About Bretton AI
Bretton AI is the leading AI agent platform for financial services. Companies like Robinhood, Mercury, and Gusto trust us to automate mission-critical work, starting with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing investigations.
We've raised over $95M from Greylock, Y Combinator, Thomson Reuters Ventures, and other top-tier investors. We're based in downtown San Francisco and our team comes from world-class organizations like SpaceX, Google, Netflix, Stripe, Plaid, and more.
About the Role
Every pixel we ship has to earn their trust. That means making sophisticated automation feel legible, making audit trails obvious, and making reviewers faster without ever making them guess what the agent just did.
This is Bretton's first Design Engineer hire.
You'll own the production layer of the product's interface and serve as the guardian of the design system in code, building the components and patterns the rest of the product is built on, and holding the line on performance, accessibility, and reliability as our product scales. You'll partner closely with our product designer on overall direction, build on insights from research, and work with the engineering team to translate that work into front-end code that's ready to ship. The bar: code that holds up at scale and interfaces that feel considered down to the last interaction.
We start by understanding the problem before reaching for a tool.
AI and self-serve research are default parts of the workflow, not side experiments. The toolkit is whatever moves the work forward: LLMs for thinking through intent and constraints, Cursor and Claude Code for building, Figma when the design system needs attention. We're looking for someone with the instincts of a designer, the rigor of a front-end engineer, and a working relationship with AI that goes beyond the prompt box.
