Design Engineer

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.
