Freelance Software Developer Jobs in Folsom, CA (NOW HIRING)

Job Overview:

Pay Range: $38.30hr - $43.30hr

Requirement/Must Have:

• 1 - 4 years of experience in a creative production, graphic design, or visual communications role — agency, in-house, or freelance.
• Solid command of Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign; working knowledge of After Effects or Premiere is strongly preferred.
• A portfolio that demonstrates design fundamentals: layout, typography, color, hierarchy, and attention to detail.
• Ability to work from a brand system and creative brief, not just from inspiration.
• Strong organizational habits and the ability to manage multiple concurrent tasks without dropping quality.
• Clear communication skills and comfort asking clarifying questions.

Responsibilities:

• Produce and adapt creative assets for digital campaigns, including display ads, social graphics, email headers, landing page visuals, and event materials.
• Resize, reformat, and version campaign deliverables across platforms and specs, maintaining visual consistency and brand Client throughout.
• Build simple motion graphics and animated assets for social and digital channels using tools such as Adobe After Effects or equivalent.
• Support the production of video content — asset preparation, lower thirds, graphic overlays, and export formatting — in coordination with senior team members.
• Maintain organized file structures, asset libraries, and version control so the team can find and use deliverables without friction.
• Apply brand standards accurately and consistently across all work, including typography, color, logo usage, and design system components.
• Assist in the production of brand presentations, event collateral, and printed or digital sales-support materials.
• Support the preparation of creative deliverables for agency review or handoff, including packaging files and providing production notes.
• Flag inconsistencies or ambiguities in creative briefs early, and actively participate in team reviews and feedback cycles.
• Work closely with the Creative Production Lead to prioritize and sequence incoming requests and manage delivery timelines.
• Communicate clearly on project status, blockers, and timelines — proactively, not reactively.
• Coordinate with writers, campaign managers, and other stakeholders to gather assets, copy, and direction needed to complete work.
• Contribute to an environment where quality is the default and iteration is welcomed.

Nice to Have:

• Experience in B2B tech, semiconductor, enterprise software, or a similarly complex or technical industry.
• Motion graphics experience beyond basic animation.
• Familiarity with Figma or other collaborative design tools for handoff and review workflows.
• Basic video editing capabilities.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving team where priorities can shift.
