About the role

We're looking for a Design Engineer who lives at the intersection of design and code. You will prototype, build, and polish the experiences that make CodeRabbit feel like a trusted teammate rather than noise — across IDEs, Git platforms, the CLI, and the web, surfaces with few established conventions, where the right interaction pattern hasn't been invented yet.

What they're looking for

  • Equally fluent in Figma and your editor. You move between design tools and code without friction, and you're credible in both rooms. This is the core of the role
  • Strong front-end engineering. Deep skills in TypeScript, React, CSS, and animation, with an instinct for building reusable, maintainable UI systems
  • An obsession with craft. You have an eye for design details, you've shipped polished products, and you know what it takes to get from 90% to 100%
  • You ship fast and learn in the open. You'd rather get something in front of users this week than perfect it for a month — and you find ways to keep the care in the details while moving quickly
  • You're AI-native in how you work. You already use AI tools to extend what you can build and see AI as a creative partner in your own practice
  • You're rethinking the basics. Many UI primitives were designed for a different era, you're excited to question assumptions and invent patterns native to AI and developer tools
More about this role

CodeRabbit is the leading AI code review platform, trusted by more than 17,000 customers and 150,000 open-source projects, conducting over 2 million code reviews each week. We build the symbiotic partnership between developers and AI that makes shipping fast software safe again, reviewing every pull request, IDE change, and CLI commit so teams can move quickly without breaking things.

We are a fast-moving, well-funded company, fresh off a $143M Series C at a $1.5B valuation — building Agentic Change Management, the control layer for software changes created by humans and agents. As AI writes more of the world's code, the bottleneck moves from implementation to judgment and helping human judgment scale is exactly the problem we exist to solve.
