- Create and oversee visual assets for marketing campaigns, web experiences, product interfaces, conference materials, presentations, and experiential marketing
- Craft visual narratives that communicate Apollo's story, mission, and value proposition effectively to technical and business audiences
- Collaborate with internal teams and external partners on integrated marketing initiatives, playing a pivotal role in crafting innovative campaigns that address real API pain points
- Stay at the cutting edge of design trends within the developer tools, API, and broader technology space, bringing fresh, opinionated perspectives on brand development that authentically connect with builder culture

With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
