<div><div><p>Sandboxx builds consumer technology that supports service members and their families across the full military life cycle. We operate at national scale, work closely with the Department of War and the broader military ecosystem, and serve millions of users each year. We are looking for driven, curious people who take ownership of their work, move quickly, and want to build products that have real impact for the military community.</p></div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
About Sandboxx</b></h2>
<p>
Sandboxx is the industry-leading platform connecting military recruits with their support system through physical mail, in-app messaging, and a rapidly growing online community. Every week, tens of thousands of recruits send letters that forge unbreakable bonds with family and friends&mdash;and drive thousands of new users into our ecosystem.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>This is a <b>full-time W2, in-office position</b> based in <b>Middleburg, Virginia</b>.</p>
</li>
<li><p>We offer a <b>generous relocation stipend</b> to make your move smooth and stress-free.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Our office is <b>dog-friendly,</b> your four-legged friends are welcome here!</p>
</li>
</ul><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>About the Role</b></h2>
<p>
Our brand lives in every letter a recruit sends, every in-app experience, every marketing campaign, and every pixel in our community.</p>
<p>
You'll be the creative force behind it all&mdash;owning visual storytelling across email graphics, web graphics, presentation decks, layout design, our Figma-based design system and brand guidelines, mockups, and letter templates. Your work will ensure every asset, digital or print, feels unmistakably Sandboxx.</p>
<p>
And this isn't just &quot;make it look pretty.&quot; You'll build and maintain the systems, templates, software, and guidelines that let our small team punch above its weight. Your work will shape how millions of military supporters, new service members and partners experience our brand.</p>
<p>
While we offer the flexibility to hire remote talent for the right fit, we have a strong preference for in-person collaboration at our Middleburg, VA headquarters and offer an enhanced compensation package for candidates willing to be onsite.</p>
