ABOUT THE ROLE
Join a small, early-stage consumer apps team as a Founding Design Engineer. You will own an app end to end, shaping its design and implementation and helping it improve after launch.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Build features from initial sketches through mobile release.
- Create polished, native-feeling screens and interactions, including motion and haptics.
- Develop product loops that encourage users to return.
- Review product data and speak with users to decide what to improve or remove.
- Stay involved with the product after launch and iterate based on what you learn.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Experience building and shipping consumer mobile apps with real users, ideally with work available to inspect in an app store or similar.
- Experience owning an app across design, implementation, data, and release.
- Ability to create visual and interaction designs and implement them in code.
- Experience with Flutter, Dart, Swift, or Kotlin, and familiarity with Firebase and TypeScript.
- Experience building products in a startup environment and independently moving work forward without detailed specifications.
- Ability to use product data and user conversations to guide decisions after launch.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
Visa sponsorship is available.
