## About the role

The bar for consumer software not "it works" — it's "it feels alive." Reaching that bar requires people who can hold design and code quality as mutual priorities. As a Design Engineer at Posh, you'll work across both our React Native event discovery app and the React web tools that power IRL creator businesses — you will be the seam between Product, Design, and Engineering anchored on our platform team. Owning the craft of what we ship to millions of people finding and creating IRL communities around the world.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years building production frontend for consumer products, with at least 2+ years operating in a Design Engineer–style role where craft and product judgment are equals
- Deep comfort with React and React Native (ideal, but not required), TypeScript, and modern CSS — the kind of person who can build a complex prototype from scratch, while adding details that make every surface feel more intuitive and alive
- Figma Fluency — Hands-on experience with shared component libraries and optimizing design systems, and giving designers real feedback on what will and won't translate to code
- A portfolio of shipped work where the craft is the priority. We want to see the details: the animation that evokes visceral feelings, the edge case state nobody else would have built, the typographic system that holds up at every breakpoint
- Strong product instincts. You can take an evolving PRD and create an immersive prototype. Your presence in roadmap conversations highlights unique considerations
- A bias toward ownership. You take ambiguous problems, scope them yourself, and ship something truly delightful — without waiting to be told what "done" looks like
