- Collaborate closely with product design to refine interaction details
- Partner with design, software, algorithms, and hardware teams to ensure accurate real-time feedback
- Contribute to and help evolve a scalable design system in code
- Participate in feature planning and iteration discussions
Requirements
- 1–4+ years of experience in front-end or mobile development
- Experience building product-facing UI (mobile preferred)
- Familiarity with Rust and/or Python, iOS and/or Android
Qualifications
- Strong attention to detail in spacing, hierarchy, motion, and interaction
- Comfort working in a fast-moving, collaborative environment
- Curiosity about connected devices and how software interfaces with hardware
- Clear communication skills and a willingness to give and receive feedback
Skills
- Portfolio (Required): Please include a portfolio showcasing relevant design work. We’re especially interested in projects that demonstrate strong visual taste, attention to detail, and the ability to translate complex ideas into clear, compelling graphics.
Benefits
