What you9ll do:
You9re a design engineer - someone who lives at the intersection of how things look and how they work. You don9t just design screens; you build them. You don9t just write code; you obsess over whether it feels right.
Design and implement features end-to-end - from concept to production.Move fast. We mean it. You9re fluent with AI-powered dev tools (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) and use them to ship at a pace that would be impossible without them.Own the frontend experience - layout, interaction, motion, polish.Work directly with engineering and product, iterate in hours not weeks.Communicate directly. No corporate padding.
Extra pluses
Experience with Figma or similar design tools for rapid prototyping.You care about accessibility.You read fiction, build worlds, or create things for fun.
Requirements
What we care about
Experience helps, but it9s not a gate. If you9ve built and shipped real things - jobs, side projects, experiments - and can walk us through what you built, why you built it that way, what broke, and how you solved it, you9re good for it.
Ownership matters more than pedigree.
Specifically
Strong frontend chops (React, TypeScript, Next.js or similar).Taste. You can look at an interface and immediately feel what9s working and what isn9t - and you know how to fix it. Not pixel-counting, but genuine aesthetic judgment.You can go from a rough idea to a polished, interactive implementation without waiting for a spec.You use AI tools daily to accelerate your work - not as a crutch, but as a multiplier. You know how to prompt, iterate, and ship with them.You understand enough about the backend to be dangerous - APIs, data flow, auth - so nothing blocks you.You9ve built things with motion and interaction that felt good, not just functional.
