We are looking for a Technical Illustrator to join our team on a part-time or full-time freelance basis.
We offer an opportunity to get deeper into software, programming, and technology as a designer. By working on technical illustrations, you’ll learn to break down complex topics and explain ideas visually. Designing detailed illustrations is a great way to learn, grow, and showcase your insight.
The topics we need to illustrate are very specific and in-depth. We don’t create generic “cryptocurrency” or “AI” articles. Here are some examples of past illustrations we created:
“But I am not an engineer, how will I illustrate these topics?”, you might wonder. Our answer is teamwork. You’ll work together with our talented technical writers on each illustration project. The writer who’s working on the article will help you break down all the technical concepts and come up with illustration ideas. Over time, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of technologies you illustrate and will be able to do more of the work independently.
At Wizard on Demand, we all work remotely and have flexible working hours. As long as you find a suitable time to get feedback from team members working with you and finish your assignments on time, there are no set hours when you have to be online.
Each illustration is a short project that has a clear beginning and end. Once an illustration is done, it’s published and you can move on to the next project. By working on short projects, you can get productive much more quickly than in other jobs, receive specific and actionable feedback, and implement that feedback right away in the following projects.
