• Passion for craft and interaction details.
• Experience turning ideas into tangible prototypes.
• Ability to ship features end-to-end with designers and engineers.

Job description

About Us:

Viggle builds the generative motion and character engines that let anyone become a director. Feed our AI a spark of an idea, and watch it move, act, and perform on cue, at a scale that reaches millions of people. We're hunting for a Design Engineer who wants to live at the delightful collision point between product design and the machinery behind it.

What you'll do

• Design and prototype features across our motion, character, and scene tools

• Get hands‑on with live‑tuning parameters, learning how real‑time adjustments affect the product interface, and designing mobile interactions (touch, gesture, and motion) that make that kind of control feel intuitive instead of overwhelming on a small screen

• Bounce between Figma and code like they’re one continuous canvas: mock it up, build it, test it, polish it

• Partner with design and engineering to ship features start to finish, past the handoff and into the real thing

• Sweat the details most people breeze past: spacing, motion, copy, the tiny interaction beats that make something feel alive

What we’re looking for

• An eye for craft that borders on obsessive

• A feel for live‑tuning: real‑time controls that let people shape a scene or character as it plays out, responding instantly to their input

• Fluency in Figma

• Comfort writing code and diving into a real codebase, mud on your boots and all

• A love of moving fast and working shoulder to shoulder with people in the same room

• A degree in design, HCI, computer science, or something adjacent, or equivalent experience

How we work

• We build systems, not buttons: we care about the underlying logic as much as any single screen

• We move at a fast pace, driven by momentum and curiosity

• We work in person, because hallway conversations spark better ideas than a chat thread ever could

• Half‑formed ideas are welcome here, we like figuring things out together

Nice to have

• Experience with 3D tools or pipelines

• Experience shipping consumer mobile apps at scale

• Passion for print, typography, and related craft

Benefits:

• Dynamic startup culture—accelerate your skills and career growth

• Attractive equity packages and highly competitive salary

• Comprehensive dental coverage

• Complimentary lunch, dinner, snacks, and a vibrant, fun office environment
