About the job

About the Role

We are seeking a passionate Design Engineer to join our team—a unique role that blends the art of design with the precision of frontend engineering. In this position, you will take initial concepts, refine them using Figma and code, and deliver a seamless, polished user experience from start to finish. While product engineers concentrate on functionality and infrastructure, you will be responsible for enhancing the visual and interactive elements: animations, micro-interactions, loading states, and typography—those crucial details that elevate our product.

Aside from developing user interfaces, you will facilitate collaboration between our design and frontend teams, creating improved tools and workflows while empowering designers to become proficient coders, ensuring that prototypes transition smoothly into production.

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain and elevate the quality of the UI. Identify inconsistencies, suggest enhancements, and implement improvements—often independently, without waiting for directives.

  • Pay meticulous attention to details: transitions, easing curves, skeleton states, empty states, error handling, responsiveness, and accessibility.

  • Collaborate with designers throughout the development cycle—bypassing traditional handoffs to co-create in Figma and code.

  • Design and implement new interfaces from scratch—creating pages, tools, or experiences that may not be central to the product but should feel integrated.

  • Lead the development of minor quality-of-life improvements from concept to production with minimal design input. Conceptualize, build, and launch them swiftly.

  • Step in as a designer when necessary—able to juggle both roles comfortably.

  • Guide designers in becoming effective coders. Establish workflows that enable designer-created prototypes to serve as functional starting points for engineers or AI tools.

  • Develop systems for transitioning prototypes to production: organize designer-generated code for easy integration by engineering teams or AI agents.

  • Translate our Figma design system into our component library, ensuring both remain synchronized.

  • Contribute to and enhance our design system, including tokens, components, patterns, and documentation.

Ideal Candidate

  • You are either a frontend engineer with a keen design sensibility or a designer who produces high-quality code—either background is valuable. Fluency in both areas is essential.

  • You possess robust expertise with modern frontend tools (TypeScript, CI/CD pipelines).

  • You are proficient in Figma and understand core product design principles: layout, typography, color theory, and more.
