Job Details

Description

Rive is a new way to build production-ready UI and graphics — with rich interactivity and state-driven animation. We're on a mission to make hard-coded graphics a thing of the past with a new general-purpose graphics format for all types of software and Ul. Rive empowers teams to iterate faster and build better products.

We’ve seen tremendous organic growth over the last few years. Our innovative customers include tech giants, game studios, consumer apps with millions of users… there are even Rive pixels in space!

Given that Rive is a new type of design tool, there's a lot of opportunity to define and shape entirely new tools and ways of working. We have some unique and complex problems to solve.

As a designer this is a really exciting opportunity to create tools for other designers while being creative in truly new ways. You’ll contribute to redefining the workflows and mindsets of our peers. You’ll contribute to new and existing features, and bring lessons learned to help us define our design system and processes as we grow.

What you'll do

  • Contribute to bringing new features to the Rive Editor — shaping the tools our users interact with daily.
  • Iterate on existing tools to expand their feature set and improve the user experience.
  • Work alongside software engineers to define and implement how a feature is presented and interacted with by the user.
  • Define user workflows that aim to simplify complex tasks, while adhering to our existing patterns.
  • Implement the UI while the engineering team implements the API and infrastructure.
  • Contribute to the development of a formal design system and general design processes as we scale.

Requirements

What you will bring

  • The skills of an experienced Designer who can code, or an Engineer who can design.
  • Prior experience with complex product UI (a design or engineering product is highly desirable).
  • Experienced with UI frameworks across any format or language, with a willingness to transfer those skills to Dart/Flutter.
  • Passionate about delivering exceptional user experiences, particularly in the context of designer/developer tools.
  • Ability to self-manage, with prior experience seeing projects and features through from conception to implementation.
  • Experience with modern product design tools, such as Figma.
  • Ideally some familiarity or experience with Rive.
  • Prior experience working in a startup or small nimble team.

Benefits

Compensation and benefits

We offer a remote work environment, comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage as well as stock options. Compensation may depend on the level of experience and geographic location.

At Rive, we are a global group of passionate designers and developers who believe in transparency, failing fast, quick iteration, and experimentation. We aim to build a diverse and inclusive culture where everyone feels supported.

We have an incredible opportunity to change the world of interactive content creation. Help us accelerate the design industry's transition to Rive!
