The Role
We're looking for a Design Engineer who can move seamlessly between design and code.
You'll turn ideas into polished, production-ready experiences—prototyping in code, shaping interactions, building reusable components, and sweating the details that make great products feel great.
You'll work closely with product, design, engineering, and the founders, with significant ownership over how SideShift looks, feels, and functions.
What You'll Do
Design and build polished product experiences from concept to production
Prototype interactions and ideas directly in code
Turn ambiguous problems into simple, intuitive experiences
Build and evolve our design system and component library
Sweat the details: typography, spacing, animation, transitions, and states
Collaborate closely with product and engineering to iterate quickly
Raise the bar for visual and interaction quality across the product
What We're Looking For
2+ years in design engineering, product design, frontend engineering, or a combination
Have built and implemented design systems from the ground up
Strong proficiency with React, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS
Strong visual and interaction design skills
Proficiency with Figma or similar design tools
Excellent product sense and attention to detail
Ability to prototype quickly and turn ideas into production-quality work
A portfolio demonstrating exceptional product craft
You Might Be a Great Fit If
You care as much about how something feels as how it functions
You notice the 2px alignment issue nobody else sees
You'd rather prototype an interaction than debate it
You have a high standard of excellence for design
