Job Description

Design Engineer creating beautiful interfaces that solve real problems for agricultural operators. Join a team focused on modernizing financial infrastructure for family-run businesses.

Responsibilities:

  • Grow our design system — Build and evolve component libraries, interaction patterns, and design tokens that work seamlessly across web and mobile platforms
  • Ship beautiful, functional experiences — Design and build user-facing features from concept to production, translating complex agricultural finance workflows into interfaces that feel natural for ranchers and farmers
  • Champion product craft — Establish quality standards and processes that ensure every feature we ship solves real problems elegantly
  • Scale our frontend architecture — Contribute to improving design system infrastructure, development workflows, and tooling as we grow
  • Collaborate across disciplines — Work with design on visual standards, product on feature requirements, and engineering on technical architecture

Requirements:

  • 3+ years building high-quality web and mobile experiences
  • Design system ownership: You've built or worked extensively with component libraries and understand both the technical and human challenges
  • Strong design instincts: You can spot when something feels off in a UI and create high-fidelity prototypes in Figma
  • Advanced frontend skills: Clean, performant code with solid grasp of data structures, async programming, and modern development workflows
  • Mission-driven: Excited to solve real problems for people who work the land and help family-run businesses become more profitable and resilient
  • Comfortable with ambiguity: You thrive when balancing user needs, business requirements, and technical constraints to create elegant solutions
  • Collaborative by nature: Sitting at the center of design and engineering, you work well across disciplines to get things done
  • Bonus: Experience at fast-moving startups, building financial products, or working with React, TypeScript, React Native, and Next.js
