Design Engineer ($150k-$200k + Equity) at Aranya.tech

Company Description: Aranya.tech - Building the first personal cluster operating system

Job Description:
Join a 4-person founding team to define the visual and interaction layer of ClusterdOS. You will re-imagine how humans interact with distributed systems, turning complex Kubernetes infrastructure into an intuitive, accessible experience. This role blends deep interaction design with production-grade frontend engineering to create an entirely new computing paradigm from the ground up.

Why this role is remarkable:

• Rare opportunity to define the "desktop metaphor" for distributed computing as one of the first five employees at a high-growth startup.

• Work directly with a founding team from Hyperbolic, Crusoe Energy, and MIT on a live, open-source product already gaining traction.

• High-impact environment with meaningful founding-stage equity and the chance to build a design system for the next generation of infrastructure.

What you will do:

• Design and implement the visual language of ClusterdOS, including micro-interactions, motion design, and complex user flows for cluster provisioning.

• Create novel visualization systems that make distributed state legible and delightful using React, TypeScript, and real-time reactive state management.

• Prototype rapidly in code to test interaction patterns, establishing a robust component library that bridges the gap between design and engineering.

The ideal candidate:

• 3-5+ years of experience with a design-first mindset and strong engineering skills in React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS.

• Exceptional portfolio showcasing high-fidelity UI/UX work with a level of polish comparable to industry leaders like Vercel, Linear, or Ramp.

• Strong intuition for motion design and the ability to translate technical infrastructure complexity into elegant, user-friendly interfaces without oversimplifying.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
