Founding Design Engineer

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.
