HackerRank helps companies like NVIDIA, Amazon, and Microsoft hire and upskill the next generation of developers based on skills, not pedigree. Our platform is trusted by over 2,500 of the world’s most innovative companies to build strong engineering teams ready for what’s next. Software has entered an era where humans and AI build side by side. As this shift accelerates, the definition of strong technical talent is changing. We give companies better ways to identify and invest in next-generation skills.

HackerRank is looking for a Senior Brand Designer to shape how our brand shows up across campaigns, content, events and digital experiences. This is a hybrid role based in Bangalore.

As a senior individual contributor, you will own projects from concept to delivery, work independently and turn ideas into thoughtful, high-quality creative. You will report to the Brand Design Lead and partner with marketing and cross-functional teams to bring work to life across channels.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys moving between strategic thinking and hands-on design, cares deeply about craft and understands how brand design can support business goals and strengthen a larger system.

HackerRank is one of the most recognised brands in developer skills and technical hiring. Today, both the company and the category are undergoing a major transformation.

AI is changing how software is built, how developers work and how companies evaluate technical talent. HackerRank is evolving with this shift, moving beyond traditional perceptions of coding assessments to build a more modern, human and relevant brand for the AI era.

Our brand is becoming more expressive and human-centred. We are building a visual language for a world where everyone can be a builder, AI expands what people can create and human judgement, craft and taste matter more than ever. This is an opportunity to help define HackerRank’s next chapter and shape how the brand is perceived globally.
