Obble; United States; Remote; USD 90,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Obble is seeking a designer who can pair product design with front-end engineering to shape a data-heavy application from concept through production. You will own both design decisions and the code that brings them to life, delivering interfaces that are clear, accessible, and visually cohesive for demanding users.

This role blends strategy, interaction design, and implementation to create consistent, scalable experiences across complex workflows.

Qualifications

• Portfolio of interfaces you personally designed and built, not only concepts.
• Strong working knowledge of React and CSS.
• Judgment around layout, typography, spacing, hierarchy and interaction design.
• Ability to own problems end-to-end from definition to shipped result.
• Comfort communicating design rationale and tradeoffs.

Responsibilities

• Lead interface work from initial sketches and interaction concepts through implemented, reviewed, and merged code.
• Develop and maintain the design system, including typography, color tokens, motion principles, and reusable components.
• Improve the readability and usability of dense screens used to compare, organize, and evaluate large amounts of information.
• Make thoughtful product decisions alongside visual design decisions, balancing user needs, clarity, and implementation constraints.
• Build accessibility into the experience, including keyboard navigation, sufficient contrast, and support for reduced-motion preferences.
