At Ocular AI, we’re passionate about blurring the lines between design and engineering, with an obsessive focus on craftsmanship. We believe ideation, design, and implementation should be seamlessly intertwined to create exceptional user experiences and products that delight. We draw a TON of inspiration from design-focused teams such as Vercel, Linear, Resend.
We’re seeking an experienced Design Engineer (designer who codes or engineer who designs) with a refined aesthetic to help transform our website, product, and brand. In this role, you’ll take full creative ownership, using your broad design skills and technical expertise to craft high-quality interactions, prototypes, and experiences. Code, like Figma, is a tool in your arsenal to solve design challenges and bring bold ideas to life.
This is a high-agency, high-impact role in an early-stage startup, reporting directly to the founders. You’ll have the freedom to experiment, lead design-driven projects, and shape the future of our brand and products.
If you’re someone who thrives in ambiguous environments, loves experimenting, and is excited by the fusion of creativity and development, this is the perfect opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
