Job description

Role overview

This Design Engineer role sits at the intersection of engineering and product design inside a consumer fintech building embedded financial services. The position involves shipping production-ready components directly in code, leveraging AI-assisted development tools at speed, and helping redefine how design-to-code handoff works. It is a first-class engineering role that demands fluency in both Figma and modern frontend codebases.

Responsibilities

• Generate production-ready components directly in the codebase rather than producing spec-only deliverables.
• Use AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, or v0 to move at production velocity and ship more in a day than most teams do in a week.
• Help shape a new design-to-code workflow that replaces traditional spec-based handoff.
• Translate fluently between designers and engineers so the gap between disciplines disappears.
• Sweat implementation details like pixel alignment, design tokens, and component-to-code mapping that others miss.
• Operate in a fluid process environment and help define how the team ships work.

Requirements

• Strong fluency in both Figma and code, particularly React Native or React.
• Active daily use of AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, v0, or similar) at production velocity.
• Deep understanding of design tokens, component architecture, and how design systems map to code.
• Experience shipping on cross-functional teams where design and engineering overlap.
• Strong communication skills across both design and engineering disciplines.
• Track record of operating in fluid environments and helping define how teams work.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with the Node and TypeScript server stack, the NestJS framework, microservice-oriented architecture, Kubernetes, and AWS.
• General familiarity with modern software engineering practices.

Benefits and work setup

• Competitive base salary, stock options, and health benefits from day one.
• 401(k) plan with company match.
• Remote-friendly (US) with flexible time off and growth opportunities in a high-growth environment.
