Design Engineer
Spruce, London +1
The role
We're now looking for a Design Engineer who wants to design & ship exceptional outcomes for users. Most of our product is a front end over hard physics (heat-loss calculations, hydronic design, LiDAR floor plans, compliance that has to be right), used by installers on a phone, with no signal, in a hurry. Making that feel simple is a design problem and an engineering problem at the same time, and this role sits right on that seam.
You'll own how the product looks, feels and behaves wherever installers use it, from the first sketch to the shipped feature. Installers only adopt Spruce if it's easy to use on a real job, and adoption is what drives our growth. That puts your work at the centre of the business. Day-to-day you'll be:
- Designing and shipping – You'll take a flow from rough idea all the way to production, prototyping in whatever gets you to an answer fastest (often code, sometimes Figma or a sketch), and testing with installers as you go. The gap between "we should fix this" and "it's fixed" is often a day.
