Requirements
• A builder with a sharp eye and obsessive attention to motion, interaction, and polish. • You go from concept to finished product independently. You don't wait for a spec to be perfect — you ship, iterate, and make things better every day. You've worked in fast environments before and you like it that way. • Strong with Next.js, Tailwind, and Framer Motion. These are our core stack. You don't need to be an expert in all three on day one, but you should be dangerous in at least two and excited to go deep on the third. • Obsessed with developer experience. Our users are developers. You understand that great design in a dev tools context means clarity, speed, and zero friction — not flashy gimmicks. • You ship live projects with real users. Portfolio pieces are fine. But we want to see things people actually use — not just Dribbble shots that never saw production. • Backgrounds that often do well: Design engineers at developer tools companies, frontend engineers with strong design instincts, designers who code and ship their own work, or indie builders who've launched products end-to-end. • WHAT WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR • Pure designers who don't code. This role lives in the codebase. If you need an engineer to implement your designs, this isn't the right fit. • People who optimize for pixel-perfect mockups over shipped product. We value speed and iteration. If you spend a week in Figma before touching code, you'll be frustrated here. • Someone who needs a lot of structure or process. We don't have a design team, a sprint cadence, or a formal review pipeline. You'll get a problem, some context, and the trust to go solve it. • We operate at an absurd level of urgency because the window for what we're building won't stay open forever. If that excites you, keep reading. If it doesn't, no hard feelings — but this role probably isn't for you.
