WeCode24 is a hacker-style coding movement for high school learners in under-resourced schools.

We’re looking for a mid-level designer to shape the visual identity of WeCode24 — from zines and badges to banners and websites. The work should feel alive, honest, and unmistakably South African.

Responsibilities and duties

• Visual design for communication materials ranging from regular issues of a learning magazine, to physical merch (badges, stickers, t-shirts, etc.), websites, logos, signage, reports, ads, social media and more.
• Design visuals that make coding concepts clear without being boring — instruction meets expression.
• Execute design briefs, taking direction from a creative lead.
• Regularly produce draft designs and present these for review.
• Assist with usability- and user experience testing.
• Manage your time, work to deadlines.

Skills, experience, education

• Diploma in graphic design with 2+ years of solid experience.
• Strong in Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign (Adobe CC Suite).
• Experienced in designing for print and production — prepping files, working with printers.
• Good eye for layout and visual clarity, especially for step-by-step educational content.
• Bonus if you can write clean English copy, or speak Afrikaans and/or Xhosa.
• Even better if you know motion graphics, illustration, video editing, or animation.
• Familiarity with comics, anime, sci-fi, or cyberpunk is a plus.

Qualities and work ethic

• Works well in a flexible, creative, small-team environment.
• Takes feedback constructively, and gives it clearly.
• Detail-oriented — delivers polished work.
• Communicates clearly.
• Reliable and self-managed.
• Keeps the vibe positive and collaborative.

Remuneration

From R16 000 to R24 000 per month, depending on skills and experience.
