Job summary

aion, the enterprise AI platform, is hiring a design engineer who builds like a founder. You design it, build it, ship it and own it. Code is your design material, and you write a shader when CSS runs out.

You’ll create production UI in React and TypeScript, from primitives to complete surfaces, and you’ll implement tools that make the team faster. You’ll push motion, 3D, shaders and generative work to elevate the experience, review every build on real devices at multiple scales, and ensure

Responsibilities

• Take ideas from a blank file to production: decide what's worth building, prototype it in code, and own it once it ships.
• Build production UI in React and TypeScript, from primitives to complete surfaces.
• Build the custom tools that make the team faster: design-system tooling, motion tuners, debug overlays and internal apps.
