Senior Product Design Engineer

Roles & Responsibilities :

• Design and build UI in the same motion - prototyping novel AI-native interactions directly in code rather than in Figma-then-handoff.

• Sit inside a pod (PM + eng lead + you) and take features from concept to shipped, rather than handing off a spec and waiting.

• Own the interaction and motion details - loading/streaming states, transitions, micro-interactions - the polish that's nearly impossible to fully spec in a doc.

• Build and maintain shared UI components so the rest of the org can move fast without reinventing patterns feature by feature.

• Work directly in the production codebase.

• Own the design system - the components, patterns, and code.

• Define how design work becomes a shipped interface for everyone else on the team.

• Set standards and guardrails to ensure code generated with AI tools is production-ready, not bloated.

• Help other designers close the gap between design and frontend-ready code.

Ideal Candidate :

• Strong Product Design Engineer profile combining product design with hands-on frontend coding.

• 2+ years in product design, with strong depth in dense, complex product interfaces (tables, forms, permissions, multi-role flows) built for real users.

• Strong product/visual design judgment along with the ability to ship production-ready frontend code independently.

• Hands-on frontend engineering (React / HTML / CSS / GitHub), able to work directly in a production codebase and write clean, production-ready code.

• Ability to set guardrails and standards so AI tools generate clean, production-ready, accessible code.

• Must share a GitHub profile and a link to a real product prototype designed and coded end-to-end.

• Excellent English communication skills.

• B2B SaaS background or early-stage startup experience.

Additional Information :

• Company : B2B SaaS Series A startup.

• Team size : 70 people overall, design team currently 2 people.
