constant direction
• Building and maintaining design systems and asset libraries that keep creative output scalable

What We’re Looking For

Required

• Design fundamentals in typography, layout, color, and composition, with a strong design portfolio of finished, shipped work (including personal projects that display your point of view as a designer is highly encouraged)
• Comfort working across formats: print, digital/web, various materials
• Self-directed by nature — you manage your own workload and know what to prioritize
• A genuine connection to music, audio, or recording culture
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop)

Stand Out

• Experience working in-house at a small company or boutique brand with broad creative scope
• Familiarity with Webflow, Shopify, HubSpot, or Klaviyo
• Photo editing experience
• Ability to illustrate, sketch, and draw original ideas
• Social content creation
• Comfort with ambiguity and shifting priorities. We move fast, and direction can change

Compensation & Details

• Compensation: $26.45 – $37.02 depending on experience
• Location: Remote (United States)
• Type: Full-Time
• Reports to: Creative Director

Your work will be visible, your contributions will matter, and you'll have real creative ownership over a brand with a genuine identity. Success in this role is not pushing out work; it is thoughtful design that impacts our culture.

How to Apply

Please submit the following:

• Your resume
• A link to your portfolio
• A brief note in a word document (2 paragraphs max - not a cover letter) about your relationship to music or audio, and how design impacts your life outside of your work.
