Founding Design Engineer

Key Highlights

• Translate company strategy and user needs into visual language. Concretely, that means product UI and user stories. You turn a go-to-market bet into something people immediately understand.
• Own and evolve the design system. The rules, components, patterns, and principles that allow our engineering team to iterate quickly without sacrificing legibility.
• Author front-end code within reason. Enough to build and maintain the design system in code, prototype your own ideas, and ship polish without waiting in an eng queue. You won't carry a backend load (unless you're interested); we have a full team for that.
• You think in systems. You understand user needs deeply enough to turn them into reusable patterns. The kind that act as a force multiplier on the whole team rather than a one-off fix.
• You can sit with our users and the team, synthesize strategy, and come back with a visual story that makes it land.
