Junior Design Engineer

The Role

This is an individual contributor role. Nobody reports to you. You sit in the TECH team, which builds and ships changes to our store and landing pages every week.

The Product Designer decides what a page is for and how it should feel. The creative lead owns the brand rules. The Senior Design Engineer owns the section kit and reviews your design and code. Within those, the layout and build decisions on your pages are yours. Engineers own checkout logic, data and release.

You will ship real pages to real customers from your first month. Small pages first, bigger formats as you grow.

Reporting line: Direct to the CTO.

The title means little. If your CV says Web Designer, Front-end Designer, UI Designer or Creative Developer, or you are self-taught with live work to show, apply.

What Will You Do?

• Design and build. Turn a brief into a finished landing page or store section, in Figma and in code.
• Ship variants. Build test variants fast from the section kit, so the team can learn what customers respond to.
• Grow the kit. Add new sections to the kit in Figma and in code, with review from the Senior Design Engineer.
• Stay on brand. Apply our typography, colour, photography and tone rules every time.
• Design and build accessibly. Meet WCAG 2.1 AA in design and in code: semantic HTML, contrast, focus states, labels and alt text.
• Ship with AI. Use AI to generate layouts, code and asset variations. Read what it gives you and fix it before review. Keep customer data out of unapproved tools.

Our Stack

• Figma, HTML, CSS, Tailwind, React and Next.js on Vercel, our in-house tools for AI-generated landing pages, PostHog, GitHub and Linear.
• Our AI tooling includes Claude, Codex and Figma AI.
• You do not need to know every tool. A strong eye, clean HTML and CSS, and the ability to learn matter more than matching the list.

Skills & Qualifications

At least one year designing and building for the web, in a job, freelance or your own projects, with live pages you made yourself.

Essential

• A good eye for layout, typography and visual hierarchy. Your portfolio shows taste.
• Live web pages. You have designed and built pages that real people use.
• HTML and CSS. You write clean, responsive markup without help.
• Basic JavaScript. You can change a React component or a template and follow a code review.
• Figma, with components and auto layout.
• Accessibility basics. You know what WCAG 2.1 AA asks for, and you check contrast and labels.
• Git basics, or the will to learn them in your first weeks.
• A working AI practice for design or code. Walk us through a recent example, including what you had to fix.
• English at B2/C1 minimum.
• Four hours of overlap with the team's EU working day.
