Company mission
To build a better web browser— one that enables people to build their own home on the internet, and arms them with the tools they need to be more focused, organized, and in control.
Role
Who you are
- 8+ years designing, rapid prototyping, and shipping high- craft software iOS or desktop products from 0→1
- Strong visual craft and systems thinking. You care deeply about clarity, cohesion, and the details that make experiences feel effortless
- Experience working in rigorous design environments with tools like Figma, Linear, and Notion, and excitement to prototype with LLMs and shape new AI-powered experiences
- Sharp eye for clarity and craft, with a bias for fast, creative experimentation and learning through iteration
- Clear communicator and structured thinker who can articulate the “why” behind your design decisions, grounds choices in user insights, embraces open dialogue, and help teams align around shared goals
- Our team is based in North American time zones and require that folks have 4+ hours of overlap time with team members in Eastern Time Zone
What the job involves
- As a Design Engineer at The Browser Company, you’ll help shape how Dia looks and feels, elevating its visual craft and motion system into something distinctive, premium, and emotionally resonant.
- We’re a cross-functional team that values real-time collaboration and rapid prototyping, so much of your day-to-day will focus on building, iterating, and shipping work to production that deepens people’s connection to Dia, and increases the joy they feel while using it
- Browsers are our doorway to everything online: where we work, learn, and stay connected to the people we love. But on their own, they don’t help us organize the chaos, stay focused on what matters, or unlock new creative possibilities.
- We believe a browser can do more. It can help people grow, create, and stay curious. That’s why we’re building Dia, a browser that helps people do their best work, and feel more at home on the internet
- Overall you will ship end-to-end design for Dia. Crafting prototypes and shipping high-fidelity visual + motion work that defines how AI-first software should look and behave
- Own the visual and interface craft of key Dia surfaces, elevating what exists through layout, type, motion, color, spacing, and meticulous attention to detail
- Explore novel interaction and motion concepts through rapid prototyping. Share your work early and often, and articulate your intent with clarity
- Partner closely with Engineers and Design Engineers to bring ideas from concept to shipped reality. Collaborate with Product Insights, and partners across the company to inform decisions and understand impact
- Help shape Dia’s cross-platform design direction. Starting with macOS and expanding to Windows and mobile, to create cohesive, intuitive experiences across every surface
- Contribute to team-wide design culture: help evolve our strategy, critique practices, daily drops, and shared norms to continually raise the bar for quality and craft

Our take
Web browsers enable people to access all that they want from the internet. However, this tool is often ignored, and despite all the changes to other software over the years, it has remained relatively unchanged. The Browser Company delivers Arc and Dia - new web browsers designed to be faster as well as more personal, focused and creative than traditional options.
Founded in 2019, The Browser Company sees an opportunity to create a browser that excites. Brand dedication for the more common browsers is limited, as they are designed to act in the background. Instead, The Browser Company wants Arc and Dia to act intelligently, visibly overcoming problems like overwhelming hits, online distraction and information being hidden under irrelevant results.
Its competitors of course include some of the biggest names in tech, but it hopes to stand out with a browser that is dramatically new and more powerful, which will earn its own unique space in the market. Arc was released for mobile and Windows in 2024, followed by the AI-focussed Dia in 2025, and they have so-far been met with positive reviews.

Company benefits
- Choose-Your-Own-Compensation Plan: When we give you a job offer, we’ll actually give you two different offers — one that is focused on having a higher salary and one focused on higher equity. Candidates can choose either offer (or any numbers in-between) when they accept.
- Best in the Biz Insurance: We provide employees with full coverage medical, vision, and dental insurance and a free One Medical membership to help you keep you and your family healthy. We cover 100% of employee plan costs and up to 90% for dependents.
- Napping During the Workday: Some of us are better in the mornings, others are more productive in the afternoon. People should take breaks when they need to. If you’re on our team, we trust you to get your work done — our policy is: work when it makes sense for you!
- Take Time Off, Please!: We believe that people do their best work when they’ve rested and had valuable time off. So rather than having a maximum number of days off, we actually have a recommended minimum vacation of 20 days a year. Take time off when you need it and also just when you feel like it.
- Extremely Flexible Parental Leave: We are proud to offer an extremely flexible 12 weeks of parental leave — for any parent regardless of gender and for birth, adoption, surrogacy, or fostering. Take the 12 weeks all at once, or split up days to slowly transition back to work — we’re accommodating to everyone’s different situations! Birth mothers also qualify for an additional 6 weeks of medical leave.
- Design Your Dream Home Office: We are a remote first company. About half of our team currently lives outside of New York and across 5 different time zones. So if you need some stuff to make working from home a bit easier, we offer a $1000 stipend for anything you need to get comfortable.
- Cozy Office in Brooklyn, Wooo!: If you do happen to live in the New York area (or you want an excuse to visit) you can come into our beautiful office in Williamsburg. Coming into office is entirely optional, some of us come almost every day and some of us come in once a week. No obligation, we just genuinely like each other!
