## About the role

We're looking for a world-class Founding Design Engineer to own product design end-to-end at Blaxel: from the first exploration to production code running in front of real users . You'll design the experience of a new category of cloud computing, then build it yourself, using AI to ship at a speed that wasn't possible even two years ago.

## What they're looking for

- Designer first. Exceptional taste and craft are the bar, and the one thing we won't compromise on. Taste is the rarest skill in this role and the hardest to learn
- Obsessive about detail. Spacing, motion, microcopy, empty states, edge cases. You notice the 1px misalignment and it bothers you until it's fixed
- Technical enough to own a codebase. Solid front-end fundamentals (TypeScript, React, CSS), and you understand how a production codebase is structured, reviewed, and shipped
- Deeply AI fluent. You are extremely curious about AI, and use it as a force multiplier on real design and engineering judgment, not a substitute for it. You're genuinely hungry to push the limit of what one person can ship
- Product-minded. You think in user problems and KPIs, not just screens. Comfortable with analytics, session replays, and forming your own hypotheses about what to build next
- Mini design founder. Strong ownership, high ambition, and comfort with the pace and ambiguity of an early-stage startup. You'd rather own the outcome than execute a spec
