About the role
Developer-first companies are allergic to marketing — which means our web work has to be so good it doesn't feel like marketing. That's the job. Most "design engineer" roles are really front-end roles with a nicer title: implement the mockup, close the ticket. This one isn't. We're rolling out a new brand identity, and we need someone to engineer it into existence — the components, the motion systems, the tooling that make a brand real instead of a PDF nobody opens.
What they're looking for
- An exceptional front-end engineer with a portfolio of production web work that speaks for itself
- Obsessive about detail — motion, interaction, and performance are your home turf, not checkboxes
- Fluent in translating brand and design intent into reusable systems and components
- Fast and self-directed — you ship polished work without waiting for perfect specs
- A strong collaborator with designers — you elevate their ideas rather than flattening them into what's easy

You're the kind of person who profiles an animation at 10pm because 60fps wasn't negotiable, who notices when an easing curve is wrong from across the room, and who thinks the gap between "looks like the design" and "feels alive" is where the actual work lives.
