Responsibilities

Own the core product experience end-to-end: interaction design, polish, performance, and stability

Move fluidly from concept → Figma/Cursor → browser prototype → production, often in the same day

Design and build motion-rich, responsive interfaces with expert-level CSS and deep attention to how things feel

Architect front-end state that scales — balancing local, global, and server state across complex, real-time interactions

Shape how people work with software in the age of agents — you'll define new patterns, not just implement existing ones

Collaborate directly with the CEO to translate ambiguous product ideas into shipped features

Build and evolve our design system through hands-on prototyping and experimentation

Use AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) as force multipliers to move faster and push quality higher

Required

Proven experience as a design engineer or front-end engineer with strong design ownership — demonstrated through shipped, production-quality work

Demonstrated ability to take ambiguous ideas and turn them into clear interaction models and polished experiences

Strong command of front-end state management — how to structure, scope, and evolve state as complexity grows

Comfort working between Figma, Cursor/Claude Code and the browser as primary tools for exploration

High personal bar for quality, clarity, and correctness
