Roles & Responsibilities :

- Design and build UI in the same motion - prototyping novel AI-native interactions directly in code rather than in Figma-then-handoff.

- Sit inside a pod (PM + eng lead + you) and take features from concept to shipped, rather than handing off a spec and waiting.

- Own the interaction and motion details - loading/streaming states, transitions, micro-interactions - the polish that's nearly impossible to fully spec in a doc.

- Build and maintain shared UI components so the rest of the org can move fast without reinventing patterns feature by feature.

- Work directly in the production codebase.

- Own the design system - the components, patterns, and code.

- Define how design work becomes a shipped interface for everyone else on the team.

- Set standards and guardrails to ensure code generated with AI tools is production-ready, not bloated.

- Help other designers close the gap between design and frontend-ready code.

Ideal Candidate :

- Strong Product Design Engineer profile combining product design with hands-on frontend coding.

- 2+ years in product design, with strong depth in dense, complex product interfaces (tables, forms, permissions, multi-role flows) built for real users.

- Strong product/visual design judgment along with the ability to ship production-ready frontend code independently.

- Hands-on frontend engineering (React / HTML / CSS / GitHub), able to work directly in a production codebase and write clean, production-ready code.

- Ability to set guardrails and standards so AI tools generate clean, production-ready, accessible code.

- Must share a GitHub profile and a link to a real product prototype designed and coded end-to-end.

- Excellent English communication skills.

- B2B SaaS background or early-stage startup experience.
