  • Contribute to component documentation via Storybook or equivalent tools

  • Push visual polish: micro-interactions, motion, layout finesse, and responsiveness

  • Maintain a high bar for UI detail, consistency, and design fidelity

Key Competencies:

  • You care deeply about design craft, but you write code for a living

  • You think in components, systems, and UX patterns

  • You enjoy building developer-friendly design systems

  • You obsess over layout precision, motion, and polish

  • You love collaborating with designers to bring ideas to life

  • You’re pragmatic, fast, and comfortable shipping in small iterations

  • You are familiar with our tech stack:

    • Monorepo powered by Turborepo

    • Next.js App Router

    • TailwindCSS, Radix UI, shadcn/ui

    • Typescript, React, Framer Motion

    • Vercel, Supabase, Three.js

Bonus Qualities:

  • Interest or experience in 3D, R3F, or creative tooling

  • Familiarity with accessibility (a11y) and WCAG guidelines

  • Experience building design systems from scratch or at scale

Benefits: 

  • We are a remote-first company with a small concentration in the Bay Area.

  • Health insurance for you and your dependants

  • 401(k) plan 

  • Flexible PTO
