Design Engineer (Remote)

Design EngineerWe are hiring Design Engineers to own the interface layer of our products end to end.You should be comfortable moving from rough ideas to shipped experiences. Sometimes that means working in Figma. Sometimes it means designing directly in code. We care less about the tool and more about clarity, speed, taste, and judgment.You will work across SaaS products, AI workflows, and internal platform tooling. Everything the user sees and touches is yours.We value people who can operate from principles instead of waiting for detailed specifications. We are looking for builders who think deeply about product, user experience, systems, and execution together.What you will doOwn features at the interface layer from idea to shipped productDesign in Figma when it helps, design in code when it is fasterBuild interfaces and interactions that make it to productionContribute to and extend our cross-product design systemThink through edge cases, empty states, onboarding flows, motion, responsiveness, and usabilityWork closely with engineers to ensure interactions feel intentional and performantImprove product quality through iteration, not just mockupsWhat you needExperience3-5 years building user-facing software across design, frontend, or product-oriented roles.
