Design Engineer

Writer

Join WRITER as a Design Engineer, where you'll own the Writer Design System (WDS) and ensure its optimization for both humans and AI agents. You'll design and build production-quality UI components, uphold front-end craft standards, and shape the design-to-code workflow. This role offers a hybrid work culture, competitive benefits, and opportunities for growth.

Responsibilities

  • Posséder le système de design de Writer (WDS) en tant que domaine principal, en veillant à ce qu'il soit optimisé pour les humains et les agents d'IA.
  • Concevoir et construire des composants et des fonctionnalités d'interface utilisateur de qualité production, en prenant en charge les surfaces du croquis à l'expédition.
  • Collaborer avec les designers, les chefs de produit et les responsables techniques pour mesurer l'adoption du WDS, combler les lacunes et s'assurer que les fonctionnalités expédiées respectent les normes du système de design.
  • A genuine commitment to WRITER's values of Connect, Challenge, and Own

Requirements

  • 4–8+ years building production frontends with TypeScript and React, with a track record of owning a system, platform, or surface end-to-end rather than individual features
  • Solid instincts for animation principles including easing curves, choreography, anticipation, follow-through, interruptibility, and perceived performance
  • Fluency in Figma at expert level — auto-layout, variants, variables, and code connect — and proficiency with design engineering technologies like framer-motion, gsap, and lottie for web-based animation
  • A demonstrable obsession with craft, backed by a portfolio, side projects, GitHub, or production work that includes systems-level work and not just feature work
  • Experience with AI product surfaces — tool-call UIs, streaming responses, agent state, and dynamic UI rendering — and comfort navigating ambiguous, cross-team problems with good judgment about when to loop others in
  • Experience driving adoption of a design system or shared platform across an engineering org, with a track record of influencing technical or design direction beyond your immediate team
