Design Engineer

What You’ll Do

• Build and ship high-quality UI features end-to-end, from early prototypes to production-ready implementations
• Turn internal and external user needs to clear design intent and accessible, responsive interfaces
• Create and maintain reusable UI components and patterns to improve consistency and development speed
• Implement interaction design details (motion, micro-interactions, states, empty/loading/error experiences) with a high bar for craft
• Collaborate with backend engineers to integrate APIs and ensure performant, reliable user experiences
• Contribute to design systems, documentation, and tooling that improve the product development workflow
• Participate in product discovery by rapidly iterating on prototypes and validating ideas with stakeholders

What We’re Looking For

• 1–5 years of experience building user-facing web products (or equivalent project/portfolio experience)
• Strong front-end fundamentals: semantic HTML, modern CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript
• Experience with modern UI frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, Svelte) and component-driven development
• A design-forward mindset: you care about typography, layout, interaction, and visual polish
• Ability to work from ambiguous requirements and iterate quickly with AI and cross-functional partners
• Comfort giving and receiving feedback, and using it to improve both design and implementation
• A portfolio or examples of work that demonstrate both UI craft and engineering execution

Bonus Points

• Experience with physics simulations or design systems (building or scaling component libraries)
• Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG) and inclusive design practices
• Knowledge of performance best practices (rendering, bundle size, perceived performance)
• Experience collaborating in Figma and translating design tokens/specs into code
• Interest in AI products and designing interfaces for complex workflows
