## About the role

We're looking for a Senior Design Engineer to own the craft and feel of AssemblyAI's product experience end to end. This person will design and build the interfaces our developers live in, from the Playground to the dashboard, and hold the bar on how everything looks, moves, and feels, not just whether it works.

## What they're looking for

- A strong portfolio of shipped product work that demonstrates real design taste and craft
- Genuine UX and visual design ability, from concept through high-fidelity execution
- Deep proficiency in Figma, comfortable moving from low-fidelity exploration to high-fidelity, dev-ready designs and maintaining shared component libraries
- Solid frontend engineering skills, comfortable building production interfaces in modern React and TypeScript
- Fluency with AI-assisted design and development, and a real instinct for building AI-native interfaces
- Comfort operating with ambiguity and owning outcomes end to end
