Founding Design Engineer

About the Role Join a small, early-stage consumer apps team as a Founding Design Engineer. You will own an app end to end, shaping its design and implementation and helping it improve after launch. What You'll Do - Build features from initial sketches through mobile release. - Create polished, native-feeling screens and interactions, including motion and haptics. - Develop product loops that encourage users to return. - Review product data and speak with users to decide what to improve or remove. - Stay involved with the product after launch and iterate based on what you learn. What We're Looking For - Experience building and shipping consumer mobile apps with real users, ideally with work available to inspect in an app store or similar. - Experience owning an app across design, implementation, data, and release. - Ability to create visual and interaction designs and implement them in code. - Experience with Flutter, Dart, Swift, or Kotlin, and familiarity with Firebase and TypeScript. - Experience building products in a startup environment and independently moving work forward without detailed specifications. - Ability to use product data and user conversations to guide decisions after launch.
