Design Engineer – Product Design & Front-End (React JS)

Remote within Europe (EU/EEA/UK). Must be based in a European time zone and authorized to work from Europe.

Up to USD 150,000 per annum (or equivalent in local currency) depending on experience and location.

They’re building a next-generation platform that uses AI-driven simulations to help people master complex human interactions (sales, negotiation, patient dialogues, leadership conversations).
As we scale our product, we’re looking for a talented Design Engineer who bridges product design and front-end engineering to help deliver beautiful, usable, performant experiences.

As a Design Engineer at Convergent AI you will:

• Own the design and implementation of key parts of the product interface and user experience (web application)
• Work in a cross-functional team (product, design, engineering) to translate user needs and business goals into scalable web UI
• Be hands‑on: from prototyping in design tools through to shipping production React JS components
• Ensure high quality, maintainable code, strong UI/UX, accessibility, and performance for our web app
• Help define and enforce design systems, component libraries, and front‑end architecture
• Collaborate with back‑end engineers, product managers and UX designers to deliver features end‑to‑end
• Continuously iterate and improve the product — using data, feedback and design thinking

• Lead the design of user flows, interaction patterns, UI visuals and component behaviour for our product
• Create high‑fidelity designs, mockups, prototypes (using tools like Figma, Sketch, AdobeXD, etc)
• Translate design assets into clean, modular, reusable React JS code, implementing component libraries, views and application logic
• Ensure the front‑end codebase adheres to best practices (performance, accessibility, responsive/mobile, maintainability)
• Define and own front‑end architecture decisions (React version, state management, styling approaches, bundling, etc)
• Work with UX researchers and product managers to validate design assumptions, run usability tests, iterate on design
• Help establish and maintain a design system, style guide, and shared component library across the product
• Review peer code and design work, mentor junior engineers/designers, contribute to front‑end engineering culture
• Stay up‑to‑date with front‑end technologies and design trends, bring in new ideas for improved UX and engineering efficiency

• Proven experience as a Product Designer (UX/UI) AND/OR as a front‑end engineer (or both) — you must have experience across design and implementation
• Strong hands‑on experience with React JS (including component design, state management, hooks, functional components)
• Solid experience building web applications, including: HTML5, CSS3 (or CSS‑in‑JS, SASS/LESS), responsive and mobile web design
• Experience with design tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or similar — comfortable creating mockups, prototypes, and handing off to dev
• Experience working in a design system / component‑library environment (creating, maintaining reusable components)
• Good visual design skills and understanding of UX best practices (user flows, interaction design, accessibility, performance)
• Ability to collaborate effectively with product, design, and engineering teams in a remote/distributed environment
• Excellent problem‑solving skills, ability to think broadly (product + business + users) and focus on execution
• Must be located in Europe, able to work in a European time‑zone and authorised to work from/for a European‑based company

• Experience with modern front‑end tooling: Webpack, Rollup, ES Modules, CI/CD for front‑end, Storybook, etc
• Experience with TypeScript (particularly in React codebases)
• Familiarity with analytics tools, A/B testing, user research processes
• Experience with designing and implementing animations/interactions or advanced UI transitions
• Experience with back‑end integration, APIs (REST/GraphQL) and working closely with back‑end engineers
• Prior experience building SaaS products, simulation platforms, or interactive learning applications
• Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG) and performance optimization techniques

• A key role in a fast‑growing, ambitious AI company with opportunities to shape product and architecture
• Full remote work (Europe) with flexible working hours and an autonomous culture
• Competitive compensation (up to USD 150,000 per year) plus benefits (to be specified by your local entity)
• Opportunity to work with an international team, cutting‑edge AI product, and strong growth potential
• Professional development: ability to lead modules, mentor others, contribute to design & engineering culture

Please submit your CV/Resume, a brief cover letter explaining why you’re interested in this role at Convergent AI, and a portfolio or link to relevant work that demonstrates:

• Your design work (product design, UI/UX)
• Your front‑end implementation in React JS (with component examples, code samples or live links if possible)
• Your contribution to product/design engineering from ideation through to launch

We will review applications on a rolling basis and plan to schedule an initial screening call followed by a technical exercise / portfolio review and then interviews with product/design/engineering leads.
