Job description

Who we are: Whissle is an independent AI company performing original multi-modal speech-and-language research, building services and products.

Our cloud API powers:

• Real-time speech & language services (think “Deepgram, but open and programmable”)
• Conversational Bot – a chat assistant that controls IoT devices and answers everyday questions

Next up: native desktop (Electron / Tauri) and mobile (React Native / Expo) apps for those products. Design

• Turn ideas into user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity Figma comps for web, desktop, and mobile.
• Implement your designs as reusable React / React Native components in TypeScript & Tailwind + shadcn / ui.
• Own the design system, performance budgets, and responsive behavior across breakpoints.

Pair daily with product designers, full-stack engineers, and researchers; present work in design reviews; help mentor interns.

Requirements:

• 3-6 years shipping production UI that matches your own high-fidelity designs.
• Production experience with React 18 / Next.js and TypeScript.
• Experience with React Native, Expo, Electron, or Tauri.
• Comfort using Tailwind CSS (or similar utility classes) and component libraries such as shadcn / ui.
• Familiarity with front-end testing (Jest, React Testing Library) and component documentation (Storybook / Chromatic).
• Solid grasp of accessibility principles and inclusive design.
• Ability to communicate design rationale clearly in a fast-moving, async-friendly environment.
• Contributions to open-source design systems or tooling are a plus.

Benefits include ownership that matters with early-stage equity, deferred-salary upside, remote-first life with flexible hours, quarterly hack-weeks, and a modern tech stack including React 18, Next.js 14, Expo, Tauri, Vercel, and GitHub Actions. Join us to build tools for creators, developers, and smart-home users.
