## About the role

We’re looking for a Design Engineer with exceptional visual taste and strong front-end craft to design and build developer-facing experiences across Exa’s product, playground, documentation, website, and brand. You’ll work directly with product and engineering, moving from early ideas and prototypes to polished, production-ready experiences. There is no traditional design-to-engineering handoff. You’ll use both design and code to explore possibilities, refine interactions, and ship.
