SeniorDesignEngineer

The role: As a Senior Design Engineer, you will work at the intersection of design and engineering, splitting your time roughly 50/50 between UI/UX design and hands-on front-end implementation (flexible toward 60/40 engineering and beyond for the right person). You will own both the design experience and its technical realization for the products that empower our content creators to develop the content teachers and students use, with a focus on building a product that improves every day. Why you’ll love this role: Understand and articulate user and business problems, engaging with users frequently to surface pain points and support day-to-day improvements, then propose thoughtful, feasible design solutions. Translate design intent (your own and other designers’) into high-quality, accessible, production-ready front-end code that faithfully matches the design vision. Develop deep fluency in our engineering ecosystem (architecture, component libraries, APIs, build tooling, and constraints) and use it to unblock designers and bridge design and engineering. Establish and maintain a design system as living code, keeping our design sources of truth accurate and up to date, and managing the component library and its documentation in Storybook. Build and maintain a shared repository of design principles the team consistently follows, so quality and consistency scale across people and products. Prototype complex interactions, states, and motion to validate ideas quickly and communicate intent precisely. Reporting to the Product Design Manager, partner closely with Design, Engineering, UX Research, Data, Content, and Marketing to align on problems, define solutions, and ensure feasibility. Why you’re a great fit: 6+ years spanning product/UX design and front-end engineering, with genuine depth in both rather than one: expert-level Figma, and proficiency writing production front-end code (e.g., React, TypeScript, modern HTML/CSS) within an existing codebase.
