- Unwavering Integrity with Purpose: We operate with complete honesty and stay true to our mission. Our work isn't just a job - it's driven by genuine passion and deep alignment with our goals.

- Exceptional Drive & Execution: We combine sharp intellect with relentless execution. Smart thinking alone isn't enough - we pride ourselves on turning great ideas into real results.

We're looking for a Design Engineer-a frontend engineer who thinks like a designer and builds like an engineer. You'll join an early-stage team shaping the UX of a developer-focused platform, where usability and clarity are essential to adoption.
You'll go from idea to prototype to production-sometimes starting in Figma, but often jumping straight into tools like V0.dev or Lovable to explore UI ideas in code. You won't just implement designs-you'll design through implementation, helping define what great looks and feels like.
What You'll Do
- Build beautiful, performant, and accessible UIs using modern tools (React/TypeScript preferred).
- Rapidly prototype ideas with tools like V0.dev, Lovable, or just raw code-skipping mockups when needed.
- Translate complexity into elegant interfaces that make technical workflows feel simple and fast.
- Collaborate closely with founders, product, and engineers on product direction and design decisions.
- Conduct user interviews and gather feedback to continuously improve UX for developer workflows.
- Contribute to (and help shape) our design system and shared UI components from day one.
- Sweat the details-from spacing and animation to API ergonomics and interaction feedback.
- 4+ years of experience building frontend applications, ideally in developer tools or technical products.
- Deep design sensibility, with an eye for layout, interaction, and product ergonomics.
- Comfortable switching between Figma and code-or skipping Figma entirely when prototyping directly.
- Proficiency with modern frontend stack: React, TypeScript, Tailwind/CSS-in-JS, etc.
- Familiarity with AI-assisted UI tools (e.g. V0.dev, Lovable, Cursor, or similar).
- Obsession with user experience-not just what works, but what feels right.
- Bonus: component library experience, open-source work.
- You won't just build features-you'll help invent them, shaping UX from concept to code.
- You'll work with a team that cares about taste, speed, and impact.
- You'll help define the product's visual and interaction DNA-at a time when every detail counts.
- You'll prototype in hours, not weeks, using the latest generation of AI + design tooling.
