Design Engineer
Everything a user sees of mynd — this site, the dashboard, the run trace viewer — should feel like one disciplined hand made it. You are that hand. Not a designer who hands off, not an engineer who needs a mock: both, in one person, with taste you can defend.
What you will do
Own the visual language end to end — type, motion, spacing, the darkroom system — and evolve it without diluting it.
Build the dashboard surfaces where people read traces, manage contexts, and grant permissions. Make the permission screen so clear it becomes a trust feature.
Ship marketing pages that load fast, read honestly, and never use a stock illustration.
Prototype in production code. Figma is for thinking; the artifact is the deployed page.
Hold the line on craft in review — kindly, specifically, and with a suggested fix.
What we need
A portfolio of shipped work where you did both the design and the front-end code. We will look at the live sites, not the case studies.
Expert-level React and CSS. You know what layout thrash is and your animations run at 60fps on a mid-range phone.
Typography fundamentals — you can explain why a line length is wrong.
You have strong taste and loosely held implementations: you defend the standard, not your draft.
4+ years of work, at least some of it on a product people used daily.
Nice to have
Motion design experience — real easing curves, not library defaults.
You have built data-dense interfaces (traces, logs, tables) that stayed legible.
You have published writing or tools about your craft.
