# Design Engineer

**Company:** [Metriport](https://hotfix.jobs/companies/metriport)
**Location:** San Francisco, CA
**Role:** Product Design
**Salary:** $140k – $180k/yr
**Skills:** Figma, React, Component Architecture, State Management, Typography, Design Systems, Frontend Development, UI/UX Design
**Posted:** 2026-06-09

> Design Engineer who owns the design system, leads frontend implementation in React, and builds data-dense UIs for healthcare workflows.

## Job Description

## What You'll Do
- Build and maintain the design system and establish a coherent design language — components, spacing, typography, color — that is simple.
- Lead frontend implementation and set direction on the frontend, review implementation against design intent, and write production code where it matters most.
- Talk to, and advocate for, users; understand their workflows, form an opinionated view on the right solution, and drive toward it.
- Solve data-dense UI problems and build interfaces that surface complex, high-volume medical data. Make hard layout and performance tradeoffs and know when good enough is correct and when it isn't.

## Requirements
- Design instincts: You produce Figma work that is considered and defensible — with clear opinions on typography, hierarchy, and interaction patterns.
- Frontend fluency: You understand React well enough to lead implementation and run reviews — component architecture, rendering behavior, state management.
- Pragmatism: You know what to polish and what to ship. You walk the tightrope between craft and speed without falling off either side.
- The "Metriport" Mindset: Low ego, high ownership. You ask "Why can't this be done in 3 days?" instead of 3 weeks.

## Benefits
- Competitive equity + compensation package
- Full family Platinum health insurance, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) retirement plan + matching
- Flexible work from home or in-office
- Healthy lunches complimentary when in-office (and breakfast + dinners as needed)
- Quarterly company off-sites with the team
- MacBook provided by us
- Unlimited PTO
