Founding Design Engineer
Clark
About Clark Clark is building the trust infrastructure for the AI economy. We're starting with audit and accounting workflows-high-trust environments where reliability, accuracy, and security matter as much as productivity. Our platform helps firms automate complex workflows, deploy AI safely, and modernize how audit teams operate. The Role We are hiring a Design Engineer to build the product experiences that define how customers interact with Clark. This role sits at the intersection of product design and frontend engineering. You'll partner closely with Product, Design, and Engineering to prototype new ideas, build polished interfaces, and ship production-ready experiences. You should be equally comfortable thinking through user workflows in Figma, building components in React, and refining the details that make software feel intuitive. Why This Role Matters Clark is building software for professionals performing high-trust work. Our users need to understand what the system is doing, why it's doing it, and where their judgment matters. Great product design isn't about making software look good-it's about making complex AI workflows feel trustworthy, fast, and easy to use. The Design Engineer will play a critical role in shaping how customers experience Clark every day. What You'll Do
- Design and build polished, production-quality interfaces across Clark's core product
- Partner with Product, Design, and Engineering to turn ideas into thoughtful, high-quality user experiences
- Build intuitive workflows for AI-powered audit and accounting products
- Contribute to Clark's design system, component library, and frontend foundations
- Craft exceptional user experiences through strong interaction design, motion, responsiveness, and visual polish
- Build with modern frontend technologies including React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS
- Optimize for performance, accessibility, and maintainability without compromising user experience
- Raise the quality bar for product craftsmanship across the engineering organization
- 3+ years building modern web applications
- Strong experience with React, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, and modern frontend frameworks
- Exceptional product taste with a strong eye for interaction design and visual detail
- Comfortable moving seamlessly between design and engineering
- Experience translating product concepts into polished production software
- High ownership with the ability to operate independently in ambiguous environments
- Strong attention to detail and pride in building products users love
- Experience building AI-native or agentic products
- Experience with design systems and reusable component libraries
- Experience at an early-stage startup
- Strong motion design or frontend animation experience
- Experience building enterprise workflow software or productivity tools
