Job Description

Job Description

Location: New York City, NY (in-person, 5 days a week)

Compensation: $200,000 - $280,000 base, plus meaningful equity

Join a fast-growing cloud infrastructure platform as a Design Engineer, owning the craft and feel of the product end-to-end, from information architecture through implementation.

What You'll Own

- Own design and front-end implementation of core product flows end-to-end

- Lead a full rebrand rollout across the website and product

- Define information architecture and design the platform's main create and monitoring flows

- Work directly with the design lead to align on design sense, then go above and beyond it

- Loop into in-flight work streams, give design feedback, and progressively take on owned projects

- Talk to customers directly and bring product intuition to what gets built

- Work in two-week project cycles with full autonomy to propose and drive your own work

What You'll Bring

- 5+ years of design or micro-interaction engineering experience

- A strong portfolio demonstrating craft and curiosity

- Comfort and excitement implementing designs in code, not just creating them in Figma

- Deep Figma fluency with fast iteration ability

- An AI-native approach to design, excited to use AI to move faster without being blocked by engineering

- Low ego and strong collaborative instincts

- A genuine interest in dev tooling and cloud infrastructure

- Based in or willing to relocate to New York City

Nice to Have

- Background at a developer tooling company with a strong design engineering culture

- Experience with information architecture and complex product systems

- Prior experience shipping micro-interactions in production

This is not a handoff role. You design it, you implement it, you own it, with full autonomy to shape the look, feel, and information architecture of a fast-growing developer platform.
