99designs is a marketplace connecting businesses with designers. Designers on the platform offer services ranging from logo design all the way through to T-shirt design and book cover design.
Businesses work with designers either via contests (where designers compete to win a lump sum payment by being selected as the best design) or via more traditional 1-to-1 projects.
Over 1 million creative projects have been completed on the platform, and its community of designers have collectively earned over $300m. Cimpress (the owner of Vistaprint) acquired the company in 2020.
Today, many businesses get all their design-work done through 99designs, while some of its designers make a full-time living through the platform.

“99designs opened a large door for me and has helped me realize many of my dreams. I work almost every day. Of course there is a need to work, but I do it mostly out of pleasure.”
“I wouldn’t want to be anywhere that I’m not learning, and feeling challenged, and at 99designs they hit this perfect balance of making you feel supported while pushing you just a bit out of your comfort zone.”
99designs has offices in Melbourne, Oakland, and Berlin. Employees spend some days in the office and some days at home. The product team uses a squad-based agile methodology to get things done.
In this environment, engineers tackle large, complex problems involving significant ambiguity, spanning multiple code-bases and crossing team boundaries to contribute to the technical vision and long term strategy of the team.
Engineers are expected to advocate for a culture of technical excellence and clearly communicate complex ideas using technical design artefacts, tech proposals, tech talks, mentorship, and leading team meetings.
