Design Engineer

Sit between design and engineering: prototype fast, build components properly, keep the system honest.

  • Design
  • Remote (US)
  • Full-time

01 — The role

What the job is.

You will be the person who turns a Figma file into something real in an afternoon, and then makes sure the version that ships is the accessible one. Half design, half front-end, entirely practical.

02 — Responsibilities

What you would own.

  • Build and maintain design-system components in production code.
  • Prototype interactions in the browser so decisions are made against something real.
  • Own accessibility implementation: semantics, focus, reduced motion, contrast.
  • Pair with designers on interaction detail and with engineers on performance.
  • Keep the gap between the Figma library and the shipped components at zero.

03 — Requirements

Skills, qualifications
and experience.

Skills

  • Semantic HTML, modern CSS, TypeScript and a component framework
  • Design tokens and theming
  • Accessibility engineering, including assistive-technology testing
  • Performance: bundle size, rendering cost, Core Web Vitals

Qualifications

  • A portfolio with working things in it, not only pictures
  • The judgement to know when a component is over-engineered

Experience

  • Four or more years building front-end for complex products
  • Having owned a component library or design system

04 — Compensation

What we pay.

Base salary $170,000 – $225,000 USD per year, plus annual bonus and equity. The range reflects the level we are hiring at; the offer depends on experience.

Benefits

  • Equity in the firm from the first day
  • Medical, dental and vision cover for you and your dependants
  • Twenty weeks of parental leave
  • Twenty-five days of paid leave, plus public holidays
  • A $3,000 annual learning budget, with no approval process
