Job description

About fonio.ai

We grew from $1M to $10M ARR in under 12 months and now serve 10,000+ customers. Fonio is Europe’s market leader for AI phone agents for SMBs. Now we’re expanding globally and into new products. We move fast, take ownership, give direct feedback, and avoid politics and unnecessary meetings. Join one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies.

Your role

You translate concepts into static ads that stop the scroll and convert. You live in Figma, produce many variants fast, and measure yourself on performance, not aesthetics alone. You work closely with the Creative Strategist (who delivers the angles) and the Creative Director (who signs off).

What to expect

  • You design static ads for Meta, LinkedIn, and other paid channels
  • You produce many variants fast for A/B tests and iteration
  • You turn the Creative Strategist's ad angles into strong visuals
  • You think in stop-scroll, hierarchy, and conversion — not just beautiful design
  • You work data-driven and optimize based on performance

Who we're looking for

  • Demonstrable experience designing high-performing static ads (portfolio required)
  • Figma pro, fast and iterative
  • You understand paid performance and think in CTR/conversion, not just aesthetics
  • Startup pace doesn't scare you - the opposite
  • German at native level + good English

What we offer

  • Competitive salary: €65,000–€90,000
  • Equity - you're building this, so you should own a piece of it.
  • Food & drinks - lunch and dinner are on us at the Vienna office (plus all the drinks you want, and yes, we have protein bars and vitamins too).
  • Relocation bonus if you´re moving to Vienna.
  • Equipment of your choice - whatever makes you happy.
  • Regular team offsites.

Hiring process

  • 15 min intro call
  • 30 min skill interview
  • 20 min culture fit with the founders

Why work at fonio

  • Rapid Growth & Impact: The company is in a phase of hypergrowth (40% MoM), and employees are "still early enough that your work will genuinely shape the culture, the product, and the company." fonio.ai/en/careers
  • Culture: Described as fast, committed, and in-office by default. The team emphasizes moving fast and having fun. Most roles are Vienna-based, with the expectation of being in the office most days.
  • Remote Options: Engineering roles are fully remote (within ±3 hours of CET). For other roles, there is a temporary relocation to Vienna for onboarding (1-3 months), followed by relocation to the target market.
  • Relocation Support: The company sponsors travel and accommodation in Vienna for the onboarding period and offers full relocation support for moving to target markets.
  • Team Size: Around 40-50 people, with plans to double by the end of the year.
  • Hiring Process: A 3-4 step process: 15-minute intro call, 30-45 minute skills interview (sometimes with a case study), potentially a deeper skills or leadership interview, and a final 20-minute culture call with both founders. fonio.ai/en/careers
