Design Engineer

$200k - $290k

Icreatives

Design Engineer

San Francisco Bay Area (Onsite) $200K-$290K + Equity Relocation and visa sponsorship is available Generous Benefits and Perks

Your foundation is design. You happen to be highly capable in code as well.

We've partnered with a fast-growing AI startup that's building products used by thousands of companies deploying AI-powered voice agents at scale. They're looking for a Design Engineer who can bridge design and engineering while helping elevate the quality, consistency, and scalability of every customer-facing experience. The team is seeking top-tier talent to tackle complex infrastructure challenges, and the compensation reflects that level of ownership, with a highly competitive base, bonus structure, and strong Bay Area benefits.

NOTE We're looking for a designer who codes, not an engineer who designs.

Your current and recent experience should reflect a design-first background with strong front-end capabilities.

What You'll Be Working With:

Figma, React, TypeScript, HTML/CSS, Design Systems, Component Libraries, Storybook, Cursor, Claude Code, AI-assisted development workflows

What We're Looking For:

  • 5+ years of full-time experience in product, UX, digital, or design systems roles with "Designer" in your title
  • Advanced expertise in Figma, including creating, organizing, and scaling sophisticated component ecosystems
  • Strong command of modern frontend technologies, with the ability to develop reusable UI components using React, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS
  • Extensive experience designing, evolving, and governing design systems across growing product environments
  • Deep understanding of design architecture, including tokens, spacing methodologies, reusable patterns, and maintaining consistency across complex interfaces
  • Demonstrated success delivering production-ready UI components that are actively used within customer-facing products
  • Hands-on experience leveraging AI-assisted development platforms such as Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar tools to accelerate and enhance development workflows
  • Proven ability to combine design thinking with technical execution to create scalable, maintainable product experiences
  • Strong perspective on where AI can improve efficiency, quality, and collaboration throughout the design and development process

You'll Stand Out If You:

  • Have helped build or scale a mature design system
  • Think in systems, patterns, and reusable architecture
  • Prototype directly in code instead of waiting for perfect specifications
  • Obsess over spacing, alignment, consistency, and visual polish Enjoy collaborating equally with designers and engineers
  • Can identify where AI accelerates development and where human judgment still matters

Score Bonus Point with:

  • Storybook experience
  • Motion design and interaction design expertise
  • Accessibility and inclusive design knowledge
  • Experience at a design-led SaaS company
  • Interest in helping teams adopt AI-native workflows and best practices

This is an opportunity to build products at the intersection of AI, design, and engineering while helping define how modern product teams work together.

  • Benefits and Perks
  • 100% covered medical, dental, and vision Benefits and Perks
  • Daily meal support for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
  • Wellness reimbursement to support your health and fitness
  • Commuter support for gas, transit, and getting to and from work
  • Monthly phone reimbursement

This is a 100% onsite/hybrid position based in the San Francisco Bay area.

US Visas: Our client is open to sponsoring work authorization for qualified candidates, including H1B/H-1B, TN, L-1, E-3, F-1 (OPT/CPT), and O-1 visas.

WORK SCHEDULE - (6) working days - 5 days working onsite in SF Bay area, Sunday is WFH

To apply, please submit your resume, cover letter, and a link to your portfolio and case studies for consideration.

We receive a high volume of applications, so we're unable to respond individually. If your qualifications align, well, reach out by phone, email, or text. Message and data rates may apply.

icreatives is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer. We consider all applicants without regard to protected characteristics and are committed to a workplace where diversity, equity, and inclusion fuel creative excellence
