Job Description
Job Description
New York City, NY · On-site (5 days/week) · Full-time Compensation: $200,000–$280,000 + competitive equity
About the CompanyOur client is the cloud platform for modern tech companies — the power of the cloud without the complexity or cost, letting the next generation of builders run anything, anywhere. It lets top engineering teams instantly create production-grade infrastructure on any cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP), deploy their application code, and monitor and manage it, so they can focus on building product instead of managing infrastructure. It's Series A, profitable, with 8x ARR growth since 2022, HQ'd in New York with an SF office.
Founded 2020 · 11–50 people (Series A) · Industry: Developer infrastructure
The RoleThe client is hiring a Design / Micro-Interaction Engineer to own the craft and feel of the platform — information architecture, core product flows, micro-interactions, and a full rebrand rollout. This is not a handoff role: you design it, you implement it, you own it.
Tech stack: Figma + hands-on front-end implementation in code.
Requirements- 5+ years of design or micro-interaction engineering, with a portfolio demonstrating craft and curiosity
- Comfortable implementing designs in code, not just Figma — an independent force who polishes the product without needing frontend-engineer bandwidth
- Pre-AI technical frontend experience — actually understands the code being pushed
- An AI-native mindset, using AI to move faster
- Based in or relocating to New York City
- A portfolio showing unique design sensibility and clean, intentional execution (not vibe-coded)
- A portfolio that demonstrates genuine taste and craft, not just technical execution — the primary filter
- A background at Vercel, Linear, or a developer-tooling company with a strong design-engineering culture
- Excited about implementing their own designs using AI tools without waiting on engineering
- Can name a collaborator who was better than them — signals low ego and team orientation
- Has shipped micro-interactions and polished product experiences to real users in production
- Genuine curiosity about dev tooling and cloud infrastructure, not just the design problem
- Own the craft end to end: not a handoff role — you design it, implement it, and own it, from micro-interactions and core flows to a full rebrand
- Direct founder collaboration: work directly with the co-founder and design lead
- Full autonomy: no product team — engineers own the full development lifecycle, talk to customers directly, and decide what to build in two-week cycles
- Location — New York City, NY
- Work policy — On-site, 5 days/week
- Compensation — $200,000–$280,000 + competitive equity
- Visa sponsorship — Not available
- Employment type — Full-time
