Jobbeschreibung

Remote-first. If you're based in Poland, Portugal, or Ukraine, you may use local offices as needed.

About the role

PandaDoc is hiring a Senior Design Engineer to sit at the intersection of design and engineering in the Growth track. Our product designers use Cursor and Claude every day to explore flows, prototype interactions and pressure‑test ideas. We need someone who can take those explorations from working prototype to production‑grade React in days, not sprints, and in doing so change how Growth decides what to build.

In an AI‑first track, the speed and fidelity of prototyping is no longer just a craft question – it’s how we validate. A prototype realistic enough to put in front of customers, instrumented and shippable, is how we earn conviction and kill weak ideas early. Your work compresses the distance from an idea to a validated decision, and then to a shipped surface. It won't just illustrate a direction – it will help us choose it.

You will build the operations, patterns, and prompt libraries that let our designers move at your pace, and set the bar for what “good” looks like when shipping with AI. This role’s output is measured both in what you ship and in how you enable the rest of the team.

What you’ll do

• Prototype AI‑native ideas in code fast – take a concept from Figma or an LLM conversation to a working production‑grade React code in days, owning layout, interaction, motion, accessibility, and performance.
• Ship production‑grade Growth surfaces – own key surfaces end to end: layout, interaction, motion, accessibility, performance.
• Own the quality ceiling – define what “good” looks like when shipping with AI, through reviews, examples, and reusable patterns others can lean on.
• Extend our AI‑enabled tools and processes – improve patterns and prompt libraries so the rest of the team can move at your pace.
• Set the quality bar for AI‑assisted output – partner with design leadership to define what “good” looks like when shipping with AI.
• Trailblaze the Design Engineer function at PandaDoc – own work end to end, from problem framing to launch, and shape how this role operates as the first hire in it.
• Measure your impact two ways: what you ship, and how much faster the team ships because of you.

What you need

• Strong experience across design and front‑end engineering, with a portfolio of shipped interfaces or widely‑used components you can show.
• Fluency in React, TypeScript, modern CSS, and one animation library (Framer Motion, React Spring, or similar).
• Active, opinionated use of Cursor and Claude Code in your workflow, with a clear point of view on how to get production‑quality output.
• An eye for design and engineering workflows – you spot where the team loses time and build the tool, pattern, or process that fixes it.
• Comfort building from scratch with the judgment to set direction when there’s no template.

Our stack

React, TypeScript, our internal AI‑enabled design system, Figma, Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot.

Benefits

• Competitive salary. If you are based in Poland, the salary range is 31,000-40,000 PLN per month.
• Remote‑first approach with the option for hybrid work from our offices in Kyiv, Warsaw, and Lisbon.
• We value long‑term collaboration, whether through typical employment contract, employment of record or B2B arrangements. Contract type and benefits vary by location; feel free to clarify with our recruiters.
• Work schedule aligned with EU time zones.
• Honest, open culture that values constructive feedback.
• Professional and personal development within a collaborative, supportive team.
• Stable yet growing SaaS product offering an agile environment, ownership, start‑up energy, and strong technical challenges.
