Ideal Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate is an engineer first who also has an exceptional eye for design and product quality. This person should be equally comfortable working in Figma and a codebase, taking a design from initial concept through a polished production implementation.

The candidate should have a genuine frontend engineering background rather than being primarily a designer who has learned to code. They should demonstrate experience shipping production software, building scalable component systems, and maintaining a high standard for visual and interaction quality.

Candidates should be comfortable working in high-growth environments and taking significant ownership over both technical implementation and product experience. A strong portfolio or personal website demonstrating high-quality visual and interaction design is an important part of the evaluation process.
