UX Engineer

Bevel is an AI workspace that helps university instructional design teams evaluate and improve their courses. We're a small team working very closely with our customers. AI is at the core of both our product and how we work, and we lean on AI agents and tools across nearly everything we do. As the product has grown, it has gotten more complex, and we're looking for a UX engineer to make it feel simple again. This role starts part-time at 10 to 15 hours a week, paid $50 to $65 per hour. The first ~three months are a chance for both of us to see how we work together and shape the role around what you're best at. If it's a great fit, our goal is to bring you on full-time as part of the founding team. You'll own an interface from start to finish: noticing what's confusing, figuring out why, designing something better, and shipping it. Other members of the engineering team handle the backend, APIs, infrastructure, and deployment, so your focus stays on the frontend and the experience. What You'll Do: Look at a screen or workflow, spot what is confusing, and figure out why. Dig into the problem through customer feedback, support requests, and quick conversations or interviews with our customers. Propose a solution with a working prototype, and walk the team through your reasoning to get buy in. Make complex workflows easier to follow, including how people review and approve work done by AI agents. Turn existing mocks and screens into polished, production-ready interfaces. Build the approved design in React and open a pull request with the finished UI. Who We're Looking For: UX design and UX research experience, including user interviews or usability testing that led to real design changes. A strong eye for visual design and interaction details. You have built and shipped in React and Typescript. Comfort with modern CSS and component-based UI. Ability to explain your design decisions clearly and take feedback well. You already heavily use AI tools throughout your design and coding process, and you can explain, debug, and test what they produce. Interest in designing for AI agents, including how people review, trust, and act on what agents produce. Comfort working independently on a small team and interest in startups. Details: This role is open to remote applicants. Bonus points if you're in or around the Boston area (where much of our team is), but not required. Demonstrated experience and interest in education and education technology is a plus. #J-18808-Ljbffr Bevel
