About the role
We're looking for a Design Engineer with 5+ years of experience who sits at the rare intersection of high-fidelity UI design and production-level frontend engineering. You should be comfortable owning the full product experience end-to-end — from customer discovery and wireframes all the way to shipping React + TypeScript code — without relying on handoffs. Bonus points if you've worked at an early-stage startup, designed for AI-native or B2B enterprise workflows, or built a design system from scratch.
Responsibilities
- Own the full design lifecycle — user research, wireframes, high-fidelity Figma designs, and production UI — without handing off to another engineer
- Build and ship frontend code in React + TypeScript, implementing interactions, responsiveness, and edge cases yourself
- Establish and evolve a design system and component library from the ground up
- Join customer calls regularly to develop deep empathy for enterprise user workflows and translate that into intuitive, AI-native interfaces
- Prototype ideas directly in code to validate interactions quickly, not just in Figma
- Collaborate with backend engineers to define API contracts and integrate frontend UI with backend systems
- Work directly with the founders on product direction, prioritization, and design quality standards
- Iterate fast — ship something solid, get feedback, and improve it; this is not a role for lengthy research cycles
