Design Engineer
Pace, New York City
The role
We're looking for our first Design Engineer to bridge design and code. You'll shape how Pace looks, feels, and works - and ship it.
WHAT MAKES A DESIGN ENGINEER DIFFERENT FROM A PRODUCT DESIGNER?
Both roles care deeply about craft, systems thinking, and user experience. The difference is that you don't stop at the design file. You prototype quickly, contribute directly to the codebase, and bring your own designs to production. You're a designer with a frontend engineering habit - you can't help but build.
Nice to have
- Startup background or founder experience
- Have an engineering background – whether frontend experience (intern+) or CS coursework
- Stay current with frontend engineering trends
What this looks like in practice
- Own end-to-end design from discovery through delivery, talking regularly to internal users, customers, and stakeholders to understand problems, then shipping solutions
