## Job Description

## What You'll Do
- Design and build polished, user-facing product experiences across core surfaces of the product.
- Contribute to features end to end, from UX exploration through implementation and iteration, with guidance from the team.
- Use layout, interaction design, and motion to make powerful workflows feel intuitive and fast.
- Contribute to our design system, component library, and frontend patterns.
- Work closely with product, design, and engineering to turn ambiguous ideas into simple, high-quality experiences.
- Bring care and craft to the details: accessibility, performance, reliability, and edge cases.

## What You Bring
- Currently in your final year of study in design, computer science, or a related field.
- Hands-on experience with TypeScript, React, and modern frontend development, through coursework, personal projects, or prior internships.
- Some exposure to design systems, component libraries, or reusable frontend patterns.
- Strong product intuition and an ability to make thoughtful UX decisions, even with limited guidance.
- A portfolio or work samples that demonstrate both design sensibility and frontend execution.
- Care for craft beyond the obvious: you sweat the details others miss.

## Bonus Points
- Experience with Tailwind CSS, Next.js, TanStack Query, or similar modern frontend tooling.
- Familiarity with Figma or other design tools for exploring and communicating ideas.
- Interest in developer tools, technical products, or AI-native products.
- Any full-stack exposure, especially enough backend fluency to unblock your own product work.
