Design Engineer

📋 Description

• • EliseAI is at the forefront of revolutionizing essential industries like housing and healthcare, making them more accessible and efficient through advanced AI agents. We are seeking a pioneering Frontend Design Engineer to join our dynamic team and take ownership of the end-to-end user experience across our core products and marketing website. This is a unique opportunity to operate at the critical intersection of design and engineering, where you will be instrumental in establishing and evolving our design system, shaping the visual identity of our platform, and rebuilding key interfaces to enhance consistency, clarity, and overall usability. As the first dedicated Design Engineer, you will set the standard for our frontend development practices and play a pivotal role in translating design vision into tangible, high-quality user experiences.
• • Your primary responsibility will be to collaborate closely with design, product, and engineering teams to develop, maintain, and continuously improve our design system. This involves ensuring aesthetic cohesion across all user-facing elements and building a scalable, robust front-end architecture that supports rapid growth and iteration. You will work hand-in-hand with Product Managers and engineers to align on project requirements, assess technical feasibility, and strategically sequence feature development, actively contributing to how features are conceived and brought to life from initial concept through to successful launch.
• • A key aspect of this role involves documenting design patterns, championing consistency, and driving the adoption of shared systems and components across all development teams. You will be empowered to define and refine our process and approach to frontend development, serving as the crucial bridge between the nuanced intent of design and the practical implementation of production code. This includes translating intricate Figma designs into pixel-perfect, accessible, and highly performant interfaces, with an unwavering focus on visual consistency and delivering an exceptional user experience.
• • You will be responsible for designing and implementing thoughtful UI interactions and micro-interactions that not only enhance clarity and provide immediate feedback but also significantly improve the overall usability of our products. This includes bringing high-quality interaction patterns to life, such as sophisticated transitions, dynamic states, and responsive behaviors that contribute to a polished and intuitive interface. Close collaboration with the engineering team will be essential to ensure that components are shipped with the intended fidelity, thereby minimizing visual regressions and reducing the need for post-launch polish.
• • Furthermore, you will play a vital role in refactoring existing user interfaces to seamlessly integrate the design system, thereby improving usability and unifying the visual language across both our product suite and marketing site. This proactive approach will ensure a cohesive and professional brand presence. You will also contribute to attracting top-tier talent to our highly motivated team, embodying the spirit of innovation and excellence that defines EliseAI.
• • We operate at rocket speed, building something massive. EliseAI is scaling rapidly, addressing real client problems with precision and ambition. In this environment, you will experience full autonomy and ownership of your impact, free from micromanagement and unnecessary bureaucracy. We hire the best, expect the best, and provide an environment for the masterclass of your career. This role is challenging, intense, and promises to be the most rewarding work you will ever undertake. If you are hungry, driven, and ready to build something truly significant, we encourage you to join us.
• • This role is fully remote, offering the flexibility to work from anywhere. We are looking for individuals who thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and are eager to make a substantial impact. Your contributions will directly influence the user experience of millions of people interacting with our housing and healthcare solutions.
