• Walk us through your day-to-day and project-to-project workflows in detail • Talk through real (appropriately anonymized) projects so we understand the design intent behind work • Pressure-test product ideas and early prototypes: tell us, candidly, where they'd save real time, where they'd add risk, and where they fall apart against real practice • Help us map where mechanical hands off to electrical, plumbing, structural, and architectural - and where coordination and clash detection actually break down • Distill where the work is irreducible engineering judgment versus repetitive process that's ripe for automation

• Prototype AI-native ideas in code, fast. Take a concept from Figma or an LLM conversation to a working production-grade React code in days, owning layout, interaction, motion, accessibility, and performance; • Ship production-grade Growth surfaces. Own key surfaces end to end: layout, interaction, motion, accessibility, performance; • Own the quality ceiling. AI is raising the floor on execution; your job is the ceiling — the judgment, taste, and interaction craft AI can't supply. Define what "good" looks like when shipping with AI, through reviews, examples, and reusable patterns others can lean on; • Extend our AI-enabled tools and processes. Improve our processes, patterns, and prompt libraries so the rest of the team can move at your pace; • Set the quality bar for AI-assisted output. Partner with design leadership to define what ‘good’ looks like when shipping with AI — through reviews, examples, and reusable patterns others can lean on; • Trailblaze the Design Engineer function at PandaDoc. Own work end to end, from problem framing to launch, and shape how this role operates as the first hire in it; • Measure your impact two ways: what you ship, and how much faster the team ships because of you.
