Department: Marketing
Employment Type: Contract / Temp
Location: Oxford
Description
Part time (60% FTE) - up to 6 months
Location: Remote
We’re looking for a Digital Graphic Designer who can translate complex, highly technical concepts into clear, visually appealing assets. In this part-time role (approximately 60% FTE over up to 6 months), you’ll help us refine and communicate Diffblue’s story, ensuring our unique technology is accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences.
You will collaborate closely with our Marketing team to create illustrations, infographics, animations, iconography, diagrams, and other brand assets that highlight Diffblue’s core value and capabilities.
About us
Diffblue is changing the way software is developed. Our goal is to empower development teams to be wildly more productive by automating tedious and time-consuming parts of the software development life cycle (SDLC) so that they can focus on building products that people use and love.
Driving velocity, quality, and productivity for Java development teams working on mission-critical applications, our flagship product, Diffblue Cover, leverages generative AI to automate unit test generation 250x faster than a human developer. As a result, software teams can improve code quality, expand test coverage, and increase efficiency so they can ship software faster, more frequently, and with fewer defects. Diffblue’s novel generative AI approach leverages reinforcement learning techniques to avoid the accuracy, security, privacy, and liability concerns associated with LLM-based coding assistants.
Diffblue spun out of the University of Oxford in 2016 and received the largest AI Series A funding in Europe in 2017. We’re backed by the University, our customers and leading venture capital funds. We promote an environment in which we support and learn from each other. We strongly believe that diversity is important for a modern business, and that when different opinions, backgrounds and life views meet, better results are obtained.
