Product Design Engineer

About the company

Our client is a software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Lead the complete user-facing experience of a software platform, blending interface design with hands-on frontend development. Move an early working version toward a polished public release, making product judgment calls independently and partnering with the founder and the engineering group.

What you'll do

- Shape the whole user experience across every part of the product, from structure and flows through to the finished interface.

- Produce designs in Figma and turn them into production frontend code.

- Refine an existing beta version into a polished, release-ready product.

- Prioritize upcoming improvements using feedback gathered directly from early adopters.

- Set up the design system and frontend conventions that later hires will extend.

- Work alongside the engineers responsible for backend services and infrastructure.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- 6 to 10 years of experience in product design, frontend engineering or a mix of the two.

- Sound aesthetic and usability instincts, demonstrated in products you have released.

- Skill in both designing and building, including production-quality frontend development.

- A history of launching products that people actually use.

- Concrete evidence of high performance, for example a distinctive portfolio, entrepreneurial background or a fast-rising early-stage career.

- Confidence running a product from start to finish with little structure, guidance or surrounding design staff.

Bonus points

- Past experience as a founder who built a carefully crafted product.

- Time spent at an early-stage, design-focused technology company.

- A degree from a leading university or a similarly competitive credential.

- Background creating software for people who run businesses.
