As a

Design Engineer , you will own

how users experience complex AI systems , defining both the UX and the implementation in modern frontend technologies. You’ll be the bridge between cutting‑edge research and highly polished, intuitive interfaces that financial professionals can trust.

What you’ll do:

Own the end-to-end user experience

for core products, from early prototypes to polished, production‑ready interfaces.

Build high‑quality, interactive frontends

using React, TypeScript, and Tailwind, making complex AI systems feel intuitive and trustworthy.

Collaborate closely with researchers, PMs, and engineers

to translate novel AI capabilities into clear and actionable workflows for users.

Define and maintain the design system and component library , ensuring consistency, performance, and visual quality across all products.

Run rapid experiments, gather user feedback, and iterate quickly , shaping product decisions with real‑world data and insights.

Make strategic technical choices— refactoring or redesigning frontend architectures when it improves quality, speed, or maintainability .

Have built

high‑performance, polished web applications end‑to‑end , ideally in complex or data‑heavy domains.

Are an expert in

modern frontend technologies

(TypeScript, React, Tailwind, Next.js) and can translate high‑level product concepts into production‑ready interfaces.

Can make

non‑trivial backend changes

(Node.js or Python) and implement small services when needed to support product features end‑to‑end.

Are skilled in at least

one statically typed language , care deeply about type safety across UI and APIs, and make technology choices with an eye toward maintainability and long‑term quality.

Have deployed frontends or supporting services using

Docker and Kubernetes

on a major cloud provider—or can learn quickly.

Use AI to accelerate your work—generating code, copy, or design variants— but

critically review outputs

to maintain UX quality and correctness.

Thrive in

high‑performing, cross‑disciplinary teams , enjoying collaboration with designers, researchers, and engineers.

Love

technically challenging problems at the intersection of interaction design, performance, and complex AI behavior .
