Design Engineer

We're seeking a creative and technically skilled Design Engineer to join our team, combining strong design sensibilities with modern frontend development expertise.

Position Overview : Our ideal candidate bridges the gap between design and development, crafting beautiful, responsive interfaces while maintaining excellent code quality and performance.

Required Skills & Experience :

  • Proven experience building and deploying Next.js applications in production environments
  • Strong proficiency with TailwindCSS and component-based design systems
  • Active personal portfolio showcasing your design and development work
  • Deep understanding of frontend performance optimization and responsive design principles
  • Experience with modern JavaScript / TypeScript development practices
  • Strong eye for design, typography, spacing, and visual hierarchy

Responsibilities :

  • Develop and maintain responsive web applications using Next.js and TailwindCSS
  • Collaborate with designers and backend engineers to implement pixel-perfect interfaces
  • Create reusable component libraries and design systems
  • Optimize application performance and user experience
  • Contribute to technical architecture decisions and best practices
  • Mentor junior developers in frontend development and design principles
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Familiarity with UI / UX design tools (Figma, Adobe XD)
  • Experience with testing frameworks (Jest, React Testing Library)
  • Our Values

    We’re a small team with big dreams - and the culture we create is just as important to us as the product we’re building.

    Growth Oriented : We invest in people and growth as the company grows.

    Humility : Everyone has a lot to give and a lot to learn. Egos are not allowed.

    Customer Focused : We love our customers. We make decisions by focusing relentlessly on them - and accept if this means changing our ideas. Customer success is our success.

    Intellectual Honesty : We believe in creating an environment where the best ideas win and acknowledging when we are wrong.

    Hack to Success : We move fast and take big swings. We always aim for a solution that addresses 80% of the problem in 20% of the time. We make educated bets, launch MVPs, and iterate.

    Having Fun : Be unapologetically you! We love our game nights, ping pong tournaments, and cow jokes (the CEO knows over 100 of them and TechCrunch made fun of him for it).
