Job Description
About ZBiotics
At ZBiotics, we make genetically engineered probiotics that improve daily life. As a group of motivated, yet down-to-earth people, we are fueled by two things: a love for science and a commitment to being people-first. GMO products like ours, built to create benefits for people in their daily lives, are the future. As the first to market, we believe it's our duty to set a high bar for product quality, safety, and transparency for others to follow.
In 201+, ZBiotics launched Pre-Alcohol, the world’s first genetically engineered probiotic designed to break down the ******* byproduct that leads to rough mornings after drinking. In 2026, we launched a genetically engineered probiotic drink mix, Sugar-to-Fiber, that creates fiber from the food you eat. This revolutionary product helps to improve the diversity of gut bacteria and overall gut health.
With a full line of genetically engineered probiotics in development, our team is growing. We’re looking for people as excited as we are to build this new category of consumer products. ZBiotics is headquartered in San Francisco, and backed by venture investors including Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures, and Social+Capital, among others.
About the Role
You will report to ZBiotics’ Marketing Creative Director as the second full-time Graphic Designer, focusing on executing the day-to-day creative needs of the Marketing team. Your work will center on some of the most exciting aspects of the business, including supporting Pre-Alcohol’s expansion into brick-and-mortar retail and creating digital assets (ads, email designs, landing pages, social media) for our newly launched product, Sugar-to-Fiber. Additionally, you will play a pivotal role in visually conceptualizing new product ideas, collaborating with the product development team to help bring innovative concepts to life and gather market feedback—putting you at the forefront of shaping what’s next at ZBiotics.
This role is truly multidisciplinary, calling on expertise not only in digital graphic design but also in areas like 3D modeling, print, packaging, and illustration. Depending on your skills and interests, you may also contribute to motion animation, video, and other creative projects as needed.
By Month 3: You are fully onboarded, have a deep understanding of the brand, and are consistently delivering high-quality designs with minimal revisions.
By Month 6: You have taken ownership of all iterative creative assets in your areas, become a trusted cross-functional design partner, and are the go-to resource for asset production across retail, Sugar-to-Fiber, and new product development.
By Year 1: You have defined and documented a visual language that unites our retail efforts with our online presence and that balances Sugar-to-Fiber’s unique identity with overall brand cohesion.
The Impact You’ll Have
As Graphic Designer, you will have the unique challenge of making a product steeped in science and innovative technology accessible to a consumer audience using visual language. This is a hands-on design role that will collaborate with external creators and a tight-knit internal Marketing team with a wide variety of creative needs.
