Founding Design Engineer

About The Role

You will own how stepscale AI looks and feels - the product UI, the marketing site, the brand artefacts, and the engineering-facing surfaces (CLI output, slack alerts, dashboards). This is a hands-on role for someone who writes production frontend code and cares deeply about visual craft.

What you will work on

• The customer-facing dashboard that visualises scaling history, anomalies, and savings
• The CLI output and Slack alerts - these are real UI surfaces
• The marketing site (Astro, Tailwind), already in a good place but in need of an opinionated owner
• The component system that every surface above shares
  
  

• 4+ years shipping production frontend, ideally including ownership over a complete product surface
• Real design sensibility - you can mock something convincing in Figma and translate it into production code
• Strong taste for B2B SaaS / developer tools UI; you can name three product UIs you respect and articulate why
• Comfortable working without a design or product manager - this is a self-driving role
• Bonus: prior experience visualising time-series data or infrastructure state
