About the role

Founding Design Engineer role at Superset, a YC-funded startup building self-improving software. You will define visual direction, frontend implementation in React/TypeScript, and design systems, partnering with the CPO to shape product from exploration to production.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build the workflows engineers use to coordinate agents, understand their progress, step in when needed, and review their work.
  • Own our visual direction across the product, website, and launch pages.
  • Prototype quickly, then refine typography, motion, keyboard interactions, and accessibility.
  • Talk directly with users, use feedback and product data to guide decisions, and improve the experience after it ships.
  • Build design systems, reusable components, and interaction patterns that help the team and coding agents ship consistent interfaces.
  • In your first 90 days, establish visual direction, launch a new homepage, and ship a meaningful improvement to the product experience.

Qualifications

  • You’ve shipped polished interfaces and can articulate design decisions and process.
  • You bring strong visual and interaction craft and have made technical or data-rich products understandable without removing the control advanced users need.
  • You have strong visual taste and can move between Figma and working prototypes built with coding agents.
  • You can build and debug production UI with React, TypeScript, CSS, and Tailwind.
  • You use coding agents daily and can work independently.
  • You can work in person in San Francisco five days a week.
