Design Micro-Interaction Engineer

Cloud platform for modern tech companies. Series A funded, profitable, growing 8x in ARR since 2022, headquartered in New York with an SF office. Flat team, high ownership, working with some of the most exciting YC-backed companies.

About the Role

Client is hiring a Design / Micro-Interaction Engineer to own the craft and feel of their platform. You will work directly with Justin, the design lead and Co-Founder, on information architecture, core product flows, micro- interactions, and a full rebrand rollout. This is not a handoff role. You design it, you implement it, you own it.

The client is a company that cares about building something beautiful. They are not afraid of tackling the hardest problems. The closest reference point for the type of person they are looking for is Vercel’s design engineering team. There is no product team here — engineers own the full development lifecycle, talk to customers directly, and decide what to build. If that excites you, keep reading.
