Design Engineer (Product Designer)

What you’ll do

  • Own end-to-end product design for core agent experiences - from problem framing and flows to polished UI.
  • Partner with founders, research, and engineering to translate user needs into clear product concepts and interaction patterns.
  • Run rapid user research (interviews, usability tests, telemetry reads) and turn insights into iterations.
  • Apply design thinking to simplify complex, multi-step workflows into elegant, learnable experiences.
  • Build high-fidelity prototypes (Figma; bonus if you can prototype in code, e.g. React/TypeScript, SwiftUI) to validate behavior and performance.
  • Establish design systems (tokens, components, motion) that scale across desktop apps and web surfaces.
  • Champion craft and accessibility while shipping quickly - tight feedback loops, lots of iteration.

You might be a fit if

  • BA/BS in Design, HCI, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Strong portfolio showcasing shipped product work and systems thinking (please include case studies).
  • Hands-on coding ability in front-end frameworks (e.g. React/TypeScript, SwiftUI) - you can prototype in code and collaborate seamlessly with engineers.
  • Fluency in visual design, interaction design, and UX research methods.
  • Demonstrated mastery of design thinking to solve ambiguous, complex problems.
  • Excellence in communication and cross-functional collaboration; you’re comfortable driving clarity.
  • Bonus: experience in AI, agent interfaces, or productivity tools; motion/animation design expertise.
