Founding Design Engineer
About the Role
This is a founding-level role at a seed-stage B2B SaaS startup in the pricing intelligence space. You will own the entire frontend design system, component library, and UI coherence layer across a product that ships fast with both human engineers and AI coding agents. This role is the sole bar-raiser for frontend quality and UX standards across the company.
What You'll Do
Define and maintain the design token system, component library, and frontend patterns that keep every shipped interface feeling like one cohesive product.
Enforce frontend standards so that agent-written and human-written pull requests land consistently by default, using React Query, React Hook Form, and Zod.
Own frontend tooling and quality, including Biome configuration, Playwright end-to-end coverage, and frontend performance.
Translate design intent into component abstractions and lint rules to preserve coherence at scale.
Build and iterate on conversational and AI-native interface patterns, including streaming responses and generative views.
Integrate AI coding tools into the frontend workflow to accelerate delivery without sacrificing polish.
