Design Engineer

We Start Where Others Stop

For 50 years, abstractions around compute have followed an irreversible law: systems must handle complexity so humans don’t have to. We stopped writing assembly code. We abandoned physical servers. And yet, engineers still waste 30% of their time managing infrastructure—debugging YAML files, tweaking scaling policies, patching Kubernetes clusters.

Infrastructure remains stubbornly complex. The systems we rely on to keep software running are still deeply manual, brittle, and expensive to maintain. But a paradigm shift is now possible. 

When maintenance disappears, builders can finally build.

We’re looking for a design engineer to bridge design and engineering, shaping high-performance, delightful, and technically crafted user experiences. You’ll play a key role in shaping entirely new interaction paradigms for understanding and controlling infrastructure.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain a robust, scalable design system in both Figma and code (React, Tailwind etc.)
• Create exceptional, pixel perfect experiences using CSS.
• Work closely with design and engineering to bring new features to life, from early concept to polished implementation.
• Contribute to our product’s core architecture and front-end best practices.
• Help invent new interaction patterns for AI-driven tools.

Who you are

• Highly proficient in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind, with a strong grasp of modern frontend architecture, state management patterns, and performance optimization.
• Strong visual and interaction instincts—you care deeply about detail, motion, and making interfaces feel precise, responsive, and intentional.
• A fast, flexible prototyper who is equally comfortable exploring ideas in Figma, code, or AI tools, depending on what gets you to signal fastest.
• Hands-on with CSS animation, transitions, and layout techniques—skilled at crafting interfaces that move and respond with clarity and intent.
• A strong portfolio showcasing high-quality front-end development work.
• Comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment. You are quick to iterate, test ideas, and push toward outcomes.

Bonus

• GSAP
• R3F, Three.js, WebGL
• Infrastructure knowledge
