Job Description
Founding Designer at neoBIM transforming the construction industry with AI-powered Building Information Modeling. Owning the design system, collaborating with engineers, and defining the product's look and feel.
Responsibilities:
- Define and build our design system in code, using shadcn/ui as the foundation — tokens, variants, modes, responsive behaviour, accessibility
- Prototype directly in code with AI assistance (Claude), so what you "design" is already buildable and lives in the codebase
- Design the entire product surface — from the 3D canvas and viewport controls to property panels, dashboards, and onboarding flows
- Own iconography and illustration: either craft our icon set and product illustrations yourself, or art-direct freelancers to deliver a consistent, high-quality visual language
- Work in a tight loop with engineers, where "handoff" mostly means a code review, not a translation
- Shape the brand and marketing surface as the company grows
Requirements:
- You work in code (HTML/CSS/React) and are comfortable using tools like Claude or similar tools to turn ideas into a working UI.
- You don't need to be an engineer, but the terminal and a component file don't scare you
- You have experience designing for 3D, spatial, or canvas-based software — a tool you've shipped, a serious side project, or deep experience using Blender, Rhino, SketchUp, Cinema 4D, Spline, or a game engine.
- You understand viewport controls, gizmos, camera behaviour, and the seam between 2D UI and a live 3D scene
- You've designed with shadcn/ui and understand how its tokens, variants, and primitives compose
- You have a strong icon and illustration eye — you can either produce this work or direct freelancers to a consistent result, and you know what good looks like
- You design with light/dark mode and responsiveness from the start, not as an afterthought.
Benefits:
- Founding-level ownership of design at a well-backed startup with a credible founding team in the AEC/3D space
- Competitive salary
- Direct access to the founders, no design-by-committee, no layers between you and the work
- The chance to define how a category of professional 3D tooling looks and feels for the next decade
- Access to World-Class Infrastructure
- A Culture of Deep Tech and Real-World Application
- Flexibility with remote first work environment and a great team that shapes the future
