Design Engineer
Eagle, New York City
The role
As a Design Engineer, you'll work directly with the CTO to own how that intelligence becomes something engineers actually trust and use. The hard part isn't only modeling the data—it's making non-deterministic, agentic systems legible to people who have never worked with a software company before. You own the surface where that trust is won or lost. You get a front-row seat to building a company from zero—engaging with product strategy, firm acquisitions, and architecture decisions—on a problem domain that's barely been touched by AI.
What you will do
- Embed with staff at engineering firms alongside the founders; watch how they actually work, then come back and design and build against what you saw
- Own the product surface end-to-end—from interaction design and prototyping through shipping the production front-end yourself
- Establish and own our design system: the components, patterns, and primitives that have to stay coherent as we compound products across acquisitions
- Define the interaction patterns for an AI-native platform—streaming and latency, human-in-the-loop review, provenance and citations, and making agent behavior transparent enough to trust
