Senior Design Engineer

This is a fully remote role within the United States.

Were looking for a product-minded Design Engineer to bridge the gap between design intent and the experience we ultimately ship. Youll evolve Pit Viper Turquoise Healths design system and component library while working directly in product code to improve the usability consistency accessibility and polish of our applications.

Pit Viper includes visual foundations layouts CSS patterns and pv-components built with Vue. Those components can also be distributed as native Web Components allowing us to reuse the system in lighter-weight server-driven parts of the product powered by Django templates.

Youll help determine what the right interactions should be implement them in production and identify when an individual product improvement should become a reusable system capability.

Success in this role means being able to demonstrate outcomes such as:

• A recurring product pattern that previously required one-off implementations is now supported by a flexible well-documented pv-component

• A critical workflow is materially easier to understand because its interaction hierarchy responsive behavior and edge states have been refined in code

• Vue and HTMX-powered product surfaces can use the same components without creating fragmented user experiences

• Accessibility visual consistency and interaction issues are caught and resolved before release rather than during post-launch cleanup

• Product engineers can ship high-quality experiences more quickly because our design system gives them stronger defaults

Responsibilities

• Design build test document and maintain reusable pv-components within our internal design system (PitViper)

• Create thoughtful component APIs composition patterns variants interaction states and extension points that serve emerging product needs

• Ensure components work naturally within Vue applications while remaining useful as native Web Components in HTML and other server-rendered product surfaces

• Partner closely with product designers and engineers throughout the development process from early exploration through production implementation

• Work directly in application code to refine layouts interactions responsive behavior typography spacing focus management transitions and feedback states

• Last-mile design delivery: implementation of details that are often missed between a design file and production including loading empty error success disabled hover and keyboard-navigation states

• Review product surfaces for visual behavioral and accessibility inconsistencies then fix them at the appropriate level: within the feature shared application code or Pit Viper

• Improve the documentation testing release processes and contribution practices that make Pit Viper easier for other teams to adopt

What youll bring to the role

• 5 years building production web interfaces with HTML CSS and JavaScript or TypeScript

• 1 years of direct hands-on experience building or maintaining a design system component library or shared UI framework (not just consuming one)

• Strong visual and interaction-design judgment. You can recognize why an interface feels unfinished and translate that observation into a concrete implementation

• Production-level experience with Vue (or a comparable component framework React/Svelte/Angular)

• Demonstrable experience implementing accessibility standards (WCAG) in shipped components not just design reviews

• A portfolio or work sample showing before/after component or interaction work (not just visual mockups)

Bonus Points

• Experience authoring and publishing native Web Components consumed outside their originating framework

• Experience working across a mixed-framework stack a JS framework alongside server-rendered templates (Django Rails HTMX or similar)

• Experience contributing to or maintaining a component library used by 10 other engineers/teams

• Familiarity with Storybook Figma-to-code tooling or similar design-system tooling

• Experience in healthcare fintech or another data-dense enterprise product domain

Benefits

• Competitive pay with equity options

• Stellar healthcare plan options including Medical Dental and Vision with FSA DCFSA and HSA options

• Company-sponsored disability and life insurance

• Unlimited PTO

• 401(k) with 4% matching

• Fully remote work and flexible working hours

• $750 work-from-home setup budget

• Paid biannual in-person company summits

• Quarterly $150 co-hanging stipend to meet with coworkers

• Monthly $100 health and wellness benefit

• Generous paid family leave

• Annual $1200 learning and development stipend
