The role

We’re looking for a design engineer to bridge design and engineering, shaping high-performance, delightful, and technically crafted user experiences. You’ll play a key role in shaping entirely new interaction paradigms for understanding and controlling infrastructure.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain a robust, scalable design system in both Figma and code (React, Tailwind etc.)

  • Create exceptional, pixel perfect experiences using CSS.

  • Work closely with design and engineering to bring new features to life, from early concept to polished implementation.

  • Contribute to our product’s core architecture and front-end best practices.

  • Help invent new interaction patterns for AI-driven tools.

 

Who you are

  • Highly proficient in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind, with a strong grasp of modern frontend architecture, state management patterns, and performance optimization.

  • Strong visual and interaction instincts—you care deeply about detail, motion, and making interfaces feel precise, responsive, and intentional.

  • A fast, flexible prototyper who is equally comfortable exploring ideas in Figma, code, or AI tools, depending on what gets you to signal fastest.

  • Hands-on with CSS animation, transitions, and layout techniques—skilled at crafting interfaces that move and respond with clarity and intent.

  • A strong portfolio showcasing high-quality front-end development work.

  • Comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment. You are quick to iterate, test ideas, and push toward outcomes.

 

Bonus

  • GSAP

  • R3F, Three.js, WebGL

  • Infrastructure knowledge

  • Competitive salary and generous equity grants

  • Comprehensive benefits package, including retirement benefits and fully covered health, vision, and dental insurance

  • Unlimited PTO
