## About the role

We’re looking for a Design Engineer to help define what modern design-to-code looks like at OnePay. This is a first-class engineering role with design fluency. You’ll generate production-ready components directly, use AI coding tools aggressively, and help push the team past traditional spec-based handoff. You’re not executing the current model – you’re shaping what comes next.

## What they're looking for

- You ship in code. Figma is part of how you communicate, but you’re most fluent in the codebase. You generate production-ready work, not just specs
- You’re AI-native at production velocity. Cursor, Claude Code, v0, similar tools – they’re already how you move. You ship more in a day than most teams do in a week
- You’re rethinking handoff. The traditional model is breaking down, and you’re excited to define what replaces it
- You translate fluently. You speak both languages. Designers trust you, engineers trust you, and you make the gap between them disappear
- You sweat the implementation. A two-pixel drift in production matters to you. So does a token that doesn’t quite map. You catch what others miss
- You operate in motion. Process is fluid here, and you help shape it as you ship
