Your Impact
We're looking for a highly skilled Design Engineer Lead to join our team. You will work closely with our Product and Engineering teams to shape the end-to-end user experience, crafting intuitive, polished interactions that delight our developer customer base.

- Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering to translate complex AI capabilities into intuitive, developer-friendly experiences.
- Continuously test, learn, and iterate, using feedback and data to refine and improve the user experience.
- Champion design quality and user empathy, shaping both the product and the way we build it.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in product design, user experience (UX) design, and front-end engineering.
- A portfolio showcasing strong design principles and a deep understanding of user-centered design.
- Proficiency in Figma and modern design workflows.
- Fluent in modern front-end tech, including JavaScript, TypeScript, and React.
- Experience with popular frontend tools and libraries (MUI, Emotion, Next.js, and Tailwind, etc).
- Clear communicator who enjoys working across design, product, and engineering.
- Thrive when tackling different projects at once in a dynamic setting.
