Senior Graphic Designer
The NBA, NBPA, and Dapper Labs have teamed up to create NBA Top Shot, a revolutionary new experience in which jaw-dropping plays and unforgettable highlights become collectibles that you can own forever. NBA Top Shot is a first-of-its-kind officially-licensed NBA experience. NBA fans can truly own a piece of the action and trade with friends for real money in a new kind of hoops economy. NBA Top Shot launched in Beta 3 months ago and has since seen accelerated growth, crossing the $15M+ milestone for all-time sales on NBA Top Shot—$8M last week alone.
We’re hiring a full-time Senior Graphic Designer to join NBA Top Shot’s in-house Creative team.

Our workplace is diverse, collaborative, and fast-paced. As a member of the team, you’ll have ownership over your designs, get regular feedback to help you improve, and enjoy the freedom to champion new and fresh ideas.
At Dapper, you’ll work on highly visible portfolio pieces, collaborate with team members across a multitude of disciplines, and defy the limits of what audiences can expect from our products each day.
