Job Description
Design Engineer
Artificial Labs
• Own the front of the frontend — the component system, page layouts, CSS architecture, visual quality, animation, and micro-interaction detail across the Artificial Platform. • Implementation quality is your responsibility. • Work on Bets — we use an adapted Shape Up methodology, alternating between major new feature development (“Bets”) and ongoing iterative improvements. • Work from design problems, not just specs — you engage in the design problem-solving process, contributing to figuring out what to build, not just building what you’re handed. • Build working prototypes in React (and, using LLMs, occasional vibed Haskell backend code) that explore interactions, test assumptions, and communicate solutions to the team. • Define how features work, not just how they look — writing RFCs and feature specifications complete enough for Product Engineers to build upon, covering behaviour, edge cases, and system interactions. • Expand and maintain our React-based design system — components, primitives, design tokens, and the documentation that makes them usable. • Stay close to customer insight — through Forward Deployed Engineers, internal recordings, occasional customer calls and conversations with teammates who have direct customer relationships. • Collaborate with Product Engineers — work together on features, providing feedback and direction, polishing their work in code. • And when the frontend engineering work gets heavier, hand it over to them to extend your work. • Collaborate with other designers — participate in design crits and pairing sessions to bring a strong implementation perspective to conversations about design decisions and directions (and propose your own ideas, too!).
Job Requirements
- 8+ years working as a designer, design engineer, or a combination of both — with meaningful time spent on both sides of the design-code boundary.
- Strong CSS and interaction design capabilities.
- You care deeply about the implementation layer and how things feel in active use.
- Strong in TypeScript (and React).
- You can contribute to (and own, where necessary) production-quality frontend code, and you understand how your design decisions affect engineering feasibility and maintainability.
- Strong communicator — written and verbal.
- You advocate for your ideas with clarity and confidence, and you’re genuinely receptive to feedback.
- You write well enough that your specs and decisions hold up without you in the room to explain them.
- Thrives with autonomy.
- You manage your own priorities, communicate proactively, and don’t need someone to tell you what to do next.
- You’re comfortable navigating uncertainty and balancing competing demands.
- Experience in complex domains (insurtech, fintech, healthcare, legal, etc), developer tools or B2B SaaS products.
- Experience working at startups or scale-ups.
- Comfortable working from incomplete information.
- You make partial decisions well and are explicit about what you’re leaving open.
- Willingness to visit our London office occasionally. This is a big plus, though this is a remote role, so it’s not a dealbreaker if you’re not in a position to do this.
