Design Engineer

As a Design Engineer, you'll bridge the gap between engineering and design—owning the craft of building elegant, high-performance UI and design systems that scale. You'll work across our TypeScript/React frontend and collaborate closely with product and backend engineers to shape the future of how AI teams build products.

We’re a small, smart, and hardworking team operating at the frontier of AI. Our customers demand world-class performance, reliability, and usability, and we aim to set the standard for intuitive design that enables product leaders and non-technical subject matter experts to collaborate effectively with developers.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Designing and building high-quality, reusable UI components and design systems that scale.

• Crafting seamless, beautiful user experiences that make complex AI workflows intuitive.

• Bringing designs to life with polished, accessible, and performant front-end code.

• Making strong calls on when to build in-house solutions versus leveraging existing tools.

• Owning the end-to-end implementation of features that balance usability, aesthetics, and engineering efficiency.

• Advocating for best practices in design, accessibility, and front-end architecture.

• Engaging with users to understand their needs, ensuring the product is both functional and delightful.

• You have a deep appreciation for great design and care about the finer details of UI/UX.

• You are equally comfortable designing interfaces and implementing them in code.

• You understand systems thinking and have experience building scalable design systems.

• You are capable in Figma

• You have strong frontend engineering skills in TypeScript, React, and TailwindCSS (or equivalent modern stacks).

• You are excited by AI and its potential, and want to shape the way teams interact with it.

• You hold yourself and others to a high bar, striving for elegance and simplicity in design and code.

• You thrive in a fast-moving startup environment and want to have real impact.

• You communicate clearly, collaborate well, and enjoy engaging with users to improve the product.

We aim for a modern, pragmatic stack that optimizes for speed and developer happiness:

• Frontend: TypeScript, React, Next.js, TailwindCSS, Radix UI

• Backend: FastAPI (Python), Postgres

• Infrastructure: AWS

This role is primarily for San Francisco.

If London is a more suitable location for you that can be arranged. We work in our HQ in SoMa, with flexibility as needed.
