# Software Engineer (Product / Design)
**Company:** [Centralize](https://hotfix.jobs/companies/centralize)
**Location:** Remote
**Salary:** $170K-$210K
**Skills:** React, Next.js, TypeScript, CSS, Figma, Design Systems, Micro-Interactions, Animations
**Posted:** 2026-04-29
> Design engineer owning the look, feel, and motion of a relationship intelligence platform for enterprise sales teams. Builds, prototypes, and ships polished UI components, interactions, and scalable design systems using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern CSS.
## Job Description
## What You Will Do

- Own the look, feel, and motion of Centralize across every product surface. The components, the interaction patterns, the system that ties it all together.
- Skip the handoff. You'll prototype, design, and ship in code. Figma is one tool among many, not a wall between disciplines.
- Build the polish that makes the product feel alive: transitions, micro-interactions, empty states, loading states, the small moments most teams skip.
- Establish and evolve our design system as the product surface grows. Make it scalable enough that the next ten engineers can ship fast without breaking the visual bar.
- Talk to customers. Sit on sales calls, watch users navigate the product, and translate what you see into design and interaction decisions.
- Set the standard for visual and interaction quality at Centralize, and raise it every quarter.

## What We Are Looking For

- A portfolio that makes the case for itself. We care about the work, not the resume. Show us the product surfaces, the interactions, and the details you've shipped.
- **Strong fluency in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern CSS**. You can build any UI you can imagine, and you can imagine a lot.
- Real expertise in motion and interaction. You know when an animation earns its place and when it doesn't, and you can implement either with confidence.
- Sharp visual taste. You can look at a screen and see what's wrong, and you can look at a blank screen and know what should go there.
- Excellent written and verbal English communication. You can explain a design decision in a doc, defend it in a meeting, and demo it to a customer.
- Demonstrated ability to operate independently. We give you the goal, not the steps.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Experience as the first design engineer or design-leaning founding engineer at a fast-growing startup.
- Background shipping consumer-grade UI in a B2B product. Bonus if you've worked in CRM, sales tools, or other enterprise software categories.
- Open-source contributions, side projects, or a personal site that shows your craft outside of work.
- Experience building and maintaining a design system at scale.

## Compensation and Logistics

- **$170,000 to $210,000 base salary** depending on level, plus **0.20% to 0.60% equity**. Final offer calibrated to seniority and experience.
- Fully covered medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k)
- Parental leave
- Unlimited PTO plus company holidays
- Quarterly offsite
- Equipment stipend
