Design Engineer

About the company

Our client is a fast-growing software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Blend product design with front-end engineering, carrying user-facing features from early concept through production release. Partner directly with company leadership and end users to convert feedback into polished experiences for people without a technical background.

What you'll do

- Design and build production interfaces for complex, multi-step workflows so they feel simple to people without technical training.

- Join customer calls, collect usability requests first-hand and turn them into shipped improvements.

- Own new product flows from zero to one, from first concept through launch.

- Work side by side with the founders and a small team where design capacity is a key constraint.

- Produce designs in a design tool and, where possible, commit code changes directly to the codebase.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- Prior startup experience, either as a founder or as an early design engineer.

- Comfort working with TypeScript and React, along with HTML and CSS.

- Sound taste in interface and product design, grounded in a software engineering background.

- A track record of taking whole products from idea to launch.

- A portfolio showing work you personally conceived, built and released.

- Ability to work on-site five days a week.

Bonus points

- Hands-on experience committing changes to a production codebase.

- Top university background.
