Design Engineer
About Yara
Yara is building the future of finding work. Most hiring tools are stuck in the 90s and AI is making it worse, not better. More spam, more noise, more generic outreach that wastes everyone's time. We're reworking how people find their next role with one profile that actually shows your work, smart matching that puts you in front of the right companies, and a real person on the other side who cares about getting it right.
We work with companies across AI, developer tools, consumer, fintech, and health tech, ranging from teams that have raised $1B+ with 3,000+ employees to earlier stage companies at $50M+ with 100+ employees. We've helped talent from Google, Apple, Palantir, Uber, and Ramp connect with companies like Vercel, Paraform, Abridge, and Parallel.
About the role
The rarest profile companies in the Yara Network ask for: engineers with real design taste, or designers who ship production code. You'll own information architecture, micro-interactions, and frontend polish on technical products, working in React and TypeScript daily with a designer's eye. This is a Yara Network Application. Apply once and get matched across our partner companies.
Who this is for
- You live in the overlap. You could hold a frontend job or a design job, and you've done both.
- Your portfolio is live and it moves: polish you built yourself in production React.
- You've worked on dense technical products: dev tools, infrastructure UI, B2B SaaS.
- You sweat details other people don't notice, and you ship anyway.
- Handoff isn't in your vocabulary. You design it, then you build it.
Requirements
- 2+ years as a design engineer, frontend engineer with design ownership, or designer who codes
- Production React and TypeScript with CSS mastery
- Motion and micro-interaction implementation
- Figma fluency and information architecture chops
- A live portfolio or product link where reviewers can feel the craft
