Requirements
- 7+ years of frontend or design engineering experience, including time spent operating at a senior IC level on a high-bar team.
- Deep expertise with React, Next.js, and TypeScript.
- Expertise with Tailwind CSS and modern CSS (container queries, cascade layers, OKLCH, view transitions, etc.).
- Demonstrated experience designing and building component libraries used by other engineering teams.
- Fluency in Figma — including variables, modes, auto layout, and component architecture that mirrors code.
- Proficiency with motion and interaction design, including modern animation libraries.
- Strong grasp of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2) and performance metrics (Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse).
- Comfort designing data-dense interfaces — tables, charts, dashboards, real-time displays.
- Familiar with monorepos, CI/CD, and GitHub Actions.
- Excellent written communication. You can explain a technical decision, a design rationale, or a trade-off in writing in a way that lands with the audience.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement complex, data-rich product surfaces on Horizon — our maritime acoustic data platform — from first sketch to production.
- Help evolve our design system and component library. Uphold the standards for accessibility, type safety, performance, and API design that the rest of the org builds on.
- Pair tightly with Product, full-stack engineers, other design engineers, and stakeholders — translating ambiguous mission requirements into concrete UI directions and trade-offs.
- Set the craft bar through review and mentorship. Run pull request reviews and design audits that level up the people around you.
- Champion performance, accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA), and maintainability as first-class concerns — not afterthoughts.
- Help shape how Design Engineering scales at Spear AI.
