Senior Design Engineer
Turquoise, Remote
The role
This is a fully remote role within the United States.
We’re looking for a product-minded Design Engineer to bridge the gap between design intent and the experience we ultimately ship. You’ll evolve Pit Viper, Turquoise Health’s design system and component library, while working directly in product code to improve the usability, consistency, accessibility, and polish of our applications.
Pit Viper includes visual foundations, layouts, CSS patterns, and pv-components built with Vue. Those components can also be distributed as native Web Components, allowing us to reuse the system in lighter-weight, server-driven parts of the product powered by Django templates.
You’ll help determine what the right interactions should be, implement them in production, and identify when an individual product improvement should become a reusable system capability.
What you will do
- Design, build, test, document, and maintain reusable pv-components within our internal design system (PitViper)
- Create thoughtful component APIs, composition patterns, variants, interaction states, and extension points that serve emerging product needs
- Ensure components work naturally within Vue applications while remaining useful as native Web Components in HTML and other server-rendered product surfaces
- Partner closely with product designers and engineers throughout the development process, from early exploration through production implementation
- Work directly in application code to refine layouts, interactions, responsive behavior, typography, spacing, focus management, transitions, and feedback states
- Last-mile design delivery: implementation of details that are often missed between a design file and production, including loading, empty, error, success, disabled, hover, and keyboard-navigation states
- Review product surfaces for visual, behavioral, and accessibility inconsistencies, then fix them at the appropriate level: within the feature, shared application code, or Pit Viper
- Improve the documentation, testing, release processes, and contribution practices that make Pit Viper easier for other teams to adopt
What you need
- 5+ years building production web interfaces with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript or TypeScript
- 1+ years of direct, hands-on experience building or maintaining a design system, component library, or shared UI framework (not just consuming one)
- Strong visual and interaction-design judgment. You can recognize why an interface feels unfinished and translate that observation into a concrete implementation
