About the role

Design Engineer role at Confido, an AI-enabled financial automation platform for CPG brands. NYC-based full-time position focusing on product design and front-end engineering, with ownership over the user experience of a complex enterprise platform.

Responsibilities

  • Shape the strategic direction of product and feature roadmaps, not just execute them
  • Build working prototypes early, put them in front of real customers, and use what you learn to reshape the feature before it's fully built out
  • Partner tightly with engineering and product to define, prototype, and ship—often all in the same week
  • Sweat the details, the hundreds of small decisions that make a complex operator tool feel effortless instead of overwhelming
  • Take validated patterns and refine them directly in code, contributing back into the design system
  • Find ways to ship great work under real constraints. Scrappily, not sloppily

Qualifications

  • 3–5 years of experience across both design and front-end engineering, ideally in B2B SaaS, enterprise tools, or complex workflow products
  • A portfolio that demonstrates strong product thinking, polished craft, and the ability to make hard problems feel simple
  • Track record of seeing large, ambiguous projects through from zero to shipped
  • Active use of tools like Cursor and Claude Code, with clear opinions on how to get high-quality output from them
  • A strong eye for design, with deep care for layout, motion, affordances, and visual polish
  • Direct communication style; you influence through the quality of your thinking, not org chart position
