About the role

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.
