Design Engineer, Artificial

• You’ve worked across roles as a designer/frontend engineer for 8+ years. We appreciate that every design engineer has a different "T-shape", so you don't need to have been a "design engineer" for the whole of your career, but you do need to have held both roles in a meaningful way
• You thrive in a scale-up environment, where you'll have significant autonomy but must balance multiple priorities and customer needs
• You're proficient in modern JavaScript/TypeScript and React. While you won't be expected to lead frontend engineering, you can contribute to production-quality experiences and understand how design choices impact frontend engineering feasibility, performance and maintainability
• You excel at advocating for your ideas—both verbally and in writing—while remaining receptive to feedback and adapting your approach to ship effective solutions

Desirable

• Lead discovery and shaping phases: uncover customer problems and identify high-level solutions in collaboration with customers and internal stakeholders
• Build working prototypes using React, our existing codebase, and sometimes Figma
• Adapt existing components to create UX flows and high-fidelity visuals
• Own design direction on cross-functional Bet teams. You’ll be responsible for the quality of the end-user experience and finding elegant design solutions to complex problems
• Improve product usability and performance through iterative improvements (often in collaboration with other teams)
• Expand our React-based design system (of components and primitives) using Storybook
• Participate in weekly design critiques and ad-hoc design pairing sessions with other team members
• Help champion the role of design across the business
• We use an adapted Shape Up methodology, alternating between major new feature development ("Bets") and ongoing iterative improvements
