📋 Description

• Join us as a Design Engineer and help shape how rready looks, feels, and behaves as we scale our AI-native B2B SaaS platform. • You’ll work at the intersection of design and frontend engineering, owning user-facing experiences from early concept to polished, production-ready interfaces. • You decode, build real UI components, and ship them into production so users experience interfaces that are intuitive, accessible, and delightful. • Design and implement user-facing interfaces end-to-end, from idea to production. • Ship production frontend code, not just prototypes or experiments. • Build scalable UI foundations through reusable components, design systems, and continuous refinement. • Ensure consistency, usability, and high visual and interaction quality across the product. • Design and build production-ready frontend components and interfaces. • Help maintain clean, scalable frontend architecture.

🎯 Requirements

• User- and experience-driven: You care deeply about great user experience. You know that clarity, usability, accessibility, and performance are just as important as visual polish. • End-to-end ownership mindset: You take responsibility for what ships from early ideas and interaction design to production-ready frontend code. You don’t throw designs over the fence; you build, refine, and ship them. • Design + frontend hybrid: You’re comfortable both deg interfaces and implementing them in code. Whether you lean more design or more engineering, you enjoy working in the overlap. • Frontend-capable (not design-only): You confidently write and ship production frontend code, review PRs, debug UI issues, and improve existing components and interfaces over time. • Structured & detail-strong: You pay attention to the details that make products feel right: Spacing, states, edge cases, responsiveness, accessibility, and consistency across the system. • Proactive & accountable: You drive topics forward independently, identify UX or UI issues early, and follow through until things are done properly. • Iteration-first mindset: You enjoy experimenting, refining, and improving designs and implementations over time. You value progress and learning over chasing perfection. • Calm in ambiguity: When requirements are fuzzy or problems are not fully defined, you help create clarity through sketches, prototypes, and incremental implementation. • Tool-savvy & craft-oriented: You’re comfortable working with design and frontend tooling (e.g. Figma, component libraries, frontend frameworks) and you care about clean, maintainable UI code. • Strong communicator: You communicate clearly with Designers, Product Managers, and Engineers, and help align intent, constraints, and outcomes through transparent collaboration. • Experience working as a Design Engineer, Frontend Engineer with strong design skills, or Product Designer who codes. • Strong experience with modern frontend development (e.g. TypeScript, Vue.js or similar frameworks). • Solid understanding of UI/UX principles, interaction design, and accessibility. • Experience building or contributing to design systems and reusable component libraries. • Comfort translating product and detent directly into production-ready UI. • Experience collaborating closely with Product and Engineering in cross-functional teams. • Experience in fast-paced environments (startup, scale-up, or product-driven teams) is a plus. • Strong interest in continuous improvement. You enjoy making interfaces clearer, more usable, and easier to build over time.
