Design Engineer
Fast-growing software company
The Role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Lead product and brand design while also building interface components in code. Establish the visual language and shared design system, and help set up a design function from the ground up, working closely with company leadership.
What You'll Do
Own product design from concept to release, shaping experiences for how people collaborate on content and work alongside AI tools.
Create marketing and storytelling content such as social assets, landing pages and video.
Define a visual language spanning product and marketing, including typography, color, layout, motion and tone of voice.
Turn that visual language into a design system with components, tokens, documentation and code-first tooling used by both engineers and AI systems.
Set up the processes that let the engineering team ship quickly while keeping a high design standard.
Use the company's own products daily and talk with users to find and remove friction.
What We're Looking For
5+ years of experience in design and front-end work.
A background as an early hire on a small design team, ideally the person who established design practices from scratch.
Hands-on work across both product interfaces and marketing visuals for a software or developer-focused business.
Has built and maintained production UI directly rather than only handing specs to engineers.
Deep Figma skills and a portfolio that demonstrates design system work.
Front-end fluency with Storybook and Tailwind, able to build and own components in code.
Based in San Francisco or willing to relocate.
Comfortable working in the office five days a week at the start, then moving to a hybrid schedule.
Location And Work Model
San Francisco, CA, United States
On-site, 5 days per week in office at the start, then hybrid
